Gamecocks know how to have a good time. There is always something to do at the University of South Carolina’s campus. Whether it’s student-run events or just passing entertainment, the campus is always poppin’. Challenge yourself to complete this updated bucket list this semester, in the next year, or by the time you graduate. Here’s a health, Carolina, forever to thee!
- Jam out to Wagon Wheel in your car while through the streets of Cola.
- Eno in the Horseshoe.

- Go to T Coop for no reason in the middle of the night with some friends.
- Attend at least one event of every sport.
- Start a USC cheer during a sporting event.
- Survive a Cola natural disaster.

- Show off to all your friends at home your sun-kissed skin courtesy of the famously hot Columbia.
- Be as lit as Gamecock Jesus at a game.

- Check your mailbox in Russell, even if you aren’t expecting anything.
- Send mail to a student’s random mailbox at USC.

- Visit the Christmas tree in the Horseshoe during the holidays.
- Also, stop by the State House to see the Christmas tree.
- Go to Vista Lights to get in the holiday mood.
