Favorite CMU Memory:
I really enjoyed all of my time at CMU. It was a time of great excitement and learning to grow into the person I am today. I cherish every person I met and the friendships that I still have today. One funny memory was the day a little kitten came wandering into my dorm room in Beddow Hall. I looked down and he was at my feet. There was also a second one that the girls in the next room found. My mom still has him after all these years (since 2002). I still have no idea where he came from! She still doesn't believe that he just wandered into my room, but he really did.
