Kicking the Bucket: Senior Bucket Lists from the Class of 2018
Returning to campus as a senior has its ups and downs. On one hand, you have free pick of essentially any class because you can play the “Waaaaah, I’m a senior!!!” card whenever you want. On the other hand, there is a soul-crushing, omnipresent, and impenetrable cloud of existential dread that lingers three inches above your head as you realize your youth is fleeting and that you will soon be one with the worms and weeds. Or...maybe it’s not that serious.But one thing is for sure: senior year is the time to make the most of your last year on College Hill. I checked in with six seniors to see what’s on their Brown Bucket List. To protect the privacy of each respondent, all names have been changed—have fun accusing your friends, though!
