Those are the things from Ole Miss that will stay with you forever.Superfighters is an action-packed martial arts fighting game that puts you in the shoes of a skilled fighter battling it out against opponents in various arenas. So whether you’ve recently or long-since become an alumni, or you’re still a student at Ole Miss, cherish them, whatever they may be. Each person has their own unique little things that they hold dear. Not everyone had the exact same experience I had at Ole Miss. I went out of my way to drive through campus just to reminisce on the great times I’ve spent at this magical university. I went to the Union to buy a drink I didn’t need just to walk past the Grove. I took the long way to class on a nice day just to walk past the Phi Mu fountain. It just goes to show that it really is the little stuff that sticks with you.Įver since it hit me back in May that my time in Oxford was running out, every second there be-came sacred to me.

But at the end of the day, it’s the little things within those big things that I’ll miss the most. I’ll obviously miss football, baseball, campus itself, the Square and the Grove. The lifelong friends I’ve made like Alex, Tyler, Will, Jake, Chamm and Dan. My girlfriend, Bailey, is cemented at the absolute top of the list. Throughout the summer I did a lot of reflecting as to what the real factors are that will make me miss Ole Miss as much as I will as I head off to law school for the next chapter of my life.
