For those of you who have been following me for a while now, the fact that I’m old, gray, and slowly decaying is of no news to you. But alas, it’s true. I’m a senior. (The horror!)
Admittedly, I didn’t believe people when they told me time would fly during college. I assumed, like high school, that when the time came to be a senior, deep down I’d be ready for it. Now here I am, crying at every little last thing. My last first day of school. My last first time doing sorority recruitment. My last soccer tryouts. And it’s only been a week! I can’t fathom the mess I’ll be at graduation. And I know it’s a privilege to be sad, to have known the wonder of something and feel the pain of losing it. I’m just not ready to be sad yet.
Not to be dramatic, but it’s my goal to make the absolute most of my last year at TCU. I want to remember everything, to create moments that live in my mind forever. So, my friends and I have decided to embark on the oldest and most faithful of traditions: the bucket list. I’ve shared the safe-for-work rendition of our list below in case you and your friends need inspiration…
Here are a few of the things we want to do before we graduate in 2025:
- Host a movie night in Milton Daniel Hall (our first-year dorm)
- Try one new restaurant in Fort Worth every monthÂ
- Go to an away TCU football game
- Jump in Frog Fountain (if you know you know)
- Watch the sunset (and the sunrise) in the Carter
- Host a tailgate
- Get on the jumbotronÂ
- Vacation at a lake house
- Do a spring break trip together
- Try out the new dining hall on campus
- Watch the cattle run in The StockyardsÂ
- See a concert in DallasÂ
- Climb the TCU Rec rock wallÂ
- Host a theme partyÂ
- Win one of the big giveaways at the football games
Here’s to the start of senior year, and the beginning of the end of college. Enjoy it.
