Favorite Gator Moment:
"My favorite Gator memory was the day of my last final exam at UF. My apartment was directly across from the 34th Street wall, and as I was
pulling out of the complex, I saw that my best friend, my boyfriend (who is now my husband) and another friend had painted a "congratulations"
message for me. My best friend and my boyfriend had both already graduated from UF and moved away so I knew that they must have snuck
back into town to paint the wall in the middle of the night."
