Starting out as a freshman is scary. Not only do I have so much freedom, but there are classes, clubs, and so many things to do. While I am in such a new chapter of my life, I plan to make the most of it. So as I go throughout my freshman year, I will be completing the CofC Bucket List. This list, though quite daunting, is compiled of events like taking a Sunset Harbor tour all the way to taking a class you know nothing about. Every week I plan to complete one of the items listed below in hopes of completing it all before I graduate, or even before second semester ends. My fingers are crossed on completing it all in time, but it will definitely be one for the books. If you would like to join me on this journey, I have provided the most updated list for the College of Charleston.
