Stuff Students Should Do Before Graduating

  1. Have lunch or play soccer with students from the CDE. Meet people from the countries you're studying. Many of them will become prime ministers/finance ministers of their countries. (e.g. Goh Chok Tong of Singapore)
  2. Take a picture of a nebula or galaxy at the observatory.
  3. Hike up Stony Ledge on Mountain Day. Even if you hate it, at least you will have done it.
  4. Sleep in on Mountain Day. It feels great.
  5. Attend a random performance or lecture that you know nothing about.
  6. Stop in every shop on Eagle Street in North Adams and chat with people.
  7. Better yet, take the BRTA there and think about the importance of public transportation.

  9. Go kayaking in the pool with Scott Lewis.
  10. Make s'mores on Stone Hill.
