With just a few more weeks in the year, it is hard to believe that my time as a wee little First-Year is coming to an end. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, and most importantly, I’ve made memories. Oh… the memories I have made. Let’s just say, it’s been an exciting year to be sure. Though it felt like every day was full of fascinating adventure, as I reflect now, there are a few events that stick out more than others. So, as I prepare to welcome in the Class of 2030 with open arms, here are those specific events– the canon events of my first year here–that I hope can serve as inspiration for them all.
