1. When we considered starting a drinking game with all of the buzzwords.

2. When VP Student Life candidate Deepak Sharma didn’t hesitate to start throwing shade.

3. And when he got called out for it.

4. When the VP External Relations candidates all treated each other with respect and support.

5. And ended up seeming inseparable — both as friends and candidates.

6. They didn’t help themselves to fix it.

7. When VP External Relations candidate Karan Thukral removed his hoodie to reveal a shirt with student demands written all over it. Literally.

8. When current SFSS President Chardaye Bueckert just kept talking about the tax workshop.

14. When everyone in the room felt those warm fuzzies.

15. When a young girl brought us back to what it was all about.

16. When things got heavy.

17. And Presidential candidate Johnny Aether turned things back around.

18. Then stole the audience’s hearts with a tale of his personal struggles.

19. When, five hours in, the candidates led the audience in an impromptu dance party.

20. When Bueckert missed the tax clinic.

21. When Dion Chong asked a questions and it became clear that everyone loves him.
