The transition into college is exciting, intimidating, and brand new for everyone. Sometimes, you may not know what to do or where to go next, both figuratively and literally. To assist with this transition and better familiarize our new readers with what it is like to attend Scripps, we have developed a tool for you.
The following are 50 generally shared Scripps first-year experiences collated into The Official TSV First-Year Bucket List (or Guide). Though everyone’s first year is unique regarding who they are and where they came from, much of it is composed of similar highs and lows.
You can cut out this list as inspiration for activities and goals, a good laugh, or, simply put it somewhere safe to return to at the end of the year. You may scoff or furrow your brow at some of these now, but you just might find that come May, you can tick off more than you originally thought. Regardless of how you choose to interact with The Bucket List, I hope it can help you enjoy your first year and find your place in our beautiful community. Good luck, and enjoy it!
