Before heading into Spring quarter we had already heard each other’s names at the beginning of the academic year with only meeting once. We ran into each other in a class we shared (anatomy) with a professor known for her difficulty. Garrett offered me a piece of gum every day, then we moved from gum to phone numbers, and phone numbers to studying together for our shared tests. From study buddies to friends and friends to much more, we continue to credit our professor for making the tests so difficult that I “needed” Garrett’s help on the tests.
