You may have just started your final year at University *cries.*
You may have only just begun *cheers.*Or, you may be somewhere in the middle *mixture of two emotions above.*
Whoever you are, you almost certainly need a bucket list for your time at Nottingham. Being the darlings that we are, Her Campus have generously given you a head startâŠ
Â
1.Get a photo in front of the Robin Hood statue.
This is a crucial âmust haveâ photo, almost as important as your graduation picture! Make sure to visit Nottingham castle to snap this memory and get a taste of Nottinghamâs medieval culture.
Â
Â
Â
Â
2. Go to every student night in Nottingham. Whether itâs a Crisis Wednesday, an Ocean Friday or a regrettable Oceana Monday, make sure you visit all of the clubs Nottingham has to offer! If you dare, you may even attempt the dreaded âOcean Shift,â a 9.30-3.30 time lapse which is not for the faint-hearted.
Â
3. Visit the castle during the Robin Hood Pageant. Okay, I get it. Nottingham definitely over-uses the whole Robin Hood thing, but it is pretty cool, right? As part of the October festival, Nottingham Castle hosts a âRobin Hood Pageantâ in which the local community dress up and re-enact the medieval era. Why not pop along to this event?
Â
4.Snap a photo in front of the Nottingham sign on Uni Park Campus â double points if youâre wearing your graduation gown!
Â
5.Attend the 7-legged bar crawl! This night is absolutely legendary and a night that you will never forget (although your memories may be clouded by alcohol!)
Seven friends + fancy dress + legs tied together + alcohol. What could possibly go wrong?
6. Complete one of the food-related challenges at the Rose and Crown.
Try your hand at a super-size food-eating contest. Whether you choose to battle the Fire Extinguisher Hot Wings, the Trash Can Challenge, the 32oz Steak Challenge or traditional Mighty Burger Challenge, anything is a welcome change from pasta and potatoes.
Â
Â
âYou can do it Brucie!â
7.Head down to the Lace Market and pay a visit to Bunk on a Tuesday for Chicken wings and Cocktail deals.
Because, really⊠is there any better pairing than wings and cocktails?I didnât think so!
Â
Â
8. Find the secret door and try the spectacular and science-y cocktails at the Boilermaker in town!
Â
9. Hire a canoe and go boating on Nottingham Lake, (note: try not to fall in!)
Â
Â
10. Have a Halloween house party! Because Students love a bit of fancy dressâŠ
Â
Â
11. Attend the Holi on the Downs festival and take out your passive aggressiveness towards your house mates via powder paint.
Â
Â
12. See a concert at Rock City or Capital FM Arena!
Â
Â
Now that weâve started you off, itâs your turn! And believe me, once you get started on compiling a list, the possibilities are endlessâŠ
