I know grad school isn't exactly like marriage or having children, but I was wondering if anyone has/had a list of things you want to do or accomplish before entering grad school. I'd love to hear about it! My list: 1. Backpack in South America, volunteer in the Amazon (check) 2. Hike GR-10 path from the French Atlantic to the Mediterranean (nope) 3. Work in California Sierra Nevada (check) 4. Hike Wonderland Trail a Mount Rainier (looking good for this summer) 5. Make sashiko quilt (in progress…) 6. Hike John Muir Trail (nope)

What would this person suggest to cure this problem? Getting rid of athletic programs? Most college athletes are great students that don't go pro. The reality is that college sports, especially football, is popular. Football and basketball bring $$$$ to the institution, so what concern is it of yours that some athletes are floating by on fluffy coursework funded by NCAA money? I agree: It is always irritating to be burdened by apathetic students, but come on. Apathetic students come from anywhere, all walks of life. I'm more curious as to how other students with no apparent interests or skills snuck their way into school.
