The Bucket List was not all that great of a movie.

It seems to be the thing to do among seniors about to "kick the bucket" from college. Many houses have put together a list of activities they would like to accomplish before it's too late. Although I do not have a bucket list of my own (yet), I have inadvertently attached myself to 56 Woodland's list by suffering through a 12 egg omelet at Tank's the other day. I did not realize bucket lists would be so painful.

Since everyone else is in the spirit, I thought I would make a bucket list of my own. There are plenty of things that I've been meaning to do or haven't done in awhile. Here is my bucket list complete with a description of why it is on there. Granted, I am going to be here another year, but it's never too soon to get started.

Dan's Bucket List

Walk through the emergency exit at KU

I am going to start off simple. Yes, I may have already walked through the emergency exit plenty of times in the past, but it's been at least two years since the last time. If I am going to feel like I accomplished everything I wanted to while at UD, I will have to walk through those doors one last time. There's nothing quite like being a total rebel and stepping through a door you are only supposed to walk out of if you are on fire.

Eat every sandwich on Artstreet Cafe's menu

In the five minutes it took me to figure out what should be on my list, I could not believe I did not already finish this one. I have become too complacent with my usual favorites that I left out all the rest. This is going to be a challenging goal considering the wide variety of options the Cafe has to offer. In order to properly complete this task, I am going to have to eat every panini, wrap, and breakfast sandwich/burrito. Build your own sandwich does not count. I better get started ASAP!

Get an A in every class

Being an academic institution, I thought it only fair to include an item relating to... academics. This will definitely be the hardest and least important item on the list. I really only put it on to remind me why I am actually at UD. Although obtaining a 4.0 may not be a primary concern of mine, I will try my best to cross this item off my list. This has always been a goal of mine, but something I have not been able to do since leaving grade school. It would be nice to ace all of my classes in a semester at least once in my life.

Lose to Sam in anything

This will prove to be another challenge. I took the liberty of excluding video games because no one cares that you can kill someone in Goldeneye more times than I can, am I right? If I want to cross this one off my list, Sam will have to beat me in a game where you have to physically participate. I was debating keeping this off my list because I fear it is something I will never be able to accomplish. Ever. I threw it on for the hell of it because if I'm going to do a bucket list, I am going to do it right. I'll see what I can do with this one.

Be nice to Jenny

Yet another toughie. Jenny is the root of all evil. Some people believe it's money, but they are dead wrong. Currently, Jenny is away in the heart of Dunlap, Illinois where she will learn to be a good dog. Considering how much effort she is putting into bettering herself, I figured I could return the favor and throw her a compliment or two. I'm sure she would appreciate it if I let her know that she's "hot stuff" every once in awhile or ask her if she's been losing weight. It's only fair to reward her intensive training with the respect she deserves. This goal is pending on how good she will actually be when she returns to Dayton. If she is still a bitch, this item gets nullified.

Purchase a Blend mug

It's something I've been meaning to do for the longest time because I need a good travel mug to keep my coffee in. There have been plenty of times I was going to pick a mug up at Wal-Mart, but I've held off to buy a Blend-only drinking apparatus. This should not pose much of a problem now that I am doing financial work for them.

Go inside every campus building

Even after being here for close to four years, I have still not been in many of the academic buildings on campus. My college career can only come to a close after this happens. If it does not occur after five years of being here, I guess I will have to pick up a new major and continue taking classes.

Kick Jake's ass

As many of you know, I wrestled half of the IT team last semester. Although losing horribly every single time, it's a new year so anything can happen. Beating one of the five techies will be good enough to cross this one off the list, so I pick Jake. Jake is quite the formidable opponent, but it's on my list, so it must be done. I'll take him down by being as swift as the coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon, and with all the strength of a raging fire. That's right, I've been taking fighting lessons by watching Mulan. Jake better watch his back, he won't know what hit him.

Dance with umbrellas for a half hour

Check.

That's where I stand on my bucket list right now. Hopefully some of you will be able to help me finish my list throughout the semester. Who knows, maybe it inspired your own list.

Also, I have added a poll to the right side of the blog, so check that out and vote. Vote or die.
