"I'm hardly ever on campus"
Dublin Core
Description
This text message conversation, between Lauren Sado and Gabby Mosley, is a conversation in which Lauren and Gabby discuss an event.
The submitter provided the following about the artifact’s history:
This is a screenshot of a group message between myself and my two freshman roommates. The messages are all blue since it is a group text using iMessage. The messages shown are only between me and one of the roommates as the other roommate was in class when I sent the original message. I sent a text in our group text we started freshman year when we all shared a dorm. I texted my old roommates because I was at the President’s Ice Cream Social and I was asking if either of them were there too. That got us to talk about how we missed seeing each other every day and attending the on campus events together.
