Bucket List

As most of you know, this is my senior year at Purdue. It is crazy to think how fast the time as has gone here. This thought really occurred earlier this week as I was singing up to graduate. It is so weird for me to think that I am graduating college in six months. I reminisced in an email to my parents about it. A part of me says  "Already?"  In a way, it feels like I should still have another year left.  Just enough time to go out to eat at A&W with the guys, go play some campus golf,  more trips to the den, or a fountain run, another amazing spring break with the best guys. But this is it. 

But at the same time, a part of me says "Its about time!" I have put in my fair share of late nights, early mornings, and long hours in the library. I have sweat enough walking to class in the summer and have trudged through enough snow in the winter. I have had enough 7:30 classes and enough final exams on a Saturday. Ive gone to my football and basketball games and have had enough great lunches at Triple XXX and probably way too many Den pops. Yep, Ive served my time Purdue.

Time sure have changed in my four years...a lot of the good times of the past are no more. A&W went out of business last year, the days of mission trips and trips to Tennessee and Florida are past.  A lot of the guys I started with here at Purdue, who made such an impact on me, are either graduated or married. I guess a lot has happened in four years.

But enough of the teary eyed moments: since my time at Purdue is coming to a rapid end, here is the start of my bucket list for my senior year. (some are easily accomplishable)

BUCKET LIST

Fountain Run
Sled on Slayter Hill
Eat at Triple XXX before class

Eat at a Dining Court
Make an awesome video
Get a Milkshake at Pappy's Sweet Shop
Watch the sunset/rise from Slayter Hill

Get a job.



Now for you Boilermaker grads, I would love some input on what else I should include on my Bucket List. Or anybody for that matter, as you can see, it is not a very big list.

On Friday, May 11, 2012, I will say goodbye to the great times, fond memories, and stressful nights at Purdue. I will have to pack up 4 years of memories into the Aztek, hoping it will all fit with my diploma. Until then, I have work to do. Too many papers, too many exams, too many lesson plan.
