This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Conn chapter.

It has been an extremely exciting week in Storrs, as our UConn men swept the NCAA tournament and became the 2011 National Champions. Campus has been buzzing for past couple weeks, but absolutely exploded this week when we beat Butler Monday night. Here is some footage from the celebration that took place this week. Have some pictures of your own to add to the collection? Feel free to send them to bridgetshannon@hercampus.com!

Bridget is a senior at the University of Connecticut majoring in journalism and anthropology. Between interning at The Hartford Courant/Fox CT and a nonprofit education agency during the week, she manages a website she founded about cooking quick, healthy meals for college students, and writes for Examiner.com about creating low-budget meals. She is a campus rep for BaubleBar jewelry, and served as a peer mentor to freshmen this year. Bridget studied abroad in London, and interned at a lifestyle magazine over the summer in Shanghai, China. Her free time is dedicated to scouring the Internet for discount designer shoes and following UConn and Boston sports. She's training for a half marathon this spring, which (at times) justifies her weakness for mint chocolate chip ice cream. She hopes to see every inch of the world someday, and maybe write about it too.
