Your First-Semester Buff Bucket Game Plan
Your first semester goes fast. Between classes, clubs and figuring out which dining hall is best, it’s easy to look up in December and realize you’ve been going to the same places every weekend. Here’s a simple game plan for checking off ten Buff Bucket items before winter break.
Weeks 1–4: Get your bearings
- Attend Welcome Week and meet people on your floor.
- Join a club. Pick one thing you’ve never tried.
- Tan on Farrand Field while the weather is still warm.
- Go to Cosmo’s Pizza with your roommates.
Weeks 5–10: Go all in on fall
- Watch Ralphie run at Folsom Field. Get there early.
- Throw a game day tailgate before a home game.
- Watch the sunset from Flagstaff Mountain with friends.
- Hike the Flatirons before the snow shows up.
Weeks 11–16: Finish strong
- Host a Friendsgiving before break.
- Sled on the first snow day. It always comes when you least expect it.
