Andy: You brought me into this house, and I could not thank you enough. Thank you for being a mentor and a friend throughout this year. I truly appreciate all you’ve done. The DO will not be the same without you.

Mike Escalante: We could not do what we do without you constantly helping over slack. Thank you for making computers for us, pushing every splash page, and for being the tech man behind Slack. I truly appreciate the support you have given the digital section over the years.

Aro: I still haven’t forgiven you for rejecting my formal invite.

Gabe: Please I beg of you learn how to embed a photo. I am so proud of you Gabe, you have come a long way but seriously it’s not that hard.

Nick: Your slacks aren’t funny.

Jordan: Thank you for pushing me this semester. I’m so proud of the digital projects we did. You have a drive like no one else. See you at Flip next semester. 

Kaci: I am going to miss having someone to gossip with over Slack. Whether its updates on long road trips, or just letting me know what stupid things are going on upstairs. Have fun in NYC. I’ll keep you updated on what’s going on downstairs.

Susie: Suse! You bring a light to digital like no one else. So proud of you. Let me know when you and Eliza are stirring up trouble. I’m always a text away.

Anna: First, I hope we gave you some quality content for your study. Second, thank you for being the tea queen and for always being you. Have fun in France!

Dabbundo: Even though you are a fake friend I still love you. Thank you for the late-night chats and for not hitting on my sister.

Haley: I’m so excited to see what you do next semester. Thank you for being the kind soul you are. <3

Kennedy: BEAN!!! Thank you for giving me the best advice (even though I have broken your one rule). I love you so much and I can’t wait to see you next Palooza for round 2.

Molly: Hey roomie. Even though you have the uncanny ability to say things that automatically put me in an awkward situation, I for some reason am very excited to live with you. You are unbelievably talented, and I am so thankful the DO introduced us. Hit me up if you need more sources.

Bridget: I cannot put into words how thankful I am that I met you. You welcomed me into 744 and into your literal home and have always been there when I needed someone. Thank you beyond belief. I love you.

Sam: I still don’t know why you hired some random girl for a social media job but I could not thank you enough. I have never met someone who is more inspiring to a group of people the way you are to the people of 744. Thank you for the endless advice (chaotic or professional), for always answering my stupid journalism questions, and for all you do. Stay sick and dope my friend. See you in the Southern Tier.

Aishwarya: I am so in awe of you. I will appreciate this semester with you always. Thank you for constantly being there for everyone and killing the game constantly. You have helped me grow as a person so much this semester and  I will forever be grateful for that. 

Talia: We did it and we didn’t kill each other. Thank you for being my work wife and being the most amazing partner in crime. I am so excited to see what you do as PD. I love you babe. Keep on killing the game.

McCleary: The cheesy jokes made the late nights (and the early nights) that much more bearable. Thanks for the HIMYM education and for playing “Scotty Doesn’t Know” at the most appropriate times. Stay in touch!

KJ: I would not have gotten through this semester without you. Thank you for making stupid videos with me, going on endless food runs, calling me at 2:00 am thinking the website is down, and for picking me up when I need it most. I love you best friend. I know you’ll do great things next semester

Mackenzie: From EEE to Accounting to digital, you always make my day better. Thanks for always being there through breakdowns, happy moments, and for being my best friend. I am so proud and impressed by everything you do. I love you always, and I promise to continue the crazy texts for the rest of our lives.

Stephanie + Lora: Thank you for supporting me in all my endeavors. I owe everything to you both. Thank you for being the most amazing bosses and mentors.

744: You came into my life just when I needed you. I would not have made it through this year without you.
