Fordham Bucket List: 12 things To Do Over Your Four Years

Most of us are only in college once.

Fordham Bucket List: 12 things To Do Over Your Four Years
Maggie Rosenblatt

During my remaining time at college, I've got quite a few things left on my bucket list to complete. Here are 12 current items on my to-do list at Fordham. Let me know if you have anything to add.

1. Ride the Ram

The most obvious item to add to any Fordham bucket list, riding the ram is practically required to graduate. While some people ride the ram whenever it feels right, I'm waiting for something special.

2. Keating Bell Tower

With many rumors and at least one haunting the Keating Bell Tower is one of the locations that makes almost everyone's bucket list. The real question is, is it worth it to get expelled?


3. Tunnels Under Keating

As a huge part of Fordham's history, its underground tunnels are one of the most notorious places on campus. It's rumored that they can be reached through one of the first floor classrooms in Keating.

4. Tunnels Under Finlay

Although these tunnels are actually connected (Keating was a hospital and Finlay was the morgue), it's way too scary to actually walk all the way through the tunnels. Inhabitants of Finlay have the ability to monitor the door to the tunnels so they can sneak in on the odd chance the door is unlocked.

5. Basement and Rooftop of Loyola

Living in Loyola for the last year, the basement and roof have always been "off-limits" or locked. The basement is one of the more easily accessed places on my bucket list, leaving more to be desired, like the rooftop.

6. Study Abroad

Again, being basic. At some point in my Fordham career I hope to travel abroad, even if it is only a brief summer program. If not just to travel, I'd also like to gain some life experience out of my comfort zone.

7. All of Duane Library

If you haven't been in Duane Library late at night, you should. Even though there are no ghost stories about the building, it's filled with so much history that you can't leave without feeling at least a little spooked. When you have the chance, snoop around a little. You never know what you might find.


8. Sneak through a Window

Kind of a weird addition to the list, but I'm a college kid - if i don't wreck at least a little havoc, then what have I done with my time here?

9. Get an Insta with Fr. McSchane

As the President and a major influencer at Fordham, Father McShane will be making an appearance on my Instagram at some point over the next four years. Hopefully in this process I will also procure some words of wisdom.

10. Make Pugsley's Insta

Another major influencer on campus, Pugsley's Pizza runs an Instagram account that is highly regarded. We get super excited anytime someone we know makes the page.

11. Visit Every Dorm on Campus

Making a friend in every dorm on campus doesn't seem that far off. I plan to see the inside of every dorm on campus before I graduate. Now, how I get in to see them is a different story...

12. Prank Someone

As one of the most fun annual holidays, and such an important college holiday, April Fool's pranks can be super fun if done correctly. I plan to successfully prank at least one of my roommates over the next three years.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
