I am now freshly 22-year-old, and unless something crazy happens, this is my last semester writing for the Brackety-Ack. 🙁 With that, I decided it would be fun for my final column to be “22 Things…” where I can sometimes share advice, list my favorites, or give some insight.

Win at BINGO (bonus points for being one of the announcers)
Order a calzone at Mac N’ Bobs (or split one with a friend)
Have a conversation with President Maxey

Get free wings at midnight on a Wednesday from Mac N’ Bobs
Play an intramural sport or do a workout class– you get a free shirt if your team wins!
Show off your line dancing moves at Sidewinders on a Tuesday night– bring out those cowboy or cowgirl boots.
Check out a choir concert or RC Theatre production– they are truly the hidden gems of campus.
Hike McAfee’s Knob– definitely stretch beforehand!
Watch the sunset on the roof of Center in the Square
Go on a picnic or a run at Green Hill Park
Host your own radio show– for a whole hour once a week you can talk about or play almost anything.
Host your own tailgate before your favorite sporting event– who says you have to have football to tailgate?
Belt your heart out at Karaoke Night or perform at Roanoke’s Got Talent
List five brews at Olde Salem– their Suit and Tie won awards!
Take a day trip to Smith Mountain Lake or Claytor Lake– both are less than an hour away.
