22 Activities For The Auburn Student Who Never Knows What To Do

auburn.edu

New year, same school right? Everyone knows that Auburn University is the loveliest village on the plains, but sometimes it's hard to decide what to do on a daily basis. Here are a few ideas...

1. Have a picnic on Samford lawn or throw the frisbee around in front of the most iconic Auburn building

You know you've always secretly wanted to do this. You see random people doing it all the time and it just looks so... Auburn.

2. Go hike at Chewacla

It's super cheap. It's super fun. It's a place to think and explore and see some ~NEATure~

3. Climb the fire tower in Tuskegee

Kind of dangerous. Kind of hard to find. But so so so so fun if you go with a group of friends.

4. Go on a bike ride on the Auburn bikes

They're free, and it's an easy way to get from one place to another looking v Auburn.

5. Try and attend a game/match/meet for every winter/spring Auburn team

I know we love our football, but people, gymnastics, track and field, tennis, softball, baseball, swimming and diving, equestrian, basketball and golf all have events going on between now and when school gets out for summer. Let's show some school pride!!! War Eagle!!!

6. Eat at every single Mexican restaurant in the Auburn/Opelika area

There has to be at least 10, right?

7. Buy an ice cream sandwich at Toomer's

8. Go bowling

9. Go skating

10. Spend sunset at the Red Barn

11. Go see a new movie

12. Shop downtown

13. Find a way to get to the Eagle's Nest on top of Haley

14. Actually talk to someone who is passing stuff out on the concourse

15. Ride around in your car with a group of friends and yell "Kiss her!!!!" at random couples walking home from downtown

16. Go to a UPC open mic night

17. Become an Über driver

18. Apply and get involved with an organization on campus

19. Dance with the sweet lady who plays music at the front of the Chick-fil-A line

20. Climb Foy

21. Yell "War Eagle!" at a tour of potential students

22. Spend more time studying this semester than you did last semester

See how many you can do before school get's out for the summer!! War Eagle!!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
