Bidding Brockport adieu

Issue date: 5/6/09 Section: Campus Talk
With everything comes negatives and positives, and The Stylus has brought more positives than negatives for me.
People at The Stylus have also become family. Each year brings new editors and writers, but there are those with me when I joined the editorial board junior year: Amanda Seef, Sarah Fannis and Laura Luettger.
My roommates, Laura, Annie and Kelly, have also been indispensable. I was in 207 and 214 McFarlane freshman year more than my own room. We roomed together for four years (everyone thinks we are weird for not separating). They were my first friends at Brockport, and I will miss them.
Another person I'm going to sorely miss is Meghan, my best friend from Brockport. She is always ready to hear me vent about the paper or boys, and always finishes my thoughts and sentences. She also lets me bounce column ideas off her, and faithfully reads my column.
Also, my Syracuse best friend, Katie. I don't get to see her as often as I like, but we always pick up where we left off. She is one of the few people I know who will listen and never judge.
I would feel a little guilty if I didn't mention my family, especially my two sisters. I wish everyone could have "rocks" like them, and I couldn't ask for a better or more caring support system.
The last time I felt sentimental like this was at high school graduation. But, this graduation is different because I have made a home here. It's going to be hard to leave Brockport, but we have to do it.
I guess my mom was right - college has been the best time of my life, so underclassmen, cherish your remaining years. They will never come back.
Well, this is my final babble. I hoped you enjoyed the paper this year, because I sure did. Peace out, Girl Scout - tomorrow's gonna come too soon.
