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.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
