The UNC Bucket List

_This post has been updated with information about the Order of the Bell Tower's bucket list._ With help from the "Order of The Bell Tower":http://obt.unc.edu/, The Daily Tar Heel has provided a Bucket List of 100 things that every student should do before he or she graduates from UNC.
