1.\tGo on a group holiday<\/strong>
\nSome people may have already done this with Leaving Cert holidays becoming increasingly popular but if you haven\u2019t, group holidays can be a great opportunity to explore a new place and meet new people along with your mates.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

2.\tGo to a music festival<\/strong>
\nThere\u2019s a music festival to cater to almost every genre, and as well as the music, the atmosphere is incredible!<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

3.\tTry something out of your comfort zone<\/strong>
\nWhether it’s skydiving, trying a delicacy from another country or performing in front of a group of people, pushing your own boundaries can result in a newfound confidence or interest.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

4.\tTake up a new hobby<\/strong>
\nAlways loved music but were never able to play? Maybe now is the time to learn. Or perhaps you were never the athletic type but suddenly a certain sport has caught your eye. UL has plenty of clubs and societies for you to choose from, so, by all means, pick something up!<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

5.\tVolunteer<\/strong>
\nCharities are always thankful for an extra pair of hands, and working for a good cause will make you feel good about yourself too!<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

6.\tExplore every corner of campus<\/strong>
\nMost of your time as a student will be taken up with walking between classes, studying and going out. But one night, if you have nothing to do, why not visit the sections of campus you\u2019ve never been to?<\/p>\n

7.\tBefriend someone different from you in every possible way<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019ll either go two ways \u2013 you\u2019ll part ways and you\u2019ll have learnt a lot about a different kind of personality, or you\u2019ll have one more person to enjoy the company of.<\/p>\n

8.\tAttend a ball<\/strong>
\nThey\u2019re a change from the normal college routine, and who doesn\u2019t pass up an excuse to get dressed up with their friends?<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

9.\tLearn how to cook at least one fancy meal perfectly<\/strong>
\nCollege students are stereotyped as living on a diet that consists of Pot Noodles, pizza and alcohol, so why not try and prove it wrong?<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

10.\tGet the best out of yourself<\/strong>
\nAchieve your full potential. Make yourself the happiest you can possibly be, achieve your peak fitness, and accomplish whatever small goals you may have along the way. Enter the world of work with confidence in your stride and a smile on your face.<\/p>\n
