Senior Reflection: Michael Evans

I have my regrets: classes skipped, tests that went unstudied for, and maybe the several hundreds of hours of Super Smash Brothers that I played with my wing (still not sure about that one). It isn’t like those things keep me up at night, though. My time at the Academy is the highlight of my life so far; any regrets that I have about it are minuscule in comparison to its myriad positives.

I never had a dull moment while I was there. I ran the Film Club, traveled overseas, went skiing, took a guitar class, and participated in too many other activities to list. To me, though, the most enjoyable and important part of my two years living in Florence Schneider Hall was that I socialized to an extent there that I never had at my old school. Because of the way that everything was set up, I was constantly surrounded by people with similar interests and personalities to my own. From long conversations about movies, religion, relationships, and stand-up comedy, to the late nights playing Smash Bros. (definitely not a regret now that I think about it) and frantically searching for pizza change, my time with my friends is (and probably always will be) the most cherished part of my Gatton experience.
