Looking back

Although leaving The U of M, graduates say memories of theircollege experience will forever remain in their minds, includingeverything from their favorite professor to their favorite petpeeve.

"My favorite memory is my experience as a Frosh Camp counselor,"said Melinda Laroco, senior biology major and Ms. U of M.

Senior Latrell Armstrong, Mr. U of M, said being a Frosh Campcounselor was also his favorite memory.

"I loved Frosh Camp because it gave me a chance to help outincoming freshmen," said Armstrong. "I didn't have anyone lookingout for me when I was a freshman, so I was excited to be able to dothat for someone."

Many of this year's graduates said they'll never forget the fewclasses they actually didn't mind getting out of bed for.

Both Armstrong and senior education major Deketa Smith saidAfrican-American Literature with professor Ladrica Menson-Furr wasthe highlight of their academic career.

"The professor drew her students into her lessons, and her ownpersonal experiences really added to the class," said Smith.

Of course, all graduates also have their least favoritememories.

"I will have to say night classes were not my favorite aspect ofcollege life," said Anu Adeosun, senior biology major.

Despite how good the past few years have been for manygraduates, pet peeves still linger.

Laroco and senior English major Melissa McCrory both saidparking is their No. 1 pet peeve of The University.

"The Central parking lot is the worst," said McCrory.

Along with parking pet peeves, some other intersections aroundcampus were cited by some students as the least favorite spots oncampus.

The intersection of Walker and Southern along the railroadtracks is a problem for Smith.

"You are never supposed to stop at railroad tracks," saidSmith.

However, the new McWherter Library is a prized spot for severalstudents.

"Outside in front of the library is by far my favorite," saidMcCrory.
