There are a lot of 'traditions' here at NC State and a lot of things that should be done before graduating, just like I'm sure there are at any college. Someone (or a group of someones?) compiled a list of 54 things to do at NC State before graduating. Because I am totally in love with being a student at NC State, I have made it my goal to do all of the things on the list! Luckily I've already done a majority of them, but the bolded ones are those that I still have to complete... enjoy part one :)
1. Run the Krispy Kreme Challenge. check!

| Danella and I Sophomore year! |
2. Paint the Free Expression Tunnel. check!

| Painting the Tunnel Freshman year for Alicia's Birthday! |
3. Learn the NC State songs. check!(ish)
