YOHO 10, 9...

This week marks my FINAL week of going to classes as a Husker. I honestly cannot believe that I was a freshman a whole four years ago. It seems like just yesterday we were running around the dorms wreaking havoc with our schenanigans, making new friends, and trying to figure out this little thing called college.

  

Poor Schramm 4...

Smith 8 for lifeeeee

Of course I'm excited about moving onto the next step in my life, but there are so many things that I'm going to miss about living in Lincoln and calling myself a Husker. I've tabulated a YOHO (corny, I know...) Top 10 list of things I'll miss most about UNL, because You're Only a Husker Once! I wish I had a sweet video clip to go along with each of them like ESPN...but a little description and pictures will have to do for now. Enjoy! 

10. East Campus and Riding the Bus

Being a Nutrition and Exercise Science major, I've had a significant number of classes take place on East Campus. Sure, a lot of students make it a goal never to step foot east of 14th and Vine, but I really enjoyed making this trip a couple times every week...especially when I was able to take the bus! It saved me a little gas, was super convenient, and provided a GREAT people watching opportunity (my favorite!) Funny things like this happened quite often...and yes, that's our driver. 

Big gulps, eh? Welp, see ya later!

 It was a nice little break to get away from regular campus, and I really enjoyed the quiet, still, and farmy feel of it. Hands down, East Campus Union is home of the best napping couches in the city...I'd suggest giving them a try sometime! ;)

9. City Campus

I may be a little biased, but I believe that the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. The four seasons are represented so well, and one of my favorite times of year is in the fall when all of the trees turn bright colors and the air is perfectly crisp...not to mention it's volleyball season!

B-e-a-utiful!

Campus always seems to have "mood" that you can feel while going to class, and a majority of the time it eerily described yourself...such as excitement for the weekends' game, the hurriedness/stress of finals week, or the optimism of a new school year. There are numerous random benches and hang out spots that are very handy to sit down and study, read a book, or just plain people watch on a nice day...and my fellow students never seemed to disappoint! The hourly bell tower chimes add an old-fashion feel, or even a magical one with the occasional the Harry Potter songs :) It's also nice to be able to navigate from one end to another in 10 minutes or less, and no wheels necessary - yet I always had to be on the lookout for crazy bikers and skateboard riding professors. I'm so grateful to have such an aesthetically pleasing and welcoming campus that I was able to call home for four years!
