Throughout the school year there are many days that students get excited for. Some of these days they know are coming months and years ahead of time, while others take the school by surprise.

3) First Friday of the Fall Semester [or whenever each dorm throws Dis-Orientation]
4) First Home Game
5) Saint Patrick’s Day
6) Michigan Game [an even year replacement for #1]
7) Room Picks [varies depending on dorm]
8) Blue-Gold Game [mainly due to PigTostal]
9) First Day of Spring [Halter Top Day]
10) First Big Snowfall of the Winter

I am sad rally in the alley did not make it on this list... mostly because it doesn't exist anymore :(
ReplyDelete#9 is closely related to The Day - some years they both fall on the same calendar day. Everyone loves The Day: the first day it's warm and sunny, typically a Friday when no one has much work to do, guys with guitars, couches on the quad, frisbees and footballs and baseballs flying every direction, guys without shirts, girls in bikinis, everyone just lovin' life.... Oh, The Day...
