Singing under the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center with my best friends.
Seeing the college on its feet, giving us a standing O, after my first concert.
Watching the sun come up after initiation.
Games of "Truth or Dare" that became "Spin the Bottle."
Football-game road trip in the party van with the keg in the back.
Feeling that I was in the best possible place in the world for me.
Dispensing soft serve onto cookies, brownies, cake, and bowls of Cap'n Crunch.
Streaking in January, at midnight, for Primal Scream.
Wearing a black dress, platform heels, and glitter eye shadow to step on stage.
Singing the line "Having the time of your life" in the song Dancing Queen and thinking, this IS the time of my life!
