What’s on your bucket list?
Window on Wake Forest asked seniors what was on their “Bucket List,” the things they wanted to do before they graduated.
Lauren Hubbard
Hometown: Social Circle, Georgia
Major: Communication
Plans after graduation: Wake Forest Fellow in the Advancement Office
Bucket List:
- Visit Old Campus and eat a hot dog at the original Shorty’s.
- Walk over to Reynolda House — often. Visit the gardens, hang out on the lawn, run the trails, check out the art, tour the house, go to events. It’s all fun and free for students.
- Road trip at least once with a group of friends to a Wake Forest away game.
- Sign your name at the top of the bell tower.
- Go to the Lovefeast. Seeing the chapel full of candles is the perfect holiday tradition.
- Participate in Wake Forest traditions — from rolling the Quad, to knowing the words to the fight song.
- Meet Dr. Ed Wilson and read Jenny Puckett’s Last Lecture speech online.
- Find a favorite professor/mentor. Visit with, and thank, them often.
- Storm the field and rush the court (and take pictures while doing both.)
- Play in the sprinklers on the Quad on a spring/summer night.
