Reminiscing My First Semester At the “Zou”
Morgan Drew Cunnyngham

Finals week has come and gone which is an AMAZING feeling but it is also depressing. That means that fall semester of school is done and my sophomore year of college is halfway over with. So here are some good memories that I have experienced throughout this fall semester.

The first impactful memory was Tiger Walk. When I ran through the columns to symbolize my entrance at Mizzou. It’s a tradition and one that I was able to experience with my sister, Cassidy, who also walked with me even though she is a senior. Then getting Tiger Stripe ice cream afterwards was the perfect ending to that tradition.

Then of course you have all of the football games that I got to experience and cheer on my Mizzou Tigers! From the many times where my voice was raw from screaming, all the sweat and weird tan lines, and to the coat and glove games.

To all of the times where I have pulled 12 straight hours in the studio creating and finishing my architecture projects and assignments. That basement studio room where I have experienced many breakdowns, cry sessions, and watched strangers turn into some of my closest friends. Thank you Austin, Olivia, Amy, and Braydon you all mean the world to me! Don’t want to do life without you all!

Shout out to Emporium Café which is open late so when I get out of the studio or I don’t want to be social for the day I can just go there and order lunch/dinner and take it back to my room to eat.

For finally having a 100 day streak on snapchat with two of my very best friends Jake and Rachel, love you guys!

My mom is about to cringe when she reads this one but I only missed my 8am class three times the whole semester! By the way it was a solid 17 min walk from my dorm room and I had great reasons to skip each time, LOL.

Going to The Well on Wednesday nights and knowing that no matter what I had going on that week there was always time to praise Jesus and fall in love with him.

All of the conversations, text messages, and snapchats that I have received from my sister even though she is just two blocks away from me on campus and most of the time I just left her place.

There has been so many more memories but these are just a few that really stood out to me. I am so thankful for my fall semester at Mizzou. All the people I have meet, experiences that I have experienced, and how much I have grown as a person.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
