91 things to do before you graduate



1 Find The Ubyssey office in the basement of the Student Union Building (SUB).
2 Hotbox an elevator in the Rose Garden Parkade and scare Chan Centre patrons as they leave a lovely evening at the theatre.
3 Enter Norm Theatre sober, leave Norm theatre drunk (aka. get fucked up at the feature presentation, or be a sop at the cinema).
4 Climb one of the big blue construction cranes at 3:34am, look death in the face, laugh.
5 Deface the “E” (engineering cairn on Main Mall) with your faculty’s colours.
6 Break into the Botanical Garden.
7 Day of the Longboat: “There are few things better in life than physical exertion in frigid waters while extraordinarily hungover,” were the wise words of my father. It’s a team building experience. Or something like that.
8 Explore the steam tunnels.
9 Do it in the Totem music room—on the piano—’cause your roommate bolted the bedroom door.
10 AgSci Halloween bzzr garden. But don’t ride the bull topless until you’ve had an adequate number of beverages to quell your memory of the shame.
11 Wreck Beach. Studying is sooo much easier without all those restrictive clothes. Added bonus: nekkid people everywhere.
12 Participate in Koerner’s open mic night on a Monday.
13 A night at Tower Beach. War bunkers and starlight and spray paint, oh my.
14 Snowball fight. We don’t like snow that much, but if it’s there, you might as well set up a fortress and launch ice grenades at your mortal enemy (eg. TA). Don’t forget to snag a cafeteria tray and sled down the Knoll, while it’s still around.
15 Got a class near a single-person bathroom? Proposition the classmate you’ve had an eye on all semester.
16 Write or shoot for every student-run print publication on campus.
17 Make an ass of yourself in front of everyone in the room at Karaoke night at the Gallery.
18 No, impress the pants off of every-one in the room at Karaoke night.
19 Jump off the high dive at the Aquatic Centre…in the middle of the night.
20 Skinny dip at Wreck Beach in February, in the middle of the night. Do it drunk, it’s far easier.
21 Play ultimate frisbee on the top of a parkade in the middle of the night, drunk (I hope you’re noticing a common theme).
22 While drunk, take a rock and throw it through a wind…oh crap, did you actually just do that?

47 University is a time for sexual experimentation. Give a blowjob to someone in the Pit on Pit Night. This goes for guys and gals.
48 Change your look from “Just got fucked Brittney wannabe” to “Just got fucked Emily Haines wannabe.”
49 Take a hit of marijuana, freak out, go to the hospital because you think you’re dying, come down, get drunk, take off all your clothes, hit on a lesbian without knowing it, and light your jacket on fire. Yes, that really happened.
50 Sleep through an exam.
51 Drop acid, run from your demons and try to put your finger in a light socket because “that’s where you died.” Yes, that really happened.
52 Make a porno.
53 Star in a porno.
