No one specific memory reigns highest of them all for me but I look very fondly on going for a sweet treat at late night at the Blue Connection with my roommate and our neighbors.

One of my favorite college memories is meeting the friends who would become like family. We bonded over late-night study sessions, spontaneous adventures, and just always showing up for each other. Another highlight was playing intramural sports!

Football games and tailgating at mystic.

That was a long time ago, but my favorite times at school where the annual band tours. Each year the band would board busses in the spring and spend 3 days visiting different Michigan communities.
