As your freshman year at Tulane comes to end, you are probably looking back and realizing that there is so much you have accomplished, but also there are so many things you're dying to do before you go home for the summer. So here are ten things you might not have done, that hopefully you can complete in the last ten weeks of the school-year.
1. Do something crazy!
Go to The Boot in sweatpants, try crawfish, or even alligator.
2. Be creative at Bruff.
Last week I had the revolutionary thought to make a quesadilla -- it was honestly life changing. Making milkshakes, cheese fries, or dessert waffles are also great options.
3. Take a selfie with every cat you see on campus.
Surprisingly, there are many cats just roaming around campus. Whether it be next to Le Gourmet, or behind the ROTC building, cats are everywhere.
4. Take a walk through Audubon Park.
The trees are honestly magical. If you haven't been, the park is just a few steps from Tulane and is a great way to spend an afternoon.
5. Watch the sunset at The Fly.
Bring some friends and a bottle of wine to have the best evening of the semester as you watch the sun set over the Mississippi River.
6. Step outside of your comfort zone.
Do something new with a new friend... you never know what special memories you could make.
7. Make sure everyone on social media knows how much you love Tulane.
Posting pictures of the Mardi Gras Tree, you at the front of campus on St. Charles, or just a picture of you decked out head-to-toe in your Tulane gear, make sure everyone at home and at all other schools are jealous that you live and go to school in the best city in the country.
8. Venture to the new floors of the Library.
Finals will inevitably come. Find a comfy chair with a nice view of campus to study (procrastinate) in.
9. Make plans to keep in touch with your friends.
At some point in the near future, your year as a freshman at Tulane is going to come to a close and you and your friends that you've made are going to have to part ways. This being said, though, make weekly FaceTime dates and make sure to keep in touch... until August!
10. Savor every last minute.
Although there are only ten weeks left, spend them having wine and cheese nights with friends, eating great food, and just soaking in every last bit of New Orleans and Tulane that you can before you go home for the summer.
