After all, tomorrow is another day.
Posted by Josh G. on January 15, 2011We all know what we want to accomplish in life. We all have hopes, dreams, goals. Fairly recently, the idea of a Bucket List has become a way to neatly set out our goals an accomplish them. But rather than tell you what I want to accomplish – which at this point might just make me depressed or frantic to try and complete it in the next few months – I decided I’d give you a more universal Hopkins Anti-Bucket List.
Anti-Bucket List – The things you should try to not do in your four years here.
- Die
- Get pregnant
- Fail out Gain the Freshmen 15
- Skip class for a full week
- Take classes only in one area
- Try to actually join the 30 groups you sign up for at the SAC Fair

- Wait until you have no underwear left to do laundry
- Have a hangover the day before an exam
- Make a name for yourself as the person who sleeps around
- Make a name for yourself as the person who has a very strange characteristic (Crazy Legs, Duct Tape Girl, Awkward Jeremy)
- Eat at the FFC every day
- Pet an animal at the petting zoo during Spring Fair
- Become addicted to caffeine (or anything really)
- Spend your rent money in one weekend on food and drink at Spring Fair
- Become obsessed with getting perfect grades
- Set off the fire alarm while cooking in Charles Commons (harder than it seems)
- Take a 400 level class in a subject you have never studied before
- Take 20+ credits
- Take a Friday morning class
- Slip on the marble after snow/rain
- Get hit by a biker
- Make eye contact with the evil squirrels
- Use up your dining dollars within the first month as a freshman
- Have $500 dining dollars left the last week of classes as a sophomore
- Doing almost anything you see college students do in the movies or on TV
What is on your Anti-Bucket List?

THIS IS AMAZING. I love it.
What’s wrong with “[petting] an animal at the petting zoo during Spring Fair”?!? Sometimes, everyone wants a little cuddle. :)
I also think it’s nearly impossible not to slip on the wet marble *at least* once.
