My memories of UNO start on day one at registration

May 28

“My memories of UNO start on day one at registration. The long line at BA165 seemed forever. My older sister had previously been through the ever-popular long line for brand new freshman registration and was now able to go directly to the UC to register. To prevent her from waiting for me, I asked a couple of friendly-faced people to let me cut in front of them. As it turned out, those same friendly-faced people who did let me cut in front of them, I saw both of them at the Starlettes dance team tryouts a few weeks later! We all three made the dance team, and became very good friends over the years. I even stood in one of their weddings! And, this is just the beginning of the many great memories I have during my years studying at UNO!”
