WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BAR NEAR UC? RESTAURANT? STORE?

WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS AT UC?

Dewey’s Pizza is the best, hands down. Not even an argument there.

Fries is a good one, lots of pool tables and outdoor space. Gilpin’s has awesome food and I like to shop at Mole’s Records.

Creative Writing: Fiction. I fi nished a whole short story, read a ton of others and got valuable feedback on my work. And editing with Penix.

Give the people what they want.

I’m a big fan of Arlin’s, Catskeller, and Roh’s when I need some co� ee.

Environmental Journalism, by far. I paddled with the chief reporter down the Mill Creek, and it was AWESOME.

Mixed feelings. Arlin’s Karaoke night should have won best venue, particularly when TNR steps up to the mic.

For good times, go to Arlin’s.

Travel Writing with Jenny Wohlfarth pretty much changed my life.

I’m at Starbucks way too frequently, so I defi nitely stand by that decision.

This is my fi rst year at Main full-time, so I haven’t visited too many shops or restaurants around campus (besides Starbucks, of course).

I agree with Katie. I loved the Creative Writing: Fiction class I took last semester. It inspired me to actually fi nish up some short stories, and I liked reading others’ work.

I’m pumped Adriaticos was fi nally able to overthrow Dewey’s for best pizza; it’s long overdue. I’m sickened by the best bar results.

Arlin’s is by far the best bar and my favorite restaurant. Martino’s is pretty good if you avoid going there on Sundays during football season.

International relations with Richard Harknett is still my favorite class, but I’m pretty sure he no longer teaches it.

I’m glad to see King Wok continuing its Chinese food dynasty.

Arlin’s is the only place I spend my money besides the E&G Market by my house.

It depends on what you’re into. I really enjoyed Intro to Shakespeare and Live at CCM but I can see other people not liking those.

Laser Tag in CCM, DAAP and/or the underground tunnels.

Graduate. Still crossing my fi ngers on that one.

Going to England and France on a study abroad trip during the summer of my freshman year.

Yep: Try to get out of bed before noon.

My time at The News Record. You won’t fi nd another group of degenerates that’s as nerdy, foul-mouthed and fun anywhere on this campus.

Yeah and it’s pretty simple: graduate.

Probably having a concert in my living room. I’ve been to a lot of house shows but never in my own home.

Grow a full and magnifi cent beard and eat Subway less.

Studying abroad was a life changer.

Always take the stairs and write a lot ... it’s the little things.

Being apart of The News Record, especially this year. I’m going to miss it so much, but I’ve made amazing memories in the past few years.

I’m trying to actually, you know, show up to class and do work. But I’m really so excited about the experiences I’m going to have this year.

WHAT WOULD YOUR FAVORITE EXPERIENCE BE DURING YOUR TIME AT UC?

ANY GOALS FOR 2014? NEW YEAR, NEW YOU?
