Most of us are only in college once.

Fordham Bucket List: 12 things To Do Over Your Four Years
Maggie Rosenblatt

During my remaining time at college, I've got quite a few things left on my bucket list to complete. Here are 12 current items on my to-do list at Fordham. Let me know if you have anything to add.

1. Ride the Ram

The most obvious item to add to any Fordham bucket list, riding the ram is practically required to graduate. While some people ride the ram whenever it feels right, I'm waiting for something special.

2. Keating Bell Tower

With many rumors and at least one haunting the Keating Bell Tower is one of the locations that makes almost everyone's bucket list. The real question is, is it worth it to get expelled?


3. Tunnels Under Keating

As a huge part of Fordham's history, its underground tunnels are one of the most notorious places on campus. It's rumored that they can be reached through one of the first floor classrooms in Keating.

4. Tunnels Under Finlay

Although these tunnels are actually connected (Keating was a hospital and Finlay was the morgue), it's way too scary to actually walk all the way through the tunnels. Inhabitants of Finlay have the ability to monitor the door to the tunnels so they can sneak in on the odd chance the door is unlocked.

5. Basement and Rooftop of Loyola

Living in Loyola for the last year, the basement and roof have always been "off-limits" or locked. The basement is one of the more easily accessed places on my bucket list, leaving more to be desired, like the rooftop.

6. Study Abroad

Again, being basic. At some point in my Fordham career I hope to travel abroad, even if it is only a brief summer program. If not just to travel, I'd also like to gain some life experience out of my comfort zone.

7. All of Duane Library

If you haven't been in Duane Library late at night, you should. Even though there are no ghost stories about the building, it's filled with so much history that you can't leave without feeling at least a little spooked. When you have the chance, snoop around a little. You never know what you might find.


8. Sneak through a Window

Kind of a weird addition to the list, but I'm a college kid - if i don't wreck at least a little havoc, then what have I done with my time here?

9. Get an Insta with Fr. McSchane

As the President and a major influencer at Fordham, Father McShane will be making an appearance on my Instagram at some point over the next four years. Hopefully in this process I will also procure some words of wisdom.

10. Make Pugsley's Insta

Another major influencer on campus, Pugsley's Pizza runs an Instagram account that is highly regarded. We get super excited anytime someone we know makes the page.

11. Visit Every Dorm on Campus

Making a friend in every dorm on campus doesn't seem that far off. I plan to see the inside of every dorm on campus before I graduate. Now, how I get in to see them is a different story...

12. Prank Someone

As one of the most fun annual holidays, and such an important college holiday, April Fool's pranks can be super fun if done correctly. I plan to successfully prank at least one of my roommates over the next three years.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
