Well here we are. Only three months left at the University of Oregon. Then, graduation! Four years ago, this seemed like a million miles away, but here we are.

What’s left on the old bucket list? Let’s run the tally. That’s only 11 more DJ nights at Max’s, one more spring football game, 10 weeks left to see your favorite professors and countless sunny days on the quad.

In the rearview mirror? Countless sporting events, drives up to Sasquatch, all-nighters in a library with very few windows, ASUO drama (again and again and again).

I know, I know — that’s a downer of a list. These aren’t the things we want to remember our college years by, and there is still so much to do in an incredibly short period of time. Spring term is everyone’s favorite, and now is the time to make the most of those final memories. Here’s what should be on everyone’s bucket list:

1. Convert calories to memories. Visit Papa’s Soul Food Kitchen and BBQ at least 30 more times. That mac & cheese is seriously unforgettable.

2. Soak up some more sunny afternoons on Taylor’s porch.

3. Take in at least one more show at W.O.W. Hall or McDonald Theatre. E-40 is coming to W.O.W. Hall on May 12 and SOJA will be at McDonald on April 11.

4. Visit Sweet Cheeks Winery one more time. Twilight Tastings every Friday and Mimosa Sundays!

5. Paddle board down the Willamette River.

6. One last cheesy griller…or two…or seven. (See No. 10)

7. Buy a joke book from Frog.

8. Swim in the Jaqua. Pee in the Jaqua. Because why not?

9. Drink a cold one at the top of Spencer Butte.

10. Run, walk or crawl a 5K, half marathon or marathon in the Eugene Marathon.

11. Spend a few Saturdays swimming at Wildwood Falls.

12. Grab picnic chairs some evening and watch the swifts swirl into the Agate Hall Chimney.

13. Attend the ASUO debate. It’s the last one you’ll ever have to endure and it’s bound to be hilariously awkward.

14. Attend the Campus Block Party.

15. Sing “Sweet Caroline” at the top of our lungs about 20 more times.

This list isn’t extensive. Invent your own. There are endless opportunities for fun in Eugene. Spring term is the best term for a reason. The sun is out, most of us don’t have to take a ton of credits and it is the last time in our lives where wearing leggings and last night’s makeup to class/work is socially acceptable. The end of this trail is only another beginning.
