🌪️ Tech Personas, Exposed Together 🌪️

G-Body 2 felt like a reunion with a purpose.

CIS 142 was full of laughter, call-outs, and the kind of jokes you only get when you’re comfortable being honest with your people. We roasted the archetypes, crowned a few legends, and still left feeling seen, supported, and inspired. 😭⚙️

A special moment: we introduced our new Freshman Reps welcome to the family. Your energy and leadership lit up the room and reminded us why we do this.

What stood out most wasn’t the games or the crowns it was the feeling of showing up for each other. Different years, majors, and paths, but the same community: building, laughing, and making space for everyone to belong.

On to the next one. Bring your friends, your appetite, and your most unserious serious self. 💛🖤
