I am now a somewhat-freshly-22-year-old, and after a semester\u2019s worth of eight lists with 22 bullet points, we have come to the end of the road. So, here are 22 things I love about Roanoke College, all of which I will miss dearly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The lifelong friendships I have created.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The Communication Studies department that created a fun learning environment where I always felt cared for (both academically and personally).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Bread Board in Commons!<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The faculty and staff who started as mentors, and though they are still mentors, also became friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Seeing President and Mrs. Maxey on their daily walks.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Watching the sunset when coming out of dinner in Colket or while running on the treadmill in Cregger.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Sitting outside of Cavern to do homework in the afternoons.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Cheering on RC sports. Go, Maroons!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Friday on the quad.<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Having Olde Salem be a 0.3 mile walk away.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  11. Sunny days in Sunny Salem.<\/span><\/li>\n
  12. The soft M&M cookies served in Commons every once and awhile.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  13. Serving as a peer mentor for first-year students.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  14. Mac \u2018N Bobs beer cheese with pita bread\u2026 sorry I\u2019m not a huge calzone girl.<\/span><\/li>\n
  15. President\u2019s Ball. I mean how often do you have the opportunity to dress up in the \u201creal world?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  16. Hosting a blind dating show!<\/span><\/li>\n
  17. Bingo- the game I probably won\u2019t play again for 50+ more years.<\/span><\/li>\n
  18. The pink blooms on the trees in the spring.<\/span><\/li>\n
  19. Being part of the Salem community and scoping out the tables at Olde Salem Days.<\/span><\/li>\n
  20. Chef Jacob\u2019s omelets. Fun fact, I hadn\u2019t EVER had an omelet until my sophomore year of college, so thank you Chef Jacob.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  21. Having the opportunity to meet new people and getting to know them quickly because of the close knit atmosphere.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  22. The<\/span> Brackety-Ack a<\/span><\/i>dvisors, editorial team, and reporter staff and themed layouts!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
