Another year has come and gone and let me tell you, as a soon-to-be junior, I am heartbroken leaving the Suites. You can just imagine all the many happenings that can occur over the course of a year while living in a suite filled with estrogen. For those of you girls who will be living in McDonald Hall next year, here are some things you can expect.

1. The locking of the gate each night will become the bane of your existence.

Seriously, this is perhaps the most frustrating part of living in the suites, but hey, it's school policy.

2. You will sign a document promising not to lick the walls.

It's not healthy.

3. You and your suitemates will never agree on the temperature.

4. You never realized how important the alphabet was.

5. And it will now quickly become part of your identity.

6. Expect all the suites to come up with their own fun nicknames.

Sweden, The J, The Ovary...the list goes on.

7. You will have many, many junk food parties.

8. You will never run out of clothes with eight closets.

9. Best of all, you will have seven lifelong friends.

Have a happy summer, all! Sophomore women, get ready for what I am sure will be one of the best living experiences ever!
