Mentor - Mentee Ice Cream Social
by Amruta Deshpande

What? Free Ice-Cream!?! 'Twas true! If you're an SPS mentor or mentee, that is you either signed up to show a freshman or sophomore a few ropes around physics, or you are such a freshman or sophomore, SPS decided to pay for your ice-cream at Gainesville's Mom n' Pop, Homemade Ice Cream Shop - Sweet Dreams. On Friday, February 17th, mentor-mentee pairs and singletons gathered at Sweet Dreams to mix, mingle and be treated to ice cream.

As usual, there was an assortment of new and colorful flavors. That Friday featured flavors, Crème Brulee and Guinness. There was also a full section of sorbets and Italian ices for those vegans and lactose intolerants among us, in a variety of flavors from bright berries, to white coconut.

Over these cool, creamy sweets, people shared a pleasant evening. While some mentored, others joked, and others still, solved physics problems. Whether you were glad to have found out something useful, had a good laugh, or solved something that your scalp was losing skin over, you were glad to be there. So socialize, share your wisdom and good ideas, become a mentor or a mentee, and SPS might continue to provide you with delightful fora such as Sweet Dreams.
