It's been weeks since Commencement - the U and I are clearly through. The University of Minnesota has clearly moved on; she's already found another 15,000 students and has likely forgotten my student ID number altogether. Now she just sends me letters demanding her stuff back. Well, University, I'll go ahead and say it: I still love you! You and your dreamboats are breaking my heart.
I loved college. All the way from registration to textbooks to the feeling after sliding a possibly disastrous final paper under my professor's door. I loved it all. Through college I have learned more than I ever could have learned on my own. And I've come out of it only more excited to keep learning. I am endlessly thankful for the opportunities to work with such amazing professors and I know that my life is better for it. College is the best decision I have made for myself. It's been painful and wonderful and I'm so glad for every day of my college experience. I will miss it so much!
Even more than college, I am going to miss my co-CEO. In the last two years, we have suffered and giggled and been embarrassed together almost everyday (embarrassed together, damnit!). We remedied painful classroom experiences with cupcakes, and discussed our love for school over wonderful lunches. Needless to say, I likely wouldn't have survived college life without her. Quynh has left Minneapolis to hook up with a much hairier and smellier Seattle. I'm very happy for her and sure she will find friends and fruits everywhere.
Quynh, I love you.
