2. Participate in (or casually observe) an on-campus protest.

3. Join in – or host – a slip n’ slide party behind Epsilon Hall.

4. Attend a Bulls game at the Sun Dome.

5. Try to name every celebrity hidden in the mural on the fifth floor of the Crescent Hill parking garage.

12. Go to University Mall and make rounds on the free samples. Hit up Perry’s BBQ twice.

13. Take every free highlighter, bumper sticker, pen and eraser offered at the various fairs around campus.

14. Dodge the golf carts around campus. Rumor has it that if you get hit by one you get free tuition, but it’s not worth testing that notion.

16. Take advantage of the extra good food at Argos and Andros when higher-ups from Aramark or incoming freshmen are visiting.

19. Try to talk a Parking and Transportation Services employee out of a parking ticket when the ticket is already on your windshield.

20. Question whether you need anger management classes when you realize that you’re having horrible thoughts about running over pedestrians.

36. Start a fan club for an obscure sports player. Create a Facebook club, send the athlete fan mail and make posters to show your support at every one of his/her games.

37. Take advantage of the cafe above the bookstore – it’s less crowded than the Starbucks at the Library.

38. Have Westshore Pizza on speed dial.

39. Go rent canoes and go canoeing on the Hillsborough River.

50. Hang out in the basement of the Marshall Center, especially during the Basement Band Series. There’s free music and food.

51. Check out Ratemyprofessor.com when picking classes. Don’t base your selections entirely on what someone is rated, but it’s a good guideline.

52. Smoke a cigar rolled by a Cuban guy (as close as you’re going to get to a Cuban cigar in the US) at Havana Dreams on 7th street in Ybor.

53. Spend a night laughing until your abs ache at the Tampa Improv in Ybor. In the off chance the comedian stinks, bring a few tomatoes.

59. Consider the phrase “you won’t” to have the same power of persuasion as a “triple dog dare” did in the third grade.

68. Get kicked out of the gym for being inappropriately dressed or improperly lifting weights.

69. Face your fear of heights by paying $10 to tackle the ropes course at Riverfront Park.

70. Familiarize yourself with every opportunity for free food: Patio Tuesdays by the Marshall Center, Bull Market Wednesdays, free Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cones every April 28, free 7.11-ounce Slurpees from 7-Eleven on July 11, etc.

71. Nearly miss class due to the ever-elusive hunt for a parking spot.
