As a senior economics major, I can't help but wonder if my time in college has been worth the tuition. Using the intelligence I acquired from this superior University, I came up with a highly sophisticated way to gauge the Notre Dame experience. Let's be honest, this score is more important than any college test. So go ahead, challenge your friends, and be sure to keep this bucket list for future reference. In the words of the great Ferris Bueller, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

FINAL SCORING:
0-100 Welcome to Weenieville; ie, your life needs a makeover asap! It's time to let go and make life more interesting… college is too short to stay in this range very long!
101-200 There have been a few thrills here and there, but you could definitely use more excitement. Maybe implement the "never say no" policy for a bit and see how that treats you.
201-275 Not too bad, but nothing to get too excited about. Not suggesting you get arrested, but if you're feeling crazy, why not visit Duck Island after Climbing Stepan?
276-350 People might not call you reckless, but you've had your average share of thrills. A few more points couldn't hurt, but for the meantime good for you.
351-425 Safe to say life is interesting. Keep up the momentum… You're a king!
426-500 For better or worse, life is certainly exciting! It's guaranteed you have a number of stories that start out "remember that time when..."
501-575 At this point no one can consider you dull. But depending on how you racked up those points, it might be wise to slow down. But then again, this is still college!
576-675 College or reckless? Awesome Awesome Awsome!
676+ Let's just say it's a wonder you made it this far…
