GRADUATES-TO-BE ON THE STREET:
What are your plans after graduation?
“I'm going to go to Portland
and get a job working with
people with disabilities. 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

“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.”

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.
