25. Visit Walden Pond. (You've read the book...)
26. Revisit suburbia. Find a friend with a car and go get Slurpees at 7-11, french fries from McDonald's and pancakes at the International House of Pancakes (IHOP). Take pictures for your dorm room wall.
27. Take a road trip, preferably an unplanned one to a place far, far away. (Come on--be daring. Leave your Dayrunner in your room.)
28. See an O M N I M A X film at the Museum of Science.
29. Ice skate on Boston Common.
30. Go rummaging at Filene's Basement.
31. Visit all the museums in Boston.

34. Go people-watching in Harvard Square.
35. Sit in the Pit for more than an hour. Take a look. Take a good look.
36. Attend services in Memorial Church. Find out what those 8:45 bells are about, and don't leave without hearing Reverend Peter Gomes speak.
37. Make sure to hear all of Harvard's "greats" at least once. West, Gates, Sandel, Gould--attend their debates, shop their classes.
38. Take Gen. Ed. 105. Everyone else will.
