Roscoe has been the Dean of Students at Central Michigan for 15 years and was more familiar with sitting in meetings, rather than in a booth next to five seniors with a Graduation Bucket List.

On Friday February 26, 2010, Roscoe dove right into completing the challenge of eating 10 bitty burgers in one hour to help us cross that item off our list.  

Seeing the servers walked out with six trays filled with 10 bitty burgers each, it was as if we all had telepathically communicated "um, why are we doing this again?"

The excited and anticipating looks on all of our faces slowly faded as we all realized that this was going to be a lot harder than we thought.

There were a lot of different comments floating through the air like "I feel like throwing up," "Should I be proud that I can eat 10 bitty burgers in an hour or more embarrassed," "I can't do this," "What number are you on," "I got to go unbutton my belt," "There is too much bun," and "My mom is going to be proud of me."

While stuffing bitty burgers in our mouth we all chatted away with the Dean about the graduation ceremony, his 14-year old son (who convinced him to do the challenge), his enjoyment of golfing and how he became the Dean of Students.

After 30 minutes of eating bitty burgers, some of us had completed the challenge and others had only wished that the burgers in front of us had magically disappeared.

At least we all walked away with the memory of doing this "once in a lifetime" Pixie Challenge with the Dean of Students. One item crossed off The Graduation Bucket list, only nine more to go.
