It’s now been about a year and a half since I graduated college and upon ~reflecting~ I have realized that there are many things I’m infinitely glad I did and others that I wish I’d done a bit more of.
Here are all of the things you should do before you graduate college, from someone who has many fond memories and a few regrets.
After I graduated from college I moved my wardrobe from the tiny dorm closet to my slightly-less-tiny at-home bedroom closet. Then, I started an internship in the media world. Then, I got hired full-time as an associate editor. The past year has really been a time of transition.

So, in time for back-to-school season, here are some of my tips for making purchases that’ll actually grow with you from college classes to young-adult life in the working world. Plus, a great deal for some of my favorite items from the Candie’s collection at Kohl’s.

Now that I’m a year post-grad, here are some things I wasn’t quite expecting.
