Good Afternoon Sexy Readers,

With graduation coming up soon for many of the fourth years, it gets one to thinking about their time here and how much they have changed. Our younger selves often had hopes and dreams completely different than what we have now. Their worries and cares were different. Their ambitions and expectations were not what they are now. The experience they were expecting might not be the same as what they got. I know that I had a lot of things that I was expecting to do, see and hear when I got here, I never wrote it down, and in hindsight it seems like that would have been a good idea to ensure that I got myself a true university experience. Often times this is called a ‘bucket list’ but is that really a good descriptor for someone who isn’t about to kick the bucket? Why isn’t it called a Before I Graduate List? A BIG List, and that’s what it can be if you have enough time to fill it. But what would you put on it? Here’s a few things I think you might find good to put on yours.

Cook your own food.

Go to a Party

Skydive

Climb a mountain

Skip class

If you like the way these sound, maybe you should cut this out and take it with you. Cross out each thing that you want to do before you get out of this place. Or write your own and keep it in your back pocket. Before you get ‘too old’ (though that can’t ever really happen) try to get through at least 90% of it. I promise you’ll be a more worldly (though maybe not improved) person for it.

Until Next Time,

Stay Sexy.
