Looking Back on NCAAs // by Catherine

My absolute favorite part of NCAAs was the moment right after Pallavi's goal in the finals. I screamed so hard no sound even came out and started crying all at the same time! It was the moment I knew we were going to win and I will never forget that amazing feeling and how proud I was of our team!!

The End of an Era // by Monica

Big Splash has historically been one of the more fun games of our season. It’s a big rivalry game, but what made it even more special this year was that is was the same night as our Senior Night! Before the game started, Cassie, Pallavi, Alyssa and I were introduced to the crowd as the four members of the SWWP senior class and each of us had a short bio read about what we’ve done at Stanford and what we plan to do next year. The coolest statistic announced was my class’s game record, 99-9 (which is now 101-9). I have to admit that I completely forgot about Senior Night while I was playing the game until the last few minutes of the game when JT subbed all four of us in to finish together our last home game.

After the game was over, our team and families went down to the Old Pro for dinner. At dinner we continued the tradition (that started my freshman year) of the freshmen class performance in honor of the seniors. The five freshman sang personalized lyrics about us to the tune of ‘Boyfriend,’ and Call Me Maybe.’ To make the night even better, Melissa, the fifth member of our class, was able to make it up here for the day!

Unlike other Senior Nights in the past, Cassie, Pallavi, Alyssa, and I are lucky because we didn’t have to say goodbye to playing games in Avery quite yet… because our MPSF tournament is this weekend at none other than our very own Avery Aquatic Center!! ((*Hint… You should be there*)) I’m looking forward to our real Senior Night, April 29th, the final day of MPSFs!

Picture Perfect // by Kaitlyn

Fashion photography is one of my main hobbies. I absolutely love taking photos of people, I love the fact that everyone is diverse and beautiful in their own unique way. Over spring break I was lucky enough to find my camera again and revive this hobby, which I have long been deprived of. So this past Tuesday I begged Kaley to be my model and come out with me on a photo shoot for fun. We picked out clothing, make-up, scenes (taken here at Stanford at Roth, where Kaley lives). We thought it would only take us about an hour...but we were having so much fun, that 3 hours and 350 photos later we finished. Here are a few of my favorites, hope you enjoy! Also I hope this inspires everyone to remember that hobby that they love doing and revive it, it's spring, so be happy and do the things you love!

Fun Facts // by Alexis

In honor of finishing finals, here is a list of "fun" facts I learned from each of my winter quarter classes:

Bio Lab- Yeast cultures grow best upside down

Physics- Double rainbows (all the way across the sky!) are caused by light reflecting twice inside raindrops (This guy thinks this is awesome! --> Double Rainbow)

Physics Lab- You can shine laser pointers through jello

Human Physiology- Mnemonic to remember the order of the respiratory system: No Place Like The Bay Area = Nose, Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchiles, Alveoli

Community Health Psychology- "1 in every 4 childhood fatalities are caused by horseback riding." Now I understand why my parents never let me take up riding!

Can't wait to find out what new fun facts I pick up this quarter!!
