Less than 3 months from now I will no longer be a freshman. I am still in denial about how quickly this year has gone. Although it’s not over yet I have created a list of 15 things you have to do before your freshman year comes to a close. Many of these are do-able at every college but some are specific to the best university ever created (it’s Iowa if you didn’t know).

1. Tailgating
2. Go to a game at Kinnick
3. Eat at both Burge and Hillcrest
4. Have an all-nighter during midterms or finals
5. Go to Java House
6. Get a photo with Herky
7. Go to kick-off @ Kinnick
8. Take at least 1 class that isn’t required for your major
9. Go to a $3 CAB movie
10. Order pizza at 2am (Gumby’s or Mesa counts and is preferred)
11. Cry over the cost of books at least once
12. Touch the brain rock before an exam
13. Shop local downtown
14. Go to the museum at MacBride
15. Wear pajamas to class or the dining hall

Until Next Time…

Go Hawks!
