Host my very own Crab Feast

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get everyone all together in one place so close to the end of summer? Um, impossible.

 

Catch a Braves Game

I've been a bad fan; but I'll be there Sept. 1.

 

Get a swanky new pair of glasses for the fall

Because I'm clumsy and broke my others -- oops!

 

Stock up on Redskins paraphernalia/Set meeting agenda

I love summer; but I love football season more. For all you Richmond fans, your first meeting will be Saturday, Aug. 23, Buffalo Wild Wings in the Bottom, 6 p.m. sharp. Don't be late!

 

Do a little porch sittin' at sunset

The evenings will start to get shorter soon and I'm going to enjoy the rest of my summer hours on my front porch with a pitcher of something iced -- tea (sweet, unsweet OR Long Island), lemonade -- whatever it may be.

 

Greg Hershey, my little pony

 

Be a winner.

 

Stay up late.

 

Forgive and forget.

 

Live up to the hype.

 

Evade surveillance.

 

Christie Newman, office manager

 

Stop watering my garden

I can’t take another $200 bill.

 

Win the Lottery

Then I can go someplace warm for the fall, and summer will never end!

 

Get tulips

You know who you are, and you’re awesome. (Hint: My birthday is in September.)

 

Run around naked in the rain

Assuming we ever get any.

 

Drink Pina Coladas on the beach

I get my chance next week!

 

Karri Peifer, editor

 

Wear flip flops, daily

Because there really isn't a cold-weather shoe that's nearly as comfortable, or versatile.

 

Control Greg

At least to the extent that I can make him complete a Top Five properly.

 

Sleep

Like I'm in high school and on summer break.

 

Drive in the lower Fan

Before VCU students return in full-force and start wandering into traffic again.

 

Dine in the lower Fan

Before VCU students start clogging the restaurants and dumping pockets-full of change on the counters.

 

Dionne Waugh, news writer


Beachy
I think I'm the only one in my circle of friends who did NOT make it out to MyrtleNagsDuckVirginiaMiami Beach. 

Vacation
Oh wait, I just did that. Can I do it again?

Parking
Remove VCU's ability to let most students drive to campus. They don't know how to drive and there's too many of them.

Outdoors
I really want to enjoy the outdoors, and by enjoy the outdoors, I mean no heat or humidity or smoking or loud people. Just cool peace and quiet.

Grill
Oh how I love to grill out. I just wish I owned a grill.
