good morning I had a nightmare about my baby sister getting a hold of a gernade and the pin getting out and I ran outside with it and chucked it into the air (after I was told to do so by some repairman guy) and then in ended in a blue explosion

So that is my night

UChicago Crowdsourced Senior Bucket List

Readers of FYUC - particularly current seniors, recent grads, or alumni! 

I am crowdsourcing a UChicago bucket list of things to do before spring commencement officially launches the Class of 2015 out of the womb of Hyde Park into the harsh reality of adulthood. Thrilling or quotidian, sappy or satirical - what are some memorable activities from your U of C experience that no senior should graduate without doing? 

Here are a few I've brainstormed so far, in no particular order:

Carillon tour of Rockefeller

Scav

Sunrise at the Point, followed by Valois brunch

Go for a day (or more) only on free food

Skating on the Midway

Cry in the Reg

Bar Night

Sneak in to Bartlett

Late-night Hyde Park culinary excursion: Maravillas,  Clarke's, McDonald's walkthrough window, etc

Sled down Mansueto

Navigate the tunnel under the quad

Day-drink at Summer Breeze carnival on the quad

Win pub trivia... or get drunk trying

Stargaze from Ryerson

Visit the OI, Smart Museum, & Court Theater

Figure out where the hell Maclean is

Tipsy MSI Night reception

Kiss by Botany Pond

And then, of course, stepping on the seal as soon as your diploma is in hand!

FYUC is 4 years old today!

Today marks four years of FYUC. From humble beginnings, we now reach 1,500+ followers! It’s been such a cool experience to see our little community grow and evolve. Thank you so much to our readers and mods! You guys keep this thing going. What’s next for FYUC? That depends in part on you! We’ve always said we want this to be a fun, funny, and safe space to ask your questions and encourage dialogue about topics. What do you want to see? More dorm profiles? More city of Chicago events and news? More RSO coverage? (Our trademark snark will still be here.) Interested in becoming a mod? Drop us a line. Looking for current undergrad/grad students and possibly recent alumni. Tell us your name/major/grad year/focus area (UC stuff you know a lot about.) Thanks again and here’s to another year of FYUC goodness! -Ashley

For those of you who have already graduated from UChi, what did you guys major in and what are you up to now??

Check out our new About the Authors page! Mods are still adding their bios. A good chunk of us still live and work in Chicago.

New Mod on the Block

Hey, gang. I'm Megan! Current third year // econ major // ex-pat of Burton-Judson, Chamberlin House // member of UCIB and other business stuff on campus // serial intern // newest FYUC mod. 

Ask me about:

How I met my current roomie via FYUC when I was a prospective student and how I spent three years casually friend-seducing her so she would eventually make me a mod of FYUC... True story.

How hard the econ major ACTUALLY is

Managing work with active RSO commitments

What an RSO even is

Greek/sorority life on campus

Living off-campus, getting downtown, general Chicago stuff

Getting jobz; getting paid

Also you might be interested in some of my past posts about UChicago!

xoxo, Megan
