Buried Life... in our terms
So, in lieu of the new hit show that has recently premiered on MTV The Buried Life, we - Magniola and Teni- have been inspired to kind of follow in the same footsteps. You have all heard the saying life is too short to not live it the way you want. We too believe that, but more specifically, we believe that these four years at college are too short to not live the way we want. In high school, there were so many shows that glorified The College Experience. It made high school graduation and freshman orientation seem like they could not come fast enough. Then, when we finally got here, all we were doing was homework, essays, midterms and too many finals. Where was all the fun that they promised us on those TV shows?! Nowhere. You know why? Because we settled and expected too much. In all the sitcoms and programs we watched, those kids made a life for themselves, they made things happen. So now it’s our time. We can not just sit back and wait for the next Frat party to highlight our week, we need to make our own way. Give these remaining years a bit o’ spice because remember, “these four years at college are too short to not live the way we want”
Here below, we started to compile a list of 76! (Yes, as random as it is) things we want to do before we graduate (June 2012). Keep in mind, we are college students with not a lot of funding and not as much transportation as we would like. So read some, do some, and contribute some.
