Inspiration

During the first week of school our group was lucky enough to find each other. We were the first people we met on campus and became closer as the days passed. Wondering how this happened, we realized it was mainly due to our interests. However, looking around it seemed our group was an exception. Illinois Street Residence did not have many friend groups, with most people sitting alone. We seek to fix this with Bubbles.
