Seniors, the time is now. Do you want to leave college with regrets? Have you ignored every major New York landmark over these past four years in order to seem like a more “authentic New Yorker?” Do you want to tell your grandkids, “no, no, unfortunately your grammy never did sleep with that T.A.?” Are you hungry for exploration? Do you really need to spend another weekend inside binge-watching House of Cards on Netflix? This is the time to strike. This is the time to be bold and chug that last Brad’s finney. School spirit, something, something.
The seniors of NYU Local have put together the ultimate bucket list for NYU’s class of 2013. Most of us have spent the last four years under our covers blogging in front of the soft glow of our warm laptops — it’s time we got out out the house. We’re going to try to do all of these items by graduation on May 22nd, but we’re not making any promises to finish. Excuse our millennial doubt, but does anyone actually ever accomplish what they want to do in their lives before they die? Whatever, meet us at the Staten Island ferry and don’t be late.
