Wittinger, fellow seniors expect emotional send-off

CHAMPAIGN — Late-night movies and impromptu dance-offs.

The videos still exist from these freshman year get-togethers when Jaelyne Kirkpatrick, Cierra Rice and Alex Wittinger lived together at Illini Tower.

Even now, four years later, the three of them will watch those videos from time to time, recalling the fun they had.

"It's crazy when I think about how that was four years ago, time has gone by so quick," Kirkpatrick said. "We were such goofballs back then."

Wittinger echoed Kirkpatrick's sentiments: "Wow, that used to be us," the Delano, Minn., native remembers thinking when she last watched one of those videos.
