What are you most looking forward to doing with your social?
Abby: I’m so freaking excited to hang with my future homies at Social sleepovers! They are so much fun and one of the coolest ways to get to know one another. I’m also a BIG movie gal so I can’t wait to bond over Harry Potter and Marvel movies!! (Ben and I need to rewatch Endgame with the kids ASAP). I know that we are going to have the BEST freshmen ever and I’m so pumped to build friendships and family with the class of 2023!
Ben: Oh man, there is so much that I am looking forward to! I can’t wait to hang out on campus at MSC Mondays and all the awesome events. I also can’t wait for all the food that we are going to consume together that is going to be amazing!! Words can’t describe how much I am ready to get my kids and get to know them I already know they will be the best!
What do you want your social to know about you?
Abby wants her social to know that we are always here and that they should never be afraid to reach out! We have been where they are and know what it’s like to be facing this huge new step in life. We are only a call or text away, whether you need someone to celebrate with or just a shoulder to cry on! Ben and I are so excited to help our kids grow through PREP and be fun parents for a home away from home. Also get ready to be a GECK because Ben is the coolest funnest bestest dad and we’re going green in the best way EVER!!! Ben wants his social to know Abby and him are both super excited to be working together this year and to be y’alls Social parents! We are going to do our best to not only help you guys with whatever you need academically and professionally, but also want to be there for you in all the ups and downs of your freshman year, just like our Social parents were there for us. This is going to be the best year ever and you are going to absolutely meet your best friends if you would just show up to things before late November...speaking from experience here!
Describe each other in one word.
Abby is Warmhearted
Ben is Compassionate
What is your favorite thing to do with your partner?
Ben: Going to the drive in zoo and marvel at all of the amazing animals (except for the large birds...never the large birds). We both LOVE hiking!! We also love watching blockbuster movies of the century at a drive in where there are two 8 year olds blocking half the screen and you can’t hear Iron Man tell his daughter that he loves her 3000, I’M NOT MAD YOU’RE MAD...
Abby: Ben! My favorite thing was going to Muck N Fuss with you and the gang and eating all of the amazing foods and then (partially?) seeing the biggest cinematic reveal of 2019. (I’m the only one that cried when Black Widow died it's fine) You are always the best of company and make the best conversation, including when we went to the drive in zoo. We love a big fuzz!!! I can’t wait to make more memz and ~hike~ through Sophomore year with you!!
