A year ago and after moving into our first apartment, my roommate and I went grocery shopping for ourselves for the first time. I pointed how new we were to doing this for ourselves and how obvious that must have been to the other shoppers. We were the stereotypical college students used to dining hall food and the cooking at home, unused to and inexperienced with living on our own. He found this especially hilarious, laughing uncontrollably, which, as I pointed out, must have made it even more obvious. Somehow, we survived that summer.

This is one of many memories I will always cherish.

Rest in peace, Austin Hudson-LaPore.
