Every semester my roommates and I drunkenly sit around and make a bucket list. We cross a few things off and then forget about it. Occasionally mid semester we go back and add to it but have yet to check the entire thing off. I remember sitting in Lawrence dining hall making our freshman year list, and fast forward 3 short years, we’re seniors who are not at all prepared for the real world. 4 weeks into senior year and it has already been one for the books. Here's a list of must do's before we graduate from this fabulous place that is, West Chester University!
- Make it up the stairs of Main Hall without being out of breath.
To be honest I doubt I’ll ever check this off.
- Be on a first name basis with Dwayne from Jake’s.
If you’re lucky he’ll take pics for you. Or even better, with you.
- Go swimming in the Court House fountain on your way home from the bars.
And not get arrested for it.
- Wake up in the dorms.
Because they now have yoga studios and flat screens, duh.
- Force random freshman to swipe you into Lawrence.
Check this off your list more than a few times, because Lawrence rules.
Don’t roll over and go back to bed when you get that glorious text, HUSTLE FOR THAT TABLE!
- Get a Banana Day shirt.
Also, figure out wtf Banana Day actually is.
- Have a cameo on WCU Weekly.
I honestly have no idea how I’ve made it 3 years without being asked for an interview, like hello I’m funny!!!!!!!
- Bar crawl to every bar in one day.
I know we attempt this every weekend, but personally I usually pass out after 3….
- Walk directly across the grass of the new quad because you don’t feel like dealing with the crowded walkways.
Because let’s be honest the new quad is stupid.
- Do the Gordo challenge at Burrito Loco.
At least attempt it, bonus points to your list if you get your picture on the wall.
- Eat at every restaurant in town.
Accomplish this when your parents come to visit… because then they’re paying.
- Master the South Campus bus system.
When you need to go to the Health Science center, you end up in The Village. And when you need to go to The Village, sorry this bus only goes to the science center.
- Eat a hot dog at Jake's.
I've never actually seen one of these in person, so they may in fact be a myth.
- Show up at your freshman dorm room and demand the occupants let you in.
Killinger 204, I'm coming for you.
- Get on Culinary Deliveries instagram.
You're a nobody until Ed tweets at you!
- Go drunk to class.
Maybe even bring a roadie to crack open during.
- Enjoy every single moment.
Live it up here while you can, because I'm told being a real person isn't too much fun.
