1. How to eat good pizza and drink good beer (for those of age). Krazy Karl's, Cosmos, Odell or New Belgium. The options are endless.

2. What Stalwart means. But wait, do we actually know what it means? Or do we just sing along because it is on the freshman's shirt in front of you.

3. How to conquer wind. At times it's unbearable but we all seem to fight, fight, fight (Go Rams).

4. That awkward moment when you move your chair forward and the random person next to also moves forward. Thanks Clark 101 chairs.

5. How the Yates staircase doubles as the most intense level of stairmaster at the gym. You can get your workout in while headed to your bio lab at the same time.

6. How to successfully navigate not talking to anyone handing out papers on the plaza when you only have 10 minutes to get from the BSB to Rockwell.

7. How to weave through the oncoming traffic. Traffic of bikers, that is. (And how to avoid the bike cops as well).

8.That 'Sko' is not a word. Sorry Buffs, but who are you kidding.

9. That trips to Horsetooth are a weekly necessity whether you're there for relaxation, recreation or just for a spontaneous late night stargazing adventure.

10. How to appreciate the beautiful campus we share, the mountains engulfing our view, and the amazing Colorado sunsets all of which make it hard not to feel happy and privileged every day.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
