Meet Joe and Tim. These two senior hockey players not only have great personalities, but they have GPA’s that are just as great. The smart and funny best buds have been roommates for 4 years straight. How they did it? Literally who knows! While they are crazy and potentially might make you fall off of your dinosaur laughing we think they are worth getting to know while they’re still on the hill! (Yes, they are literally still on the hill, Go Figgee!)
