This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Emerson chapter.
As midterms approach, you might be finding that there are several things that you want to do before the end of the year. If you’re new to Emerson, you may be missing out on the plethora of activities our school has to offer. Fear not! I have compiled a bucket list of the most essential things to do before you graduate. For those of you unfamiliar with this term, a bucket list is your life goals compiled into a neat checklist- everything you want to do before you “kick the bucket.” My personal bucket list has things ranging from “Kiss at the top of Eiffel Tower” to “Party with Ke$ha.” Feel free to add your own ideas to the list – what should you not leave Emerson without doing?
- Spend the last of your board bucks on a feast from the C-store.
- Pull an all-nighter in your common room.
- Dine at the Top of the Hub (or at least check out the view!)
- Find a Banksy wall in Boston!
- Watch a Quidditch game in the Boston Common.
- Join your friends for Sunday brunch in the DH.
- Be on Emerson Channel, EIV, or WEBN.
- Shop at the Bargain Basement in Harvard Square’s Urban Outfitters.
- Walk down Newbury Street in the snow.
