Join an intramural sport. If you've never joined an intramural team in your three years of college, it is an experience you won't want to miss. These sports are not nearly as competitive as joining the school team. They have much more to do with having a good time and being social. Not to mention you'll be burning off thousands of extra calories while you enjoy yourself in the sun. You can form a team with friends or just sign up as a single and wait to be assigned to a team. Going it alone will guarantee that you'll make new friends. Try a sport you don't even know how to play yet. There is no need to be embarrassed if you are unskilled, because intramurals are offered at all levels.

Discover the adventure program. Many schools offer outdoor adventure sports and even trips at very discounted prices. These trips are often run by other trained students. Learn to rock climb, canoe, backpack, kayak, and even river raft. This is the only time in your life you'll be guaranteed that the participants on these trips will be your peers. You'll ease off tons of stress and excess energy, and you will see incredible natural sights. After college you'll be challenged to find trips like these offered anywhere near the prices you paid in school, and you'll be even more challenged to find the time to do them.

Now that your body is back in shape, it's time to take on a different kind of challenge. If you went away for school, you probably spent at least one year living in a dorm or other form of student housing. If you moved into an apartment, you probably chose one well within the student populated area. You have already experienced the advantages of having your friends as next door neighbors, and for three years, you've never had to walk more than a block to get to a party. But what do you know about the city you live in? Consider moving downtown, or at least out of the student community during senior year. Chances are, when you graduate, you'll move back to the same neighborhood you grew up in. When people ask you what it was like living in St. Louis, New York, Santa Barbara, or Chicago, what will you tell them? Living in a new part of town, gives you a chance to discover what the city has to offer. Living away from all the noise of student life is not for everyone, but it does provide a completely fresh perspective.
