“I’ve been told LMU is famous for its traditions, but what are the can’t-miss ones that I simply must pack into my four years here, so I don’t graduate without experiencing them?” —Micaela Hammond ’19
Open Mic night! Also, First Amendment Week speakers or any speaker invited by your department. You get to learn from and network with professionals outside LMU, and they are usually really inspirational. Those opportunities don’t come as often after you graduate, or you have to pay hundreds or even thousands to attend their lectures.

I think a vision is important, but this is a great time in your life to enjoy being a student; be open and explore your passion. You have the rest of your life to pack on the checklist for your career. Have fun, watch the sunset and just chill with friends. See a campus concert or performance.
