July 2025. Overdue Lab Party, and farewell to Manasi Natu.
Notable highlights included Manasi and Bliss innovating with double-paddle ping pong, Amanda and Angela continuing their reign as billiards champions, a very janky Jenga performance, and what may have been the longest game of Uno in recorded history.

Xinmin shows off her sharp-shooting strategy: 1 eye closed. It seems to work every time!
All smiles even after Amanda runs the table. We think she's secretly a pool shark in addition to being a master cook & a medal-winning swimmer!
