Freshman Year
My freshman year in college was a great year… filled with fun, friends, and memories I will not soon forget. It was a fun first year. Come experience it with me!
First of all, here’s the place where it all happens! McGraw-Long Hall!
A group hanging out in the MGL kitchen at one in the morning.
Kim and Naomi are great friends!
Tom and Ian’s Music Fest! A great event, but thissign was quite a bother to all of us taller folks due to how low this sign hung.
Three guys from 3C stop in the lobby to strike a pose for the camera.
Kristal (right) and her sister Jade pause to pose for the camera in front of the “new” door decor.
C.J., my RA, takes a moment to spin a football on his finger for the camera.
As the first snowfall of the year begins, MGL-ers begin to flock outside for snowballs, despite it being 1:00 AM.
Chris picks up a snowball, and then… uh-oh… I believe I’m in for a snowball or two.
A frozen resident heads up the outside stairs to return to the heat of her warm room within McGraw-Long’s concrete walls…
After the snowball fight on Hillside field was all said and done, everyone stands victorious for the camera.
Gee can’t understand why I have the light attached to the camera!
Skatetown in Harrisonburg had a “Wacky Tacky Skate for Kids” on March 17 as a fundraiser, and we had two teams from MGL out raising money. The “Wacky Tacky” part came from how they were dressed. Look and see!
The first team was (left to right) Naomi, Kim, and Krisha…
The second team was Chris and Cristen…
And what about the things that happened that we didn’t photograph? What about…
