As fall semester becomes a frightening reality, my senior year begins. I’m not sure I’m ready to say goodbye to beat the clock, club west or Karma Cream. Actually, sometimes I still think I’m a freshman and try to walk home to Broward. Although seniors are pretty much ancient and struggling to stay relevant, adulthood has not yet dawned. At the risk of sounding like Asher Roth in “I Love College,” here’s a brief, and by no means comprehensive, senior bucket list:
1. Flash someone at midtown
Let’s all reward the tits out for the boys’ cheer one last time. Bonus points if this happens on the balcony at Rowdy during a busy night at midtown.

2. Suck up to your professors
Grad school, professional schools and job applications are about to be submitted. You need those letters of rec, people. Now is not the time to quibble over being a suck up butt. Make the most of those office hours!
3. Eat corn nuggets from The Top once a week
Imagine a world where there are no corn nuggets. Soon you will be living in that world. Yes, it’s a harsh, cold place and you can’t take the corn nuggets with you.

4. Wear crop tops
If you’re like me and the only acceptable form of going out attire is something involving a bare midriff then you have a closet full of crop tops waiting for proper display at midtown. You’ll soon be entering the scary realm of adulthood where half shirts are not acceptable pieces of clothing. Get the most out of your crop tops and high-waisted shorts while you still can.
5. Buy a round of shots for everyone at the bar
I mean how much longer are you going to have access to your parents’ “emergency credit card?”

6. Be mean to lowerclassmen
My favorite thing to do at frat parties these days. Honestly, I don’t care if you’re name is Jon, not Jared. It doesn’t matter, does it? You’re like a sophomore. Do you even go here?
7. Cut the line at Pizza by the Slice
Yeah, so it’s not exactly the most polite thing to do. Who cares? You’re a senior. Tell those with the dirty looks and bad attitudes to take it somewhere else. You basically run this town.
8. Utilize Southwest Rec
You should be going every day, maybe twice a day. You will never again have access to a gym this nice with quality equipment for a very long time. Your post graduation body will thank me.

9. Pregame at Lib West
They don’t call it Club West for nothing. Time to trade in the Starbucks for the flask stashed in your backpack. Midtown’s location is optimal in these situations.
10. Drink cheap alcohol
A day will come when drinking two-dollar wells and pitchers of natty light is frowned upon. Today is not that day. Indulge your wallet and screw your liver. One more dirty Shirley, please, I don’t need to be an adult yet.
