Question: What was the craziest thing that happened to you over winter break?

Jean Walish nursing junior

"My family eats pickled herring, and the more you eat, the more money you make in the new year. Over the break, I got my wisdom teeth out and I fell asleep and had blood coming out of my mouth. So this year, instead of eating 12 different slices, I only ate a little one."

pre-business freshman

"I'm a new student and, coming to the UA for the first time over the break, I was shocked because there were so many students who had a lot of piercings and tattoos. It was very interesting for me because I came from Korea and had never seen these kinds of people."

Shawnika Hull Communication senior

"I started the first day of a new job at a car rental place and I swear to God, I thought it was an emergency room. I walked in and everyone was running around ö I nearly wet myself. I was scared to death."

Marialine Bennen journalism senior

"My mom was taking the Christmas tree down, and she yelled for help from across the house. I came running into the room and slipped on a plastic bag. I fell down on the floor, both legs went up and I got a big bruise on my side. Eventually, after about 10 minutes of laughing, the tree came down."
