The Ultimate Syracuse University Bucket List
Syracuse University

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
