It's (sadly) official—we're second semester seniors, and soon enough we'll be taking graduation pictures on top of Bascom. In the meantime, here are some reasons to appreciate the last semester we have at this amazing place we're lucky enough to have called home for the past seven semesters.

I asked some seniors what they'd miss next year, and this is what they said:

"Having a lake in my backyard."

"Having a walk up Bascom be my cardio for the week."

"Having cheese curds on every menu."

"Not being able to recognize my friends in ski masks on the street."

"Cheesy bread at the Farmer's Market."

"The good vibes and the amount of people out on State Street when it hits above 30 degrees."

"Frackets... and sprinting to the KK at 12 in the morning with my friends in the snow."

"Having a million food carts to choose from for lunch."

"Everyone is nice here. I love how everyone just says hi to me."

"Eating 3,000 (or more) calories at the KK every game day."

"Going out on Thursday night, Friday after class, Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday night... and sometimes Sunday night."
