Pitt Senior Year Bucket List

The essential guide to your last year as a Panther.

It's hard to believe that just three years ago, I began my time as a University of Pittsburgh Panther. I rolled up on Forbes Avenue with my family's Volvo packed to the brim, found a housing cart, and waited as the Arrival Survival team coordinated the towers elevators. I rode the elevator all the way up to tower B floor 19 where I would eventually meet some of my best friends still to this day. Everything was so new and unfamiliar, but now I can't imagine a day where I will not call this city home. This month, I begin my final and senior year at Pitt with this bucket list in hand:

Finishing an entire Sorrento's pizza...alone.

With ranch of course. A personal goal rather than a challenge, because we all know that every pizza can be a personal pizza if you keep your eye on the prize.

Spending a weekend night in Towers lobby.

For old times sake. Those were the best days, strolling in after a night on Neville and seeing everyone with their sacred pizza boxes in hand. If you gave a slice away, you gained instant popularity points.

Sledding in Schenley Park.

I'm talking real deal, with a high quality sled. Not the pizza box I attempted to use freshman year.

Stay for a full football game.

I know it's second nature to ditch after Sweet Caroline but I have faith in us as seniors. It also helps that they sell alcohol throughout the stadium during games now (minor incentive).

Survive for one week solely off of meals taken in Tupperware from Market.

Challenge accepted. Use those freshman swipes to your best advantage.Trust me when I say you can take milk and full loaves of bread out of there.

The Party Pedaler.

Now that I can freely exercise my rights as a 21 year old, I will cruise and booze like nobody's watching through the streets of Pittsburgh.

Climb the Carnegie Dinosaur.

Quite possibly the most epic snapchat you'll get in all four years.

Put a lock on the Schenley Bridge.

If you like it then you shoulda put a lock on it. It's imperative to leave your mark on our precious South Oakland soil.

Scheme your way onto a stranger's house boat.

Those rivers may not be very clean but that's some good clean fun if you ask me.

Get your mug at Hems and join the mug club at Peters.

That's a lot of mug related events.

Start a scrapbook of all the underage bars, so you #NeverForget.

R.I.P. Mi Ranch and most likely AD's in the near future.

Wear Peters horns around and pretend it's your 21st birthday.

Hello free drinks and a popularity boost for the night.

Spend every Thursday night at Hofbrauhaus.

Because, college night and dancing on tables and $6 beers.

Swimming in Frick Fountain.

Mostly for the graduation photo opportunity but also because it's a right of passage as a Pitt student.


Each cross-off from the bucket list, is one step closer to adulting. So drag these moments out as much as possible and make the most of your last year running around the streets of South Oakland. #H2P.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
