The Ultimate Plymouth University Bucket List
Ok, so you’re a fresher at Plymouth University ready to escape the house rules and move on to make your own rules, or you’re returning from your break away and you’ve still not seen or done everything you want to do. Well, you’ve come to the right place, I have just the thing for you! To ensure you leave university with no regrets, I have come up with the ultimate Plymouth University bucket list. There are fifteen tasks for you to complete before you start your life in the so called “real world.” After ticking all these tasks off the list, you will definitely leave university with fond memories!
1. Do something for charity.
Whether it be a sponsored run, organising a fundraising event, a jailbreak, get involved with your university’s charities committee and help do your bit. Last year, students at Plymouth University raised £327,849.70 for charity. You can get involved in fundraising by joining RAG (Raise and Give).
2. Prank your housemates.
This is a must! Make a fool out of your housemates, do something to their room whilst they’re away or even block their door so they can’t get out!
3. Get the Freshers’ Flu.
Now, this isn’t something you want to get, but it will happen whilst you’re at university. Otherwise you are definitely not doing something right.

4. Learn to cook.
This is the most valuable life skill you’ll ever need. The odd takeaway is fine of course as we can’t all help our hangovers or when we are super busy loaded up with work. But, you should know what you’re putting in your body and especially healthy foods. You’ll thank me later!
5. Wake up and not know where you are.
A classic student moment that needs to happen to everyone. But hopefully you’re not anywhere too bad when you wake up. No regrets….
6. Watch a whole TV series in one day.
Ok, maybe not Netflix and Chill, but… you will be very capable of watching a whole TV series in one day whilst pigging out on pizza and chocolate. WARNING: Not recommended before a deadline or during exam season!
7. Learn to budget.
Again, this is another life skill you’ll need to master. We know that some of you may not have the best loan in the world but you need to know when you can afford drink, and when you should stay in. We don’t want to go and ask mummy and daddy now do we?
8. Make the most out of your NUS.
You’ve only got a few years’ worth of student discounts, so make the most of it and use them while you can!!
9. Make your own alcohol.
We all know the Tipsy Bartender right?! Well, why not make your own alcohol for your pre drinks before you go out or at your house/flat parties? It’s all cheap ingredients, but the taste is awesome and bound to make your night amazing!
10. Try something new.
Whether it be a new club, pub, restaurant, new language, sports or society club, take advantage of these and try something new! The choices here are endless!
11. Break a bone and spend time in A&E.
From experience… consume lots of alcohol at pre drinks, make it to the first club and fall over… throw up in the taxi, throw up in the hospital and fall asleep in A&E at 1am for 3 hours until you get called in! Definitely something I wouldn’t recommend but maybe brake a smaller bone… What happens at Plymouth University, stays in Plymouth University as they say! It is good fun though, spending hours in A&E sobering up with a good bunch of friends! It’s all part of growing up eh??
12. Do the dreaded walk of shame.
Oh? You thought I meant one night stand? Dirty dishes sitting in your room more like! Once you’ve settled in you’ll realise the dishes pile up in your room and you have to walk all the way down the corridor of your halls embarrassed of what you’re bringing into the kitchen. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN… AVOID EYE CONTACT!
13. Go to your lecture in something very different.
Well you’ve escaped from your parents and you’ve also escaped the rules of school uniform and formal attire. So why not wear pyjamas in public, or turn up in the clothes you wore the night before all hungover? Who cares if you wake up five minutes before your lecture in your onesie? At least you’ve attended the lecture right?
14. Do a dissertation.
You’ll hate it, but it is definitely going to be a great feeling when it’s over. Just work hard, do as much research as possible but still have a good time with your mates! You’ll be surprised how many of your friends will give you all that love and support!

15. Get a degree!
Don’t forget that you’re paying a lot of money to go to university! So, don’t waste it, make sure you come out of it with the degree you want so make sure you’ve chosen the degree that’s right for you.
