As I get another email about registration fast approaching, it dawns on me that junior year is literally right around the corner and that means that senior year isn't so far away anymore. And you know what? That's scary beyond belief. I might sit here applying for internships thinking I'm on the way to becoming an adult, but in all honesty, I'm not ready for what the future holds after college. So in the meantime, I put the future in the back of my mind and focus on what's in front of me — the two glorious years of shenanigans I have left. So what's the best way to best use of my time here? A bucket list. So here's the bucket list thoroughly compiled for anyone who wants to make the most of their time here.

1. Try Dinosaur Bar-B-Q.

2. Be here to celebrate a March Madness title win (totally feasible considering the road to the Final Four looks pretty good, a.k.a., Gonzaga sucks).

3. Attend as many fraternity / sorority formals as possible. (Two in one weekend? Challenge accepted.)

4. Take a successful Castle court Instragram photo, followed by a successful day at Castle (a.k.a., making it to the game after a tailgate).

5. Complete a bar crawl.

6. Utilize the infamous kissing bench.

7. Attend the NY State Fair (trust me on this one, the food is bomb).

8. Sex in a public place, a.k.a., the quad, the dome or the Whitman team rooms.

9. Go to the top of the water tower.

10. Ring the bell on Crouse.

11. Visit the greenhouse in Life Sciences.

12. Snow tube down the hill by the musical school.

13. Eat in every dinning hall / food spot on campus.

14. Get written up (for all you rebels out there).

15. Have dinner at the Chancellor's house.

16. Take a run to South Campus (and back if you're up for the challenge).

17. Get a picture with Boeheim.

18. Drink at every bar on the Hill.

19. Enroll in the Beer and Wine course and / or Human Sexuality.

20. Camp out waiting for tickets to a UU show.

21. Make it on the campus Snapchat story.

22. Attend every home sports game.

23. Know your way successfully around Destiny Mall.

24. Visit the Ithaca Gorges.

25. Attend every Juice Jam and Mayest.

26. Cry at multiple places in public (a.k.a., a cubicle in Bird).

27. Throw an off-campus party.

28. Take a picture with Otto,

29. Go ice-skating at Trinity,

30. Go to Syracuse Parade Day.

31. See a show at Westcott Theater.

32. Take a ride in a DPS car (bonus points if it's with Officer Friendly).

33. Visit every frat house / successfully complete a frat crawl.

34. Successfully steal from the dinning halls (full gallons of milk, ice-cream sandwiches, whatever floats your boat).

35. Watch the sunrise on top of an academic building. (Slocum Hall maybe?)

36. Have a hungover breakfast at Stella's Diner.

37. Hear an original poem from Mickey the Flying Busman.

38. Celebrate Halloween on multiple nights (Halloween weekend obviously).

39. Have baton girl teach you a few moves.

40. Witness a bar fight.

41. Eat at Faculty.

42. Visit the ESF campus (eh debatable).

43. See the puppies on the quad (trust me, that $1 will be worth it).

44. 110 percent bleed orange.

Take them, change them, do what you want with them. Thank you, Syracuse, for making the possibilities endless.

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.
