Favorite spot on campus and favorite memory associated with it: It would be Brookings. It was COVID year, and we were taking Organic Chemistry as a freshman.

Post-graduation plans: I am still in St. Louis, but we’ll see.

Favorite spot on campus and favorite memory associated with it: I like Hillman, the big atrium. I used to sleep on those benches upstairs. The East End is also a great spot to hang.

Biggest campus involvement and favorite memory from that organization: The biggest thing for me is probably the WashU Hip Hop Union (WUHHU). I do all of the nonchoreographer and we are going to competition in two weeks.

Post-graduation plans: I am walking at graduation and then in the fall, and then I start work in January. It is a completely remote job, which is why I chose to study Computer Science, because I wanted to work working.

It was a pre-orientation program from when I was a freshman, since. It is just an amazing group outdoors. I was a student of WP, a leader within the group, and trained the new leaders, so I it.

One object that was mailed to you from your dorm when you were sent home after COVID: My bio textbook.

Highlight from the last four years: away on this family’s farm. We just went and camped there. exploring the weird random spaces in St. Louis and the rest of Missouri has definitely been the highlight. Something that I’m going to miss is the spontaneity that anything might happen. Missouri is honestly super cool. I had a lot of mixed feelings about it when I first came here freshman year, and I felt separated from the St. Louis community when I was on campus. Then I got a car and started exploring, and there’s some really weird cool spots that you can’t really experience anywhere else.

One object that was mailed to you from your dorm when you were sent home after COVID: I had such a saga with my stuff getting home. They shipped forgot to ship my stuff. I got my my friends exploring St. Louis to know the space that they’re in and not just wanting to exist within this WashU bubble. So one weekend, a few of my friends and I just found a random tent site three and a half hours

I guess I am still waiting for my triumphant moment on this campus. I do sometimes think back to my walking around campus and how much time has passed. So much has changed, I am still grateful to be here and up until now, just thinking about that and thinking about that hope is a beautiful thing.

When I got my stuff it was like a time capsule — they wrapped my trash can with my trash in it. There was just my random trash that I didn’t think was an artifact at the time but had random stuff in it from March. I would say the thing I most wanted was my sketchbook.

Favorite spot on campus and favorite memory associated with it: Probably the DUC, because it’s the place where all and we just get to hang out and

Mudd is like the DUC for when it is warm outside. Recently my friends and I had a fake competition to see who could spend the most time outside on Mudd, and we were on it for something like eighty hours straight hanging out in the hammocks or throwing frisbees. We only left Mudd to go to the DUC and get food.

Biggest campus involvement and favorite memory from that organization: to say the frisbee team. It is, by far, my biggest extracurricular. I played in high school, but I also community, and at WashU, it is the best community of all time.

Highlight from the last four years: I just feel like there are so many little moments that I don’t want to let go of. For example, just spending time with my look forward to the weekends, year there was one day where a metro and went to Target and spur of the moment decided to get a plastic pool for two bucks. We took it back on the Metro, wheeled it all the way up Big Bend, and then made a little

a tournament in Columbia, Missouri, and then we came back to St. Louis. That Sunday, campus was dead silent. We had heard rumblings of COVID potentially sending people home, and I didn’t know what was gonna happen. I thought I was just going home for a week of spring break, and I was like, I’m going to take some time off from playing frisbee and working out. I am not going to bring my cleats home.

Highlight from the last four years: I will always remember year, which was really fun and I remember just walking down, and my parents were so amazed by swam in the pool — I say in extreme air quotes. I think that was probably of college, just because it was so quintessential college. I don’t think I would do that at any other point in my life. their students. It just felt super good because in that moment I felt super proud to be here and be a part of this community.

One object that was mailed to you from your dorm when you were sent home after COVID: The biggest panic thing for me was probably my spare glasses because my pair at the time were so close to breaking, and I thought I would be access to them.

Favorite spot on campus and favorite memory associated with it: but honestly, it is a little cheesy, but I will say the DUC because it has been kind of a constant for me.

There but I saw one of my friends and she asked if I wanted to join, and I thought, “oh my God — to hang out with you, for sure!” It is a really great cause and I am really happy that I did it.

Highlight from the last four years: So in California there is not a lot of rain, and dealing with the weather here has been such a beast in itself, but now I’m going to go because unlike my friends who

Some of the fraternity boys we were with suggested we should use trash bags, and I was like “this is not going to do anything, and remember running from Fraternity Row to the South 40 and it was just pouring and we were laughing so hard with no care in the world.

Post-graduation plans: I am planning on going to Chicago, and actually, three minutes ago, I was just accepted to law school at Loyola. Favorite spot on campus and favorite memory associated with it: If it’s a nice day out, I like to sit outside of Parkside, but if it’s rainy or the weather isn’t super nice, there is a little nook in the law library. If you walk past all of the long tables right before you would walk upstairs there are two chairs sitting across from each other, and I like to read and do work there. Since we were locked away in our apartments all the time to get warm out that spring semester we would all go to Parkside and that was the one time a week when I could see all of my friends that I Parkside so much.

It was just so nice neighborhood, I saw more people

Highlight from the last four years: my freshman year, which was really fun and I remember just walking down, and my parents were so doing for their students.

One object that was mailed to you from your dorm when you were sent home after COVID: For my birthday my friends got me a potato with my high school English teacher’s face on it as a gag gift. I kept the potato and kept meaning to throw it out, and that was the one for spring break because when I up my belongings my entire room reeked of moldy rancid potato. I had to scrape it off of my bookshelf. It was so gross.

Biggest campus involvement and favorite memory from that organization: since I was a freshman. We raise money for St. Louis children’s of WUnderground, which is really cool people.

Highlight from the last four years: of freshman year, because it was such a hilarious time and it was so short. One more recent memory that sticks out is from when we went on this tractor ride. I would was one of the funniest moments other is not just one moment, but definitely that experience of our little area behind the Loop is our own neighborhood. Just walking around, and seeing people that you know and kind of recognize, or walking past your friends’ houses and knowing that they are in there is really comforting and just funny.

Biggest campus involvement and favorite memory from that organization: EST has been a major opportunity, and it’s really cool to be a part of a healthcare infrastructure in college. Emergency medicine and being an EMT is really cool, but the biggest thing for me was the from being on EST. You really learn a lot about medical knowledge and how to be a leader within a team. You get to be a mentor and at the same time be mentored. I am also part of the a cappella group S.T.L.,
