I had the pleasure of attending the first Asa Gray picnic of the year. The activity was supposed to be held at Utica College’s Rose Garden from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm on September thirtieth, but it regrettably was rained out, and the event was instead held in the Donahue Auditorium at the same time and on the same day. I had a lot of fun at this activity, and I look forward to attending more Asa Gray meetings in the future due to this event.

I love animals, and I stopped to watch the turtles swim, and they were adorable! The snacks were incredible as well. I had a few muffins and chips, as well as a packet of grape Kool-Aid, which I haven’t had the pleasure of drinking in quite a long time. My favorite part was talking to other science majors, and I was overjoyed to juggle
