A bucket list is defined as experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime. College is the time for meeting lifelong friends, figuring out your passions, falling in and out of love, making mistakes, and figuring out who you are. With this in mind, I believe the completion of a college bucket list is in order for these four years of adventure. At Miami, there are so many traditions to be made, insiders to have, and opportunities to create memories. It's important we set our goals and make these years some of the best of our lives. With the help from Miami Student body, here is your official bucket list for your four years in this beautiful college town.
- Do the CJs 14 day challenge.
- Shotgun a beer on the roof of an educational building.
- Road trip to the Derby.
- Road trip anywhere. In order to keep your love for Oxford in good condition, sometimes a weekend away is necessary.
- Buy your TA a drink.
- Sleep outside your freshman year dorm the week of graduation.
