Susan Prunka Polaski ’77 celebrates 50 years of friendship

I became friends with Eileen, Laurie and Nancy first semester freshman year. Over the course of two years, we were suite mates (in Dorm D it was called then), and then roommates at the apartments (23A). We remain friends to this day, 50 years later. Nancy, Laurie and I were heartbroken to lose Eileen nine years ago, but she will be in our hearts forever. <3 We have many memories while at Quinnipiac (the Rat, May weekends, Billy Joel concert, mixers esp the Halloween ones!) We had different majors, so weren't in many classes together, but living together made us friends for life. So many others, other roommates and friends - Beth, Jim, Mary, Donna M, Sue M, Linda - with whom we also have fun memories, and we also stayed in touch all these years. We are all blessed!

Kimberly Poeta ’00 and Michelle Schreyer ’00: Lifelong friends from Q

Kimberly Poeta ’00 writes: "Michelle Schreyer ’00, I call her Shell, is that best friend that I didn’t know I needed in my life. We knew each other freshman year with similar friends but we were not close, not for any reason, just busy! Our friend group decided we would all room together sophomore year in Larson! One afternoon, Shell cornered me in the library and said “if we are going to be roommates next year, we might as well be friends.” This when I knew I had found my match, and she wasn’t from Long Island with these words lol…. From here on out, Shell was my ride or die, we’ve both been through highs and lows in life. Through it all, I’m so thankful for Quinnipiac bringing me my life long friend. Love u Shell."
