As second semester of college rolls around, people start looking forward to warmer weather, different sporting events, and even summer. But for second semester seniors, it's a time of reflection on your past years at school. I interviewed my friend Abby, who is a second semester senior at UMass Amherst, and this is what she had to say:
Me: What are the top five places you recommend eating at before you graduate UMass?
Abby: On campus: Franklin D.C., Sweets And More, Greeno's Sub Shop, Berk (dining hall), and Sylvan snack bar. Off Campus: Antonio's, Glazed (pre-seizure), Bread And Butter, Cushman's, and Cumberland Farms.
Me: What is your favorite activity to do on or off campus during the fall semester and the winter semester?
Abby: On-campus I like to go to the Durfee Conservatory, but off-campus I like to walk around Northampton.
Me: What are some of your favorite classes you've taken since freshman year?
Abby: The Body Politic with Diane Curtis, French 110 with Kristen Webber, American Political Thought With Dean Robinson, and American Politics Through Film With Micheal Hanahan.
Me: What is one thing about the campus that you wish you could take home with you?
Abby: The freedom of living on my own, definitely.
Me: What is something that is on your UMass bucket list?
Abby: I've always wanted to have sex in the library...
Me: What is one thing you wish you did differently during your time here?
Abby: Either rushed my sorority as a freshman or not chosen a random roommate freshman year.
Me: What do you think is the best part about being a second semester senior?
Abby: Making incredibly reckless decisions and using the excuse that I'm a second semester senior for sure.
Me: And finally, what is something you want to tell everyone younger than you to take advantage of before they graduate?
Abby: Intern as much as possible, never turn down a date with a cute boy, and always make friends in your classes.
