It all started three years ago. We moved into our first college dorms, went through the awkward stages of strangers to besties with your roommate(s) and eventually learned where everything was on campus. We discovered the beautiful first taste of wings on a drunken night, and the luxury of our awesome Animal Science program blessing us with some of the best ice cream in the area. We have learned that Student IDs on a lanyard make for no fashion statement and that Thursday nights are designated Nickel Nights.
We have stormed the court in Gampel celebrating two Women’s Basketball Championships and one Men’s Basketball championship. While there is so much we have overcome and had the opportunity to experience while students at UConn, there is still so much more we have not had the chance of getting around to. So, Class of 2015, take a look at this compiled list and get busy and motivated to embrace each last moment and chance you have as a student here at UConn.
