Flashback Friday: Freshman Year

EPISODE TEN: Freshman Year (2006-2007)

-- CHERI --

My freshman year can be summed up in one word: TRANSFER.

Yes... pretty much everyone I was friends with decided to transfer to go someplace different their sophomore year.

Check out this picture.... only one of my friends decided to stick it out!!

Mariah!!  And, boy, am I glad she did!!

 And there is one thing that hasn't changed since Freshman year.... Mariah & Gabe. 

*Collective sigh*

My least favorite moment from Freshman year had to be when I returned to my dorm room after a weekend away to find it completely trashed.  My clothes were out of my closet and all over the room.  I had two broken picture frames and my flat screen for my computer was broken.   What happened?  My roommate invited her little brother and friends over for the weekend.  They "pissed her off" on Friday night, so she left.... for the weekend!! Leaving her brother and friends in our room to do what they please.

She never apologized, I got a new roommate at semester, and you probably guessed it... my original roommate TRANSFERRED! 

--MEGAN--

Highlights include meeting Brenda's sister in the science hall and her telling me about her Freshman sister I should meet!

Touring the Brewers stadium with the Marketing Club

Playing rugby.

Service trip to Chicago with Brenda.

Living in Binz and moving to another floor with Celie for the 2nd semester because my roommate was crazy (lounged around naked, wrote on my ceiling, at ate my food, used my soap, etc.) 

And the Antioch retreat that actually persuaded me to stay at Loras!

Anyone else want to share a summary of your Freshman year?  Send me pics and a few details and I'll post them!!
