To those not here: Ashni Dalal, my membership to the clique and AZN love; Dylann Croteau, the Morbid Cannibals and my love; Alex Obiol, Mock Trial and UGA love; Elizabeth Aiken, a promise to visit and my love; Kylen, fricken' nurd; Lana, T.V.

To Jenna, Kevin, Chris, and Steven – the RCs that treated me as one of their own – I leave my gratitude and my love. I sincerely cannot thank you enough.

To my amazing instructors and TAs, I give you the fact that your teachings haven't gone to waste.

To anyone and everyone I did not mention, I give my apologies and the rest of my love.

To simply everyone, some words meant for you: TIP changed me in ways I never thought possible. There are people I cannot imagine not meeting that I have found here at what I consider home. TIP has given me so much: four years of opportunity, change, love, and family. So I guess what I'm trying to give is thanks. Thanks for everything. Sincerely this has been the time of my life. And if you're reading this with one or two more years left, cherish each minute you have; whether it's during early bedtime, dawgfest, freetime, in the classroom, walking to Tate, or the Last Night. You can't waste time; you can only spend it wisely.

And as per tradition, the BackDorm Boys and the Fourth Year Hat will be passed down during the fourth year speeches."
