And even more love to Joe, Josh, and Min for letting me make your apartment my second home. Thanks for all the food, laughs, movies, food, small groups, talks, food, and love. Last night Joe's cousin, Steve, made a comment in reference to me and the senior guys. I don't remember what he said exactly, but Josh's response was, "What're you talking about? We did a good job taking care of her [meaning me] this year." And as offhand as that comment may have been, it touched me because (at the risk of sounding cliche) they really took me under their wing this year. And I must admit they did a damn good job of being older seniors who were like my brothers but at the same time were my peers, my friends. I didn't think that I would become such close friends with them, but life is always full of pleasant surprises. And when second semester started I was feeling uneasy about hanging out with the seniors because I was sacrificing time with the friends my year, and these seniors would be leaving in a few months. But I'm glad I did hang out with them as much as I did because it was well worth it. I really can't imagine what my year would have been like without them.

Next year will be sad. One, I'll need to make new friends. Two, I need to find another second home to feed me. And three, I'll miss them to pieces. Graduation really is bittersweet. Because as sad as I am to see them go, I'm so happy for them. They deserve it and I know their futures only have good things for them.

Congratulations!
