\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0On the Thursday before Thanksgiving break, Community Day brought students and faculty together on a scavenger hunt across campus to define what it means to be a maroon.\u00a0 \u201cIt was really fun!\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t planning on participating, but I was invited, and I\u2019m glad I said yes.\u00a0 I enjoyed finding different things and paying attention to things that I might not usually stop and look at, looking at you, Authors and Architects.\u201d\u00a0 Talking about what makes our community special, Victor 100% recommends taking a class with Dr. Milbrodt or Dr. Garrison if you haven\u2019t already.\u00a0 \u201cThey have really been amazing mentors.\u00a0 Anytime I have a question, they are always super open to answering, and I think they are both very smart and very funny.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0As the weather continues to have trouble deciding whether to snow or rain, Victor shared some Salvo family Christmas traditions.\u00a0 \u201cOn my dad’s side of the family, my grandparents are immigrants from Sicily, so there’s a lot to do with that.\u00a0 My nonna gets really excited about Christmas because the family is also very Catholic.\u00a0 This year, we are doing the seven fish as a theme.\u00a0 Otherwise, when I was younger, it was a big tradition to make reindeer food.\u00a0 We would have paper bags, and we’d put all of the reindeer food in them, and we’d draw little reindeer faces on them, and that was always really fun.\u00a0 Then New Year\u2019s goes even harder with a 20 to 30-person party, where there\u2019s a lot of alcohol, food, movies, and music.\u00a0 The Salvos go crazy for the holidays.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cMy nonna makes a fantastic tiramisu.\u00a0 It is one of the best foods that I have ever had.\u00a0 I’m really not supposed to eat it, but I might just because it is so good.\u00a0 I know too many people who haven’t had it or who haven’t had good tiramisu, and that’s important, because you must soak the lady fingers appropriately.\u00a0 If they’re not absolutely soaked in espresso, you haven’t done it correctly.\u00a0 My grandmother would make tiramisu, and her sister would make cannoli.\u00a0 Those were the two big desserts, and there would never be any of them left by the end of the night.\u00a0 So I’m looking forward to it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0For Victor’s first fun fact, his third favorite scent is coffee.\u00a0 \u201cI am a religious coffee drinker, specifically black coffee. If I don’t have at least two cups a day, it’s a problem.\u201d\u00a0 Also, Victor has had a bearded dragon named Kato since about 15 years old, who is presently in PA.\u00a0 As for his post-graduation plans, he intends to take a year to build up his savings and then pursue a graduate degree in English literature.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI would like to thank my parents, my family, my friends, my girlfriend, and all of my professors.\u00a0 There are so many people that if I hadn’t had one conversation with them, or if they hadn’t given me one piece of advice, my entire college journey would have been so much different.\u201d<\/p>\n
