We met in the lobby of Aaron's dorm (Manzanita) a few days before our freshman year started. Jai lived in a different building, but had happened to meet someone who lived not only in the same building as Aaron, but also on the same floor. After the initial meet up, we ended up in a mutual group of friends and things progressed from there. We spent our freshman year together playing pool in the lounge, eating together in the dining halls, and studying together in common rooms.
