Navigating the uncertainty of the global pandemic that would upend my ƽ���岻�� experience, it would be an understatement to describe my first year experience as untraditional. As the Entering Class of 2020, we traded Rez Life for rapid tests and joined Zoom calls before ever crossing the Roddick Gates. Ironically, in a time where we were more distant than ever, it was our shared experience that brought us together.</p> Fri, 31 May 2024 20:39:40 +0000 Lavinia Auhoma 2012 at /arts /arts/article/word-juliet-morrison-2024-arts-valedictorian <p>Entering ƽ���岻��, I was so excited to immerse myself in campus life and meet curious, passionate students from all over the world.

It's intriguing to discover that most of them have crafted bucket lists—a comprehensive inventory of the finest experiences this city and university have to offer. Inspired by their enthusiasm, I've decided to compile my own bucket list, comprising all the recommendations I've received but have yet to explore.
