  • I'm definitely setting a new record for how many mini cliff bars I can fit in this fanny pack.
  • Thank you to whoever invented fanny packs.
  • I have no clue how I got into this corral but I guess this is where I’ll stay.
  • I'm definitely more nervous for the seeded/sub-seeded runners than they are for themselves.
  • To the people with the full body costumes, I admire you.

  • I mean seriously is pink gorilla guy going to keep that on the whole time??
  • Why do so many people have bags of tortillas?
  • Ah, I see.
  • I’m sorry to anyone I hit in the face with a tortilla.
  • The volunteers created a human chain to corral all of these people. They actually did that.
  • The infamous nervous-pee is coming on.
  • These speakers are quite powerful; sorry again, eardrums.
  • I’m going to check my watch as I pass the start line so I look like an ~serious~ runner.
  • I’ve never been so energized during a run.
  • Full credit for this energy goes to the hype man on the loudspeaker at the start.
  • Where are the mile markers? I need to establish when it's socially acceptable to take a stretch break
  • Hayes Hill, you almost got me. Almost.
  • The Church of Latter Day Sinners. Good one.
  • Thank you to the stranger who, unbeknownst to them, is pacing me.
  • This is basically just a moving frat party with better costumes and healthier decisions being made.

  • How is it already Mile 4?
  • That sobriety tent could be a useful implementation at college parties. Just saying.
  • This run wouldn’t be nearly as fun if not for the enthusiastic spectators.
  • Another happy (belated) birthday to the man wearing the “I turned 60 today” shirt!
  • Everyone here is so comfortable being them own selves.
  • You get used to the naked people after a bit.
  • Also, shoutout to the naked people- I wish I was that carefree and confident in my own skin.
  • Alright, it’s starting to get cold.
  • This fog means we’re almost done right??
  • Here’s to the runners high that kicked in around Mile 5.
  • ...and here’s to pressing the gas a little too early on that runner's high.
  • Regardless, this gradual downhill is very much so appreciated.

  • These elite runners are running their cool down faster than I’m running the race.
  • Your negativity didn’t affect anyone, Repent or Perish guy.
  • I’m sorry to the police officers around him who had to listen to that for the whole race.
  • The beach!! The finish!! The runners high is back!
  • Can these strangers motivate me to finish strong do the same every night when I try to procrastinate on my homework?
  • Oh god, I definitely did not make a cute face for that finish line picture.
  • I’m on such an adrenaline high right now.
  • My medal that, yes, I will wear around for the rest of the day, thank you very much.
  • Make room for these Pete’s coffee cold brews, mini cliff bars.
  • I definitely drank too much coffee.
  • I really love this city and all the people in it.
  • I don’t even know what these vitamin packets are but I’ll have 8.
  • The contrast of all these sunny people and colorful costumes to the foggy day is so stark.
  • Here’s to already wishing Bay to Breakers 2018 would come sooner.

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
