Maybe 3 of the 4 minutes of the totality were obscured by clouds unfortunately, but it heightened the tension. Everyone lost their minds when the clouds actually moved out of the way.

I was at the science building courtyard and we all laid on the grass, my friends and I, it was really fun … The atmosphere of everyone watching it together … was really cool.

It was honestly a lot more intense than I expected. I was bit scared because of the cloud coverage. It was a lot better to experience it in person than to see it on TV. It was a surprisingly good place to meet new people.

I almost missed [the eclipse] because I was getting Panda Express. I just think it’s cool that we got to witness an event … and it happened to be right over campus, so that was a real eye-opening experience.
