Thanks, University:
It was all worth it
Sometime this afternoon I'll fin
ish taking my last final of college,
the conclusion of five years' worth
of studying, cramming, playing,
partying and working.
It's easy to reflect on college with
a bad taste lingering, especially
when the real world beckons, and
even more so if you're supposed to
head into the great wide open with
no job in sight.

Of chief concern
Fortunately, I've got two intern
ships lined up that should take me to
Christmas, then I'll have the opportu
nity to join the ranks of the panic
happy graduates in the Class of2004.
Some people will leave the
University this year, and every year,
complaining of what they didn't get
— knowledge, friends, experience —
or what they didn't have — love,
fun, time.
I leave the University with no
complaints. Everything I've done in
my life has played a role in getting
me to where I am today, and I am
happy with where I stand. Therefore,
it seems only appropriate to reflect
on the things that have prepared me
for life after college.
Foremost, I have learned that it's
important to choose carefully those
whom you live with. I have had
something like 50 different room
mates in five years, starting first with
a messy dorm-mate who was hardly
ever around but always left little
reminders that he did pay rent, such
as taking the phone off the charger
or leaving garbage from Hammy's.
But, that roommate also opened
me up to one of the most important
decisions of my life — joining a fra
ternity. I am a Kappa Sigma, will be
'till the day I die. Being in a fraterni
ty taught me so many things: How
to be a leader, how to be a team
player, how to (effectively and inef
fectively) confront others, how to
drink like a fish, and how to live in
the most unbearable of conditions
yet still love every minute of it.
Thanks for the memories Tydes,
Cush, Jonny R., Cage, Kinger,
Moose, Chin, D-Mac, Wild,
Mershon, Jaws, Keymo, Medic,
Smooth and everyone else with and
without nicknames.
Thanks to all the teachers out there
who challenged me, and thanks to
those who didn't. Grade inflation
does exist, friends, so it's up to you to
make the most out of college. Many
thanks to the two professors in the J
school who helped me realize that I
am indeed a newspaper man: John
Russial and Dean Rea.
To all the great people in the
Emerald office, thank you. Thanks to
the two people who used to ream
me when I first started working here,
Darren Freeman and Jeremy Lang.
They taught me how to be a better
writer and, though I didn't know it
