Maddy and I have been friends since freshman year of college. We met in Comp 1 and helped each other with papers and homework. I will never forget the times we sang country music at her apartment and cooked dinner together. Not to mention I'm an aunt to her dog Marley and Rufus. She never ceases to brighten my day.

Kylee and I have known each other since the beginning of high school and have kept in touch since. It all started when we both didn't have partners in softball, so we were stuck with each other. Turns out, we are still stuck with each other. Kylee has a sweet spirit and will forever be a friend to me.

Britni and I met during the second half of my college journey. We both share the same major, elementary education. We have had many study and homework dates at Chickfila. She has a driven personality and is an excellent mom to her daughter Evie and soon-to-be sister Oaklyn.

Meyghan is one of Mayson's sisters. Meyghan and I became friends before me and Mayson started dating. I always enjoyed singing with her on the youth worship team. She is such a bright and happy soul.

Joselyn is Mayson's sister as well. Joselyn and I are both on the career path to becoming elementary school teachers. We enjoy chatting about the classroom together and envisioning what the future will be like.

James and I have similar competitive drives and we can't accept losing any game to each other. James has a childhood movie reference for any occasion and is always way too eager to start another game of Mario Party.

Braden and I have been friends since birth. From Whataburger runs to Jackbox Games to 3am walks to Kum&Go, we always find a way to have a good time.

Kaiden is ready at all times to host another last-minute hangout with the boys. We have always had a mutual admiration for music, and I'll never forget our time in the Multipurpose Room listening to The Eden Project for the first time and waiting for the next episode of Gravity Falls.

Nick is always ready to humble me in almost any game. Playing as Gholoth in Crawl, Pyra/Mythra in Smash, or just stealing everything from me in Mario Party, he always accepts my requests for another humiliating rematch.

The Summer of 2022 will always be one to remember. Hours away from home it was just us, Ceasar Flickerman, and late-night breakfast pizza to keep us company while we waited to load into the next Warzone lobby.
