Who said bucket lists are just for oul' ones?

Here's the ultimate guide to things you should see, do and eat before you hit the quarter-century mark.

1 Finish an assignment five minutes before the deadline

The classic all-nighter is a must-try for all college students.

3. Get irresponsibly drunk in Coppers

Insider tip – get there before 10, and skip the door charge. There won't be a queue and you have more money to buy drinks.

4. Then promptly decide to never head to Coppers again

And stick to it. Unless you're a nurse or a guard it's time to let it go – you've had your fun, now move on.

5. Bake a Kinder Bueno cake and eat it all in one sitting

It tastes delicious, TREAT YO'SELF.

6. Run a marathon

Or even a mini-marathon. Do it for your health, but mainly for the bragging rights afterwards.
