It's going to be fun knowing about this topic and of course it is needed before it's too late, so let's dive in!

Introduction

College life is the most vibrant phase for a youth in their entire existence. College life can basically be divided into two parts: graduation and post-graduation. Undergraduate years are a time to enjoy, relish and cherish.

Post-graduation students become mature and after completion, they start juggling between their personal lives and their professional lives, sparing little time for enjoyment. These undergraduate years are very fascinating in one's lifespan, as the moments, the memories, and the bliss that one gets during this period are unimaginable and unforgettable.

The experiences that you should try before graduating that are worth mentioning are:

Office Holder

College has a lot of societies, clubs, and councils. The students should experience this joining process by filling out the forms and giving interviews. Exposing oneself through this journey makes one pragmatic, responsible and confident.

If you get to hold a position in society, then you can work for the development and welfare of other students, help them, and guide them. If you do exceptionally well in your dealings, then many of your juniors will aspire to become like you.

When one holds a position or represents a post, one develops polished manners and communication skills, enlarges conceptual thinking, and enhances the aura and personality of oneself. The different kinds of society in colleges include

Literacy Society - Debate Society, Creative Writing Society, Quiz Society

Academic and Professional Society - Civil Servants Society, Science Society, Law Society, Commerce Society

Cultural Societies - Dance Society, Music Society, Drama Society, Fashion Society, Fine-Arts Society

Social Service and Environment Society - NCC (National Cadet Corps), NSS (National Service Scheme), Sports Club, Eco Club

Special Interest Society -  Photography Society, Film Society, Adventure and Trekking Club

Each college has its own unique set of societies, and students are encouraged to join these based on their interests and talents. Participation in these societies not only enriches the college experience but also helps in the development of various soft skills and networking opportunities.

Internships

Internships are a very captivating and fun activity. If you get a chance to enroll yourself in internships that fit you the best, then it's really thrilling. This phase of your internship will give you a sense of your professional life. Internships can be paid or unpaid; they can be part-time or short-term.

One can opt for academic internships, international internships, cooperative internships, government internships, or summer internships. There are different kinds of internships, like web development (IT), data analysis & research, computer science, finance & accounting, marketing interns, event planning, photography, content creation, medical or healthcare interns and environmental science interns.

Internships or work placements are vital because it make one realize their potentials, they get to explore varied career paths and job offers, and they help in resume building, network expansion, and community engagement. At last, an individual's personal and professional development occurs.

Launching A Passion Project

If you see yourself as a businessman or a businesswoman, this assignment is for you. Beginning with a passion project is very supreme and feeling of it getting established is pristine and stupendous.

Startup teach students patience, adaptability, and resilience, develop their entrepreneurial skills, upgrade their problem-solving abilities; and augment their critical thinking. All the procedures relating to the start of your dream project is very satisfying and fulfilling. To start a passion project:
