Some of my fondest memories come from freshman year. All my Frisbee House (Sellery 4A represent!) floor mates and my roommate. We had some great times. The electric hand game, cards in the den, "studying" in the den, and who could forget the April Fool's Day prank the guys pulled. Filling the entire girl's hallway with styrofoam cups filled with water. It was a prank I'd seen done, but never pulled off. I will always hold a special place in my heart for you guys!
And then there were my friends in the band and at Gilman House in the Kronsage dorm. More of my close friends came from there. We used to move road signs and parking cones nearly every weekend and the house fellow always yelled at them the next morning when she found the cones outside her room.
Whether it was studying, partying, or just relaxing my freshman year friends are awesome people and I wouldn't have traded them for anything! Then came my sophomore and junior year friends in the Communication Arts and Psychology departments. Always a fun time with classmates around. When someone struggles we help each other out. It's a great atmosphere and you all know the true nerdiness I invoke.
Who could forget the TWO snow days we had in two years! How incredible! And then back-to-back Rose Bowls! Just a great time to support our Badgers! In all sports. The basketball team made it to the sweet sixteen two years in a row and I got to travel to all the tournament spots. Some of the funniest inside jokes came from these trips and they still hold today. Only a few of us will know where "SQ (Scorpion Queen) truly came from in Boston (from Albuquerque too) and all the time we had in New Orleans. Great memories with great people!
Though I have made friends of all classes during my time here at Madison, I will always hold the seniors (and fifth years) closest to my heart I think. They know the same amount of time that I do. We have similar memories and can always hold those moments of happiness dear to us. You have all done wonders for me over the years and I hope that in some way I have helped you in some way, whether big or small. I feel that I do because whenever I appear to a group of friends they all say (sometimes yell) my name. It always makes me feel loved.
Another thing about my friends as I got older, I met them more and more randomly, whether they be Buckys, cheerleaders, classmates, or just people out on the town. Going out with two of my other friends in one night and chances are one of us will know other people wherever we end up. It makes a huge campus feel a bit smaller and is really cool when it starts happening more and more often!
But either way, whether you went to Mifflin or abided by the "Don't Go" anthem that turned into many songs, I love all of you graduating and can't wait to see what you do in the future! Come back and visit sometime! Anytime! Congratulations seniors! Let's celebrate!
