22 Things To Do Before Graduating From Towson University

The Ultimate Towson Bucket List

Many people will tell you throughout your undergraduate career that college is “the best four years of your life” if you play your cards right. Whether it’s reminiscing on our craziest nights uptown or the day we met the friends who will make up our bridal parties, we all want to look back years from now knowing we truly got the most from our time as Tigers.

Campus construction and the pasta line in Ptux may never come to an end, but our time at Towson, where our every wish is granted with the swipe of our One Cards, eventually will. As a rising (and nostalgic) senior, I’m beginning to realize that although my college experience has been meaningful, there are still so many things I hope to do before leaving my home away from home.

People from all over the world have created “bucket lists” of things they want to do before death or reaching major life milestones. With the exception of our beloved super-seniors who are clueless as to when college will be coming to an end, our “best years” will pass us by in the blink of an eye, if we are not careful. Although other colleges have created general bucket lists for undergrads, it’s time our Towson students had a guide to follow in order leave TigerTown with "no ragrets" as Scotty P would put it.

(If you run into any trouble while completing this checklist, it's totally on you).

1. Ride the Tiger statue after a night out with your friends and take a picture.

2. Now take the picture when you’re sober so your parents don't feel like they're wasting their money.

3. Eat at every Towson dining hall, even the hard to find spots like in the Admissions building.

4. Order a crab pretzel and a Natty Boh from Bill Bateman’s happy hour to show your Maryland pride.

5. Dance on the Dickey’s ledge .

6. Pull an all-nighter at Club Cook during finals week (you’ll be surprised by how much free food you get).

7. Attempt to beat the plate record at Kyodai Rotating Sushi bar.

8. Sign up for fraternity or sorority recruitment. Even if you don’t think it’s you’re thing, you might be surprised by the people you meet!

9. Skip a class to track down the free Ritas on campus.

10. Fight the crowds at THB for that breakfast sandwich after a rough night out.

11. Make friends with a Jimmy’s Cab driver. Whether you like it or not, they’re the closest thing to a responsible guardian you will find on a weekend night.

12. School the Paws regulars in ping pong and pool.

13. Eat at Miss Shirley's at least once.

14. Order an Irish Car Bomb at Kent House and (attempt) to take it like a champ.

15. Sneak into the DJ booth and drop a sick beat at Torrent .

16. Play an intramural sport even if you suck.

17. Order food at The Real Thing and play throwbacks on the juke box.

18. Find your lifelong friends and cut out the cancers in your life.

19. Go to as many Towson sporting events as possible and actually stay the whole time.

20. Visit your friends’ hometowns.

21. Order a hot dog and play with the pup on the corner of York and Pennsylvania Avenue on your way home from the bars.

22. Pop champagne at your favorite spot on campus on graduation day.

This is simply a guideline for you to follow when carrying out the remainder of your college career at Towson. Everyone at TU has different interests and priorities, so take some time this summer to think about how you'll make your mark and build lasting memories you'll someday share with you children and grandchildren.

When I now look at the people who still live in the glory days of college, I wonder if they walked away from their alma mater wishing they had done more. Towson has a great deal to offer its students, so don't let your time at Towson be anything less than remarkable — use this opportunity to make them "the best years of your life."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
