I had every intention to make my first blog posting something legitimate, legally substantive, and professional. But then my moot court brief was due; I fell behind on all my readings; and Miley Cyrus was on SNL. While watching my girl Miley on SNL I was able to stop and appreciate the chaos that is my life as 3L. Miley does whatever she wants, whenever she wants, and that freedom is something I greatly envy at this juncture of my life. Despite doing things that are somewhat controversial, Miley is making the most of her life and she is having a great time doing it. So it got me thinking: before I know it law school will be over. Despite all the chaos, there are a lot of things I want to accomplish before I graduate. I really want to make the most of my remaining months as a law student and have a great time doing it. So I compiled a list of things I would like to accomplish before I graduate in May. Without further ado, here is my 3L bucket list:
• Be student blogger of the month – check
• CALI a class (watch out Federal Courts)
• Surpass 10,000 Westlaw and Lexis points
• Get Miley Cyrus to re-tweet me
• Eat everything off the Tory Hill menu
• Make the Dean’s List (watch out Federal Courts)
• Introduce myself to every professor (in progress)
• Win a moot court competition
• Go to a non-basketball Marquette sporting event
• Make it a semester without injuring myself (the least likely on this list)
• Go to a Packers game
• Kick an undergrad off the 3rd or 4th floor on the weekend
• Get nap cots installed throughout the building
• Get a class photo of the class of 2014 hung in the building
• Actually be able to park at Eckstein in the morning
• Go a day without spending money at Tory Hill
• Ride the wrecking ball that was involved in tearing down part of Sensenbrenner Hall
• Win a co-ed intramural soccer championship
• Go a full week without skipping a class or skipping a reading
• See an oral argument before the Wisconsin Supreme Court
• See an oral argument before the Seventh Circuit
• Spend the night in the law school
• Win a writing competition
• Get a Buzzfeed article posted
• Make the 2014 Jenkins Moot Court Competition the best EVER!
• GET…A…JOB!!!
Your bucket list contains two goals that are in conflict:
1) Eat everything off the Tory Hill menu
and
2) Go a day without spending money at Tory Hill
I wish you luck in achieving the last one on the list.

Brittany, your list omits one item that can now be retroactively added and checked: speak at the commencement ceremony, and do a brilliant job.
Congratulations and best of luck to you and your classmates!
