Second semester senior year is all about nostalgia, making every moment count while you're still here, and spending as much time with your friends as possible. Everything is sentimental and there's never an excuse to not do something anymore.

With the last months of college going far too fast, it's the little things that stick in my mind of why I love it here and why it will break my heart to move on so soon. But there is one giant reason that everyone at Miami can unanimously think of as why this place is so special... Green Beer Day.

Miami is a place where people are put together 90 percent of the time; it's just part of the culture. My favorite part of Green Beer Day is that everyone generally looks the same, with variations of green shirts, jeans, vests and faces of pure joy.

Green Beer Day is special because of the anticipation, the longevity of the day, and the simple dress code; but it is really special because it is the happiest day of the year. Everyone, the Greeks and non Greeks, the freshman and the senior, the student and the alum, the engineering and the theater major, is all in for Green Beer Day.

There is a tangible feeling of happiness in the air on Green Beer Day. Anywhere you go you see people outside in the sun, loving their friends and their home of Oxford. It's such a beloved tradition because it brings the same amount of fun and memories to everyone who participates, no matter their differences every other day of the year.

I am so sad this is my last one, but the memories you make on the four GBDs you get last long after they're gone and the hangover wears off (two weeks later).
