CM: Watch the sunrise on Stuart hill.
Colleen “Sully” Sullivan: Coll has been setting alarms to watch the sunrise every time we go out for three years and it never happens.
MD: Finally see Titanic.
CM: In Daytona, ride the slingshot enough until it’s free.

MKB: I want a bouncer at Tim’s to know me by name.
RN: Maybe get invited to the infamous Milano’s bartenders Florida trip.

RN: Go to Pine Club at least five more times.
FN: What is your most embarrassing moment at UD?

MD: We did a bar crawl after a day drink and we showed up to Tim’s in our day drink attire.

CM: Walking back to Tim’s at 8 a.m. in the morning to retrieve my phone and wallet.
BD: I fell down our flight of stairs at Chambers.
CS: On parents weekend, it was like 7pm and I just started putting my feet on people until I had the couch all to myself in front of everyone.
MKB: I got too engrossed in a video shown in class and applauded with the people in the video not realizing it and my teacher called me out.
MD: At Fieldhouse, a bouncer did not believe Bridget and I were 21 even though we showed him our IDs and already bought drinks.
BD: I had to try on a boy suit coat at a thrift shop because apparently I “looked about the same size” as some kid making his confirmation.
FN: If you were all back for your 10-year reunion, what would everyone be up to?
MKB: Bridget would be skyping in because she couldn’t leave her country or send a carrier pigeon. Colleen will have 16 kids and will be a Long Island house wife. Rach will be a CEO of a company.
RN: Maggie will have her first four kids with J-White of Toledo, add him on twitter.
MKB: Sully will be the mayor of Dayton and living here with cats and a few kids, more cats than kids and she will have an herb garden.

FN: Do you have any advice for underclassmen?
MKB: Meet as many people as you can, get out of your comfort zone.

MD: But not at night.
RN: If you’re gonna go to Pine Club, never settle for the 8oz filet… get the 10.
BD: If you’re ever on the verge of staying in, go out.
