10 things to do before you graduate (Leave Ukraine).


1) Pass all your exams. (Obviously, and it is a must!!) ( Passed one, 2 more to go)

2) Sell off your entire room. ( In the process)

3) Use up all your students privilege. (Students prices, student discount, student lunch, student menu...Whatever) ( Apparently this can't be apply in Ukraine, in Europe it works thou)

4) Take pictures of all the touristy attractions at the place you study. (I always took for granted and never realize how time flies until the few months before I graduate , so a picture in front of Lenin square, Gagarin park, Rynok, and all statues over Simferopol is a must.) ( Did for the Gagarin park part, others still on the pending list..)

5) Eat and taste all the local delicacies of the place you study. (In Ukraine: this goes for Ukrainian borsch, Shaslik ( I will miss this the most), Plov, Lagman, Shurpa, Abivnaya – never learned to like this dish and all sorts of Ukrainian salads) ( Done, done done!!!)

6) To take a picture with the post-war veteran. Oh ya!!( Done and got a kiss on the cheek in return)


7) Eat as much strawberries and cherries as you can. ( Trying my very best to stuff as much of strawberries right now. Cherry season not here yet thou..)

8) To take a picture in front of the University and Surgeon Statue ( Checked and done!!)

9) Must at least visit one out of the seven wonders of Ukraine.( Visited a few and gonna visit a few more this summer)

10) Swim at the freezing black Sea ( stupid, but must try the insane temperature, still can't figure out why the black sea water is freezing.)
