The Ann Arbor Bucket List

As so often happens when coming up with stories, a last minute change in topic and ideas (for the group) has given me a totally different story to do for this project....

Every freshman is told by a senior, or an alum, when they arrive in Ann Arbor that "College goes by way too fast, so enjoy it!" or, "I wish I could go back to Ann Arbor for another year."

And as this senior can attest to, they were right. My time in Ann Arbor has been great, and it has been an experience that I wouldn't trade for the world. But like most things in life, you don't always get to do everything that you wanted.

That's why I came up with the idea for the Ann Arbor Bucket List. This list is for all the seniors (and even juniors) who can see graduation slowly looming on the horizon and still have things they wish to do. Everyone at Michigan has their own list of things to do. That said, we will attempt to get opinions from a wide variety of students, faculty, and staff from around the University of Michigan.

And while the "Nicholson and Freeman Bucket List" is starkly different than ours, here is just a small preview of what will be on the list.

• See a concert/show at the Bling Pig

• Participate in Dance Marathon

• Attend a Michigan Ice Hockey game at Yost Ice Arena (my personal story)
  

Our group has decided to split the work equally, with more clearly defined positions coming once we start the process. Each person has been assigned one item on the list, and have all agreed to shoot video and edit what they shoot. We have a list of people we want to interview, and that list has also been split up equally. I plan on taking a larger role in the filming and storyboard process, as I have the most experience in shooting and developing stories for TV and the web.
