My favorite memory from Grand Valley would have to be the shows I did with my improv team Subject to Change. I can not express how amazing it was to find a group of like minded, hilarious, and amazing friends!

When I was a freshman, there was quite a snowy winter. One day, around the weekend lunch rush around Kleiner, there was a large crowd mingling outside the building.

One of my favorite memories was the first time I met my freshman year roommate, who is now my best friend still to this day. We started as strangers awkwardly trying to be polite and courteous to good friends who travel together all the time!
