Soton Student BUCKET LIST

If you’re a baby-faced fresher, chances are high that you have a list of things that you would like to do before you finish First Year. For those looking for some fun and excitement whilst constantly questioning why they thought doing a degree was actually a good idea, we’ve compiled a list of 25 things to do before the year is out. Some of these will be memories for life…

1. Crowd surf at Jesters
2. Chunder absolutely everywhere in a lecture the morning after
3. Have a BBQ on Southampton Common
4. Walk along the old town wall from the city centre to the seafront
5. Sneak food into Level 5 in the library
6. Throw up on a bouncer just to see what happens
7. Try to be a BNOC by attending four different “prinks” every night
8. Say “prinks” and hate yourself more every single time
9. Never confront someone in your flat/house but just take the moral high ground and sly-tweet about them instead
10. “You only need 40% to pass. Pub?”
11. “There was reading for this seminar!?”
12. Realise that you’re shit at your degree, give up on life and just smoke weed all day
13. Have vodka and coke for dinner to save money
14. Learn the meaning of slang words such as “sick” and “fam” so that you can actually talk to somebody from London
15. Spend 200 euros and go to Amsterdam; get waved, look at prostitutes, go to a zoo
16. Price compare between Aldi and Lidl to make sure that you’re not being ripped off
17. Go to the New Forest. It’s really nice there. Unlike Southampton
18. Only ever talk about yourself to other people
19. Queue for seven hours to get a free slice of pizza at the Bunfight
20. If you don’t have at least 20 people on the backseat of the bus at some point during Freshers, your friendship group has failed
21. Smoke a joint outside your halls and make sure that everyone who walks by knows that it’s a joint by explaining that you’re smoking a joint at university because NOBODY HAS EVER DONE THAT BEFORE. Remember to say that it’s a joint otherwise they won’t be impressed by the joint. They can probably smell the joint but just make sure they know about the joint and that you are smoking it.
22. Dedicate between two to three minutes a day to reading about the Israel-Gaza conflict and retweeting Frankie Boyle. Maybe go to an Amnesty meeting to show that you really care. Or refuse to buy an apple
23. Don’t live in Bencraft but still complain that you live in the worst halls no matter how many funeral processions you hear about
24. Get elected for the JCR and actually do something
25. See the University ducks, in summer there are ducklings too.
