That moment
When you register for your last semester ever in college. I’m so thankful for everyone I’ve met and everything that has happened to me in my five years at UI. But I’m ready to start the next chapter of my life too.

Didn’t vote
Sorry, I’m an international student.

Dads weekend
You know it’s a great Dads Weekend when you’re still recovering well into Sunday. Couldn’t ask for a better father or sister.
–Madison
Boo-hoo
Passive-aggressive females. Very annoying.
–Sean
Deep breath
Sometimes you have to take a break from the most amazing things in life to remember how blessed you truly are.
–Molly
I voted
Did you?

I’ll never get used to it
Chicago was amazing, and a lot of fun, but what seems to have stuck with me most was a homeless man with a kitten buried in his coat, protecting it from the wind. There’s nothing like animals to pull at your heartstrings and wish you could help everyone.

Now it makes sense
I never truly understood their purpose, but this week’s weather has taught me: there is such a thing as a perfect day for a jacket with 3/4-length sleeves.

City life
My desire to live in a big city for a while is reinvigorated. Good thing I get to spend the next two and a half years in little ol’ Moscow.

How you know you’re a sports nerd
After Notre Dame beat Pitt in three overtimes, I rushed the field, celebrated, then picked some grass of the field. I kept the grass and it sits in a Ziploc bag in my room. That is normal, right?

Democracy
As my old dad used to say: Vote early, vote often.
–Kasen
It’s still going to be a good day
I’m tired, behind and stressed, but I’m still in a fantastic mood. Why? My life is filled with wonderful people, I spent last week in Chicago, the leaves are falling, my room is semi-clean and I get to vote for the U.S. president for the first time in my life.

Recuperating
It’s crazy how missing three days of classes can set you back a whole week. I better get to it.
