UCLA seniors should get their priorities straight

UCLA seniors should get their priorities straight

Students are already discussing senior portraits, the awful economy, and post-graduation plans, but make your college life a priority before you move on.

 

Before you graduate you must:

 

1. Participate in Undie Run: It's a Bruin rite of passage to get completely hammered and run around nearly naked. Do it.

 

2. Do Dance Marathon: The largest student-run philanthropic event on west coast raises hundreds of thousands to fight pediatric AIDs. Dance for 26 hours, save a few lives... How hard of a decision is that? www.dancemarathon.ucla.edu

 

3. Experience BrewCo Karaoke, Alcapulco's Margarita Monday, Palomino Happy Hour and Maloney's Pint Night. This is needs no explanation. It's called fun.

 

4. Go to Spring Sing: Spring Sing, held in May, is one of the oldest traditions here at UCLA and showcases our amazing talent. Sarah Bareilles, Maroon 5 and Lady Danville all won while they were at UCLA. It's effing amazing.

 

5. Order garlic cheese balls: The infamous garlic cheese balls from Italian Express are the only way to end a drunken night. Get wasted and then call Italian Express, which is open till 4 in the morning. There is no better drunk food. Seriously.

 

6. Actually take advantage of LA museums: Visit the Getty, LACMA, the Hammer, the Fowler, etc. Its a grown-up thing to do and they are all great day places.

 

7. Go to concerts: Go blow your ridiculously tiny stipends on concert tickets at the Greek, the Wiltern, the Troubadour etc. It's totally worth it and make for great memories.

 

8. Do the traditions: Shame on you if you haven't already gotten Diddy Reese, ridden the Bruin Bear, stared up at the Royce Auditorium ceiling, pulled an all-nighter in Powell, hooked up in the Sculpture Garden, slept in the afternoon sun on the lawn, and taken the Big Blue Bus to Santa Monica.
