Make sure you do all these things before you graduate

Before leaving Aber for the final time, be sure you’ve completed the ultimate bucket list.

We’re at the point where final years are packing up their bags ready to leave for good, making way for the next set of freshers to arrive. It’s in these last few weeks you should enjoy your last slice of freedom before being released into the big wide world.

The sunset photo

It’s common knowledge we get to experience some of the most spectacular sunsets around, so make sure you get down to the beach to snap a pic. You’ll be uploading it to Instagram with a soppy hashtag, and you know it’s going to be your cover photo: a trick guaranteed to make all your friends back home jealous.

Beach bonfire and BBQ

As the university year is coming to an end and summer is approaching, what better way to entertain yourself through those long days of nothing-ness than a barbecue at the beach. Grab a crate of beer, an instant barbecue and round up some friends to soak up some of the sun. What could be better?

Pub golf 

It’s not like students needed any excuse to get boozy and have one more drink than necessary, but there’s nothing better than a nice round of pub golf. Aberystwyth has more than its fair share of pubs, so what a perfect opportunity to get dressed up in the finest golf attire (inflatable golf clubs, visors, gloves, the whole shebang), start early and hit the pubs.

Make up some scorecards and get ready to attempt the nine holes, or even 18 if you’re feeling really brave. A guaranteed good night, enjoy.

Death Star

 Let’s face it, this drink has pretty much become a local legend. Cambrian Hotel is a definite port of call on any night out, £8.50 for two pints and it’s guaranteed to get your night off to a good start.

Pier smoking area

Everyone can admit to Pier Pressure being somewhat of a guilty pleasure, but even the most avid Pier-goers need to take a break every now and again from the hot, clammy writhing students pressed so closely together. You’re definitely not an Aber student unless you’ve risked being blown into the middle of next year while trying to escape S Club 7 or The Cha Cha Slide in the smoking area. Enter at your own risk.

It just gets so hot

A Lip Lickin’ feast

Do you mean to tell us you’ve never woken up with a face covered in garlic mayo next to an half eaten box of Lip Lickin’? Surely we’ve all been there, oh the regret… But in case you’ve not, just beware of the smell in the morning. It’s somewhat of an acquired taste.

Walk up Consti’

What better way to sweat out a hangover and get some fresh air than a stroll up Constitution Hill. It looks out over the whole of Aberystwyth, and the view definitely makes the walk worth it. If you’re really not feeling up to the task you could always take the cliff railway, hun.
