The time has finally come for us to head back to our home away from home: UCONN! Some of us have already arrived, and others don’t move in until next weekend. No matter what, we all have one thing in common, and that is that we cannot wait to be back!
- Food Delivery until 3 a.m.: Whether that means Ted's BBQ Chicken and Onion Ring Pizza (and it does), Wings Over, Insomnia, DP Dough, Husky Pizza or the million other places to order your favorite drunkies, there is always something! And it’s always good!
- UConn Dairy Bar, which of course is everyone’s favorite or if you don’t feel like spending money you can always settle for “Free” ice cream at the dining hall.
- The Student Union: For my friends and I it’s mostly the taco salads and mac n cheese, while sitting at a high top talking, gossiping and people watching for hours.
- Nickel: There’s nothing in the real world compared to nickel! What beats cheap drinks with friends and good music? Yup, nothing!
- Tailgates and Dartys: this is pretty self explanatory, who doesn’t love partying outside, whether it is to celebrate a football game or just because it’s the weekend or hell maybe even a Wednesday? UConn is always game for a good darty.
- Freedom: AKA no parents to tell you to get out of bed and stop watching Netflix, or to clean your room, or to go to your class.
- Studying on 3N in Homer: which we all know really means fooling around and talking with your friends instead of getting your work done.
- The Scenery/Atmosphere: From runs on Horsebarn hill, to lying out by mirror lake. No matter where you are on campus (besides north dorms) there’s beauty all around (including all of our student body).
- Sushi at Oriental: OK so maybe you don’t like sushi, but we all love going to Oriental with our friends whether it be for food, or drinks.
- Friends: if you are lucky enough like me you have some incredible friends at UConn who will always have your back and always be down to do some pretty crazy and sometimes weird things along with all the things on this list!
*Moment of silence for all of the good memories from the past school year.*
Now cheers to the ones we are all about to make this year! Only a few more days till we are back! The final countdown is on!
