Sixteen Degrees to Reality

First day of no responsibilities and I find myself hesitantly cleaning up the past year’s papers. I see media law cases, and decide to keep them. I throw away Film Theory’s handouts (one semester seems like one year ago) and I tuck J. Ariola’s essay on Arthurian legend inside my drawer. Half of our survey questionnaires from our thesis are happily shredded and thrown into the big plastic I labeled "BURN IMMEDIATELY."

Here’s to the people you swore you’d never get along with and suddenly become your best friends.

Here’s to professors who brought us down. We would never learn how to stand up.

Here’s to every fight we had over thesis, papers, projects…

To every tear, to every time we broke down.

Here’s to the fun times we had, the few moments when we didn’t care about deadlines. Here’s to Scuzzy, to Tapsi, To 1611, to Ron Bau’s house and my own.

Here’s to friendship, hypocrisy, victories and disappointments.
