It is officially T-minus two months until graduation. It has gone by quickly for me, and I cannot believe spring break is around the corner. With graduation near, some are thinking “what all do I really want to accomplish before graduation?”
Whatever it may be, we all have something we want to do before walking the stage. It could be something in Lubbock or a vacation. For me, I just want to take a picture with Raider Red cradling me in his arms like a baby. Some other seniors shared what is on their “bucket lists.”
