Favorite Things About the Club: I really enjoy and appreciate the spirit of the club, and how everyone is pushing themselves in one way or another to accomplish something that is meaningful to them. I also enjoy having conversations about the most outlandish topics imaginable as well as the endless debates on sports. At the end of the day, I like how there's something to look forward to every day with run club.

Anything Else the Club Should Know: Since Connor bashed the state of Michigan, I will talk about how great it is. The state of Michigan is by far the greatest state in the US as well as the world. The word "Michigander" is basically synonymous with "wealthy cool smart person". When someone who doesn't live in Michigan thinks about it, their first thought is probably "dang, I wish I live there". Michigan is elite by every metric known to man. No other state is cool enough to have two peninsulas. No other state is handily shaped like a hand, allowing you to point to where you're from with ease. The only possible downsides to the state are its proximity to Ohio, as well as UofM. However, these few negatives are tremendously dwarfed by the sheer greatness of the state. In conclusion, the state of Michigan > everyone else.
