1. Round Up

A USF Tradition. To attend "Round UP" at the Sun Dome. Now I don't how it's been in the past, and how many people usually attend this event, but I must say that I was incredibly lucky to get in line early enough to have ground level seats. This pep rally style event brought be back to the my old high school days, playing in the marching band and ridiculously dancing.

Then after two opening acts. Thats right two acts, that just kept rambling off the same jokes repeatedly, then came Mike Epps. Well lets just say he had no problem bashing the USF Football team, but not without kindly mentioning our promising Basketball team.


Lets not forget Judy Genshaft botching our school colors. Lets go green and yellow.

First WOW Event

We decided that a appropirate introductory event to attend was the so called "Campus Tradition," (complements of the WOW brochure). The "Late Night with Campus Recreation" is an array of physical contests and activites. Including dodgeball, zumba, ping pong, and tableing event for intramural sports (which served us well, to get us introduced to which sports teams we may join). We were excited to experience the newly remodeled recreation center and enjoyed a rousing game of what the chinese call ping pong. With a fierce forehand I was able to break down the defense of the 6 foot 2 inch beast that is Kris.

Dodgeball was a different story. Because of an error of registration we had the privilege to absorb a few more team members only to be denied a second round berth. But there was .

Official Bucketlist

First things first, here it is, our bucket list. At this point the list is fluid, things may change(we will keep you updated). This is basically the rough draft of the list. We may be forced to forgo the more costly activities(designated by red text). We're hoping to trim a few items to get the list to 53 items. Why 53? Well that's a good question. Gilbert had the idea that since it's the USF's 53rd anniversary we should have one item for every year of the school's existence. Courtesy of USF Marshall Student Center and HerCampus USF.
