101 Things to do in UCC before you Graduate!

deisedude

This seems like a relatively simple idea for a thread so naturally i'm sure i blatantly robbed it from somewhere!:D

I'll just set a few groundrules first and hopefully KnifeWrench won't unleash the banhammer on me for backseat modding!:pac:

• One suggestion per post
• Please number your contribution. E.g If the last post was #5 you number yours #6.
• You can't make 2 posts in a row. Once someone else makes a suggestion after yours you are welcome to add to the thread again.
• Chat with other boardsies is fine but every post must have one contribution to the 101 things.

Ok to get the ball rolling
1) Talk to classmates at class parties who you have never talked to before or are likely to do again!

They've been saying that for at least the past six years. I've even got e-mails from the admin of the list saying he'd send no more general discussion all student e-mails unless it concerned the student body over something specific. Then he let through the entire argument that that e-mail generated.

20) (Or 19, Eliot needs to learn how to count. ) - Jump from the top of the geograhpy/geology lecture hall, and try to make the bottom.

You'll probably break your legs, but there's no harm in trying.

But that wouldn't have gotten through last year either, or ever. It proves nothing.

I knew someone would say that, but I was actually referring to the person who posted a second "15", and so I upped it 1 to compensate.
