That’s been my goal.” "Since I'm an international student, I’m trying to find a job in the U.S. Since they changed the visa laws in the U.S., I only have 30 days after graduation to find a job. I'm flying to New York for interviews. If I don’t find one, I’ll stick around and enjoy the summer." Marc Remshardt architecture major “Pm going to travel in Mia for a year before goingto g-aduate school.” "Pm moving to Seattle and working at Nordstrom. Pm a manager for a cosmetics line.” Ariana Schwartz art major Jodi Greene journalism major “I'm applying for the Pacific University’s Eugene campus teachers program, which is for future teachers; and Pm goingto try to get work, but it’s pretty hard to get work right now.” Steve Unfred intemahonai studies major Rosie Qssmann psychology major All students featured are graduating this spring or summer. Read, listen, leam from your friends It's that time in my college career when I have spent enough over worked and underpaid hours working for the campus newspaper that I have rightfully earned one of the coveted graduation columns. OK, not exactly coveted, but never theless, I have a few quick hits to get out in my final days at the University of Hippie, er, Oregon. Mindi Rice The girl and the game First of all, for a girl who was voted "Most School Spirit" in high school, it is hard to stay neutral as a sports writer. The worst of it was during my two springs as the softball beat re porter. Two years of watching the Ducks do a complete 180-degree turnaround with their program was hard not to enjoy, even from the press box. If football and basketball crowds are too much for you, but you're inter ested in supporting an Oregon team, I definitely recommend going out to a softball game next spring. Support head coach Kathy Arendsen; pitcher and senior-to-be Ani Nyhus; all the amazingly funny, personable and quotable returning players and a crop of new talent in their 2005 campaign. The third Lime's the charm. To all the journalism majors, I am going to repeat advice given by a for mer Emerald staffer last June — Take a class from Dean Rea! He is the best professor I have had the pleasure of learning ffom at our beloved J-school. Coming in a close second is Kathy Campbell, so I highly recommend taking a dass ffom her as well. To everyone, read something. Be it the Emerald, the Insurgent, the Ore gon Commentator — any and/or all of them. You don't haye Lo be loyal to. one. During my Emerald time, the Commentator provided me with many laughs — at my employer's ex pense, no doubt — as well as good blogger banter (mene). Next, be good to your local baristas or food-service workers, from Star bucks to Common Grounds. They (we) work hard to make what you or der so they (we) can pay rent. If you're a regular, be friendly, especially if they (we) learn your drink order! Mad ku dos to all the baristas — especially Aaron, Mike and Thom — at the Star bucks on East 13th Avenue. You all were good to me for two years, and 1 appreciated every smile and correctly guessed drink order. Make something a routine — drinks with friends, an exercise pro gram, a fun class each term, even the weekly performances of Oregon's amazing a capella groups On the Rocks and Divisi. These two groups get considerably less love than they deserve. Both went to the regional semifinals and, from what I hear, Di visi was robbed of a trip to the Inter national Championship of Colle giate A Capella. Many weeks ended with smiles and laughter at the antics of either OTR or Divisi. It was much appreciated, guys and gals — I enjoyed being there every week as much as you all seemed to enjoy performing. My Friday after noons will never be the same again. Last but not least, let all the friends you find introduce you to something new. My list includes raves, country music, long and pointless drives, be ing girly, college proms and disc golf to name a few. Now we do this goodbye thing that I've never been good at. So I'll just wrap it up with a fond farewell to every place and person that made my stay in Eugene into an amazing four years. Whoever it was that said high school is the best years of your life was clearly mistaken, college is a million times better. And that's all she wrote.
