The other day in class Drew made the comment, "I have 36 days to get my whole life together." 36 days is roughly a single month of my 960 month life. Therefore, not very much time to gather my maturity and face the intimidating real world lying in front of me. As a nearing-the-end senior, I pray my "Wittenberg bubble" won't ever pop.
While classmates are figuring out future plans, most are still trying to cram in the last bit of fun of their college experience. That is where the bucket list comes in. A bucket list is normally a list of things you would like to accomplish before you die, or "kick the bucket." However, for college students the bucket list consists of activities they would like to do before they graduate. At Wittenberg we have so many traditions that what ends up on the list seems very alien to an outsider. Here is the break down of a few:
- Streak the Hollow - The act of getting naked, alone or with company, and running the length of the land from Myers to Recitation Hall. You must touch the doors of Recitation to actually complete the task.
- Completing the Circuit - This is for the buff's of streaking (no pun intended). Once you have completed the elementary task of streaking the hollow, you continue your path from the hollow, through Hollenbeck Hall, and straight to the turf (many students, including athletes, take a break outside the natatorium). The trick is not to get caught!
- The Gauntlet - This is for the brave few. You must drink one of every beer on tap at Station one totaling 36 pints of beer. I only know of two fellows to complete this task and they said, "it is a marathon, not a race."
So before you graduate, think about letting loose for awhile. If you haven't done the first two they are a MUST.
