UPenn Could've Would've Should've list

Another list! This is the last one, I promise. I was reflecting on this past year and wanted to write about the could've, should've, would've things to do at Penn GSE. This is just a short list of some of the things that I unfortunately missed out the chance to participate, either a class or activity. Hopefully this can inform the future cohort of Higher Education to think about spending some time to do!

1. Football game
     I think it's a tradition to go to a college football game, no matter how good they are. I unfortunately did not seize the chances to go to a game (I did go to a Penn basketball game). Looking back, that would have been a wonderful time to get to know my friends in the cohort even better. I did not realize that Spring semester would create such a drift among some of the people I hung out with during fall. So I wished that I had more chances to hang out with my cool cohort members in the fall.

2. Certain classes (Finance, Athletics, etc)
    For various reasons, this year's cohort did not get as many classes to choose from compared to this upcoming year. Regardless, there were definitely some classes that through the word of mouth this year was a enlightening experience. I wished I had shopped around the classes some more and taken a few other classes that would've been extremely helpful in my growth as a higher education professional. Needless to say though, all of the classes that I have taken this year have been awesome, but if I had the chance to take even more classes, I would do so in a heartbeat. (audit, anyone?)

3. Monthly Cohort Outings
     I am pretty close with my cohort and I have done several fun things with everyone at some point, but I felt that we missed out on a monthly cohort outing. I think it depends year by year if there is someone to take on the task of becoming the "social chair" so to speak and plan the weekly or monthly events for the cohort. We sporadically planned weekly happy hours but there was never anything consistent. I wished that there were more times to hang out with this awesome cohort!
