If you’re a baby-faced fresher, chances are high that you have a list of things that you would like to do before you finish First Year. For those looking for some fun and excitement whilst constantly questioning why they thought doing a degree was actually a good idea, we’ve compiled a list of 25 things to do before the year is out. Some of these will be memories for life…
- Crowd surf at Jesters
- Chunder absolutely everywhere in a lecture the morning after
- Have a BBQ on Southampton Common
- Walk along the old town wall from the city centre to the seafront
- Sneak food into Level 5 in the library
- Throw up on a bouncer just to see what happens
- Try to be a BNOC by attending four different “prinks” every night
- Say “prinks” and hate yourself more every single time
- Never confront someone in your flat/house but just take the moral high ground and sly-tweet about them instead
- “You only need 40% to pass. Pub?”
- “There was reading for this seminar!?”
- Realise that you’re shit at your degree, give up on life and just smoke weed all day
- Have vodka and coke for dinner to save money
- Learn the meaning of slang words such as “sick” and “fam” so that you can actually talk to somebody from London
- Spend 200 euros and go to Amsterdam; get waved, look at prostitutes, go to a zoo
- Price compare between Aldi and Lidl to make sure that you’re not being ripped off
- Go to the New Forest. It’s really nice there. Unlike Southampton
- Only ever talk about yourself to other people
- Queue for seven hours to get a free slice of pizza at the Bunfight
- If you don’t have at least 20 people on the backseat of the bus at some point during Freshers, your friendship group has failed
- Smoke a joint outside your halls and make sure that everyone who walks by knows that it’s a joint by explaining that you’re smoking a joint at university because NOBODY HAS EVER DONE THAT BEFORE. Remember to say that it’s a joint otherwise they won’t be impressed by the joint. They can probably smell the joint but just make sure they know about the joint and that you are smoking it.
- Dedicate between two to three minutes a day to reading about the Israel-Gaza conflict and retweeting Frankie Boyle. Maybe go to an Amnesty meeting to show that you really care. Or refuse to buy an apple
- Don’t live in Bencraft but still complain that you live in the worst halls no matter how many funeral processions you hear about
- Get elected for the JCR and actually do something
- See the University ducks, in summer there are ducklings too.
