    \n
  1. The sights and sounds of Art Building West.<\/strong> I know I\u2019ve pitched for ABW before, but it\u2019s easily my favorite spot on campus, so why not?! I love sitting outside for a couple minutes (when it’s warm of course) and eating lunch or relaxing. It’s quiet, scenic and serene, all of which make this building a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of the rest of campus.\n
  2. An Iowa football game.<\/strong> There\u2019s something magical about getting to cheer on the Hawkeyes with 70,000 other Iowa fans. I was immediately hooked on Iowa football after my very first game my freshman year, and I\u2019ve been getting season tickets ever since.\n

  3. Something new.<\/strong> This is pretty vague, but it\u2019s super important to try something completely different at one point or another. I attended Grapple on the Gridiron, the wrestling team\u2019s outdoor match at Kinnick Stadium this year. The event was a lot of fun, and I got to be a part of a crowd that shattered the NCAA record for attendance at a Division I wrestling match. I\u2019ll admit that I knew nothing about wrestling before I went, but I had a good time, and I think I’ll attend more matches in the future.\n

  4. A sunset or sunrise on the Pentacrest.<\/strong> I admittedly haven\u2019t experienced either yet, though I\u2019ve been pretty close. So hopefully one of these days I\u2019ll be able to cross this off my to-do list.<\/li>\n
  5. Stargazing at Van Allen Hall.<\/strong> Did you know Van Allen has a rooftop observatory? The observatory is open to university students a couple days a week, and I’d highly recommend taking advantage of this resource. I attended an event here for the supermoon eclipse back in September and I will definitely be back for stargazing sometime. The views of the sky and Iowa City are great!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
