Today marks a month to graduation (and the excitement, nervousness, and nostalgia that goes with that). This time will fly and is jammed packed, as you know. So in addition to meeting all of your obligations (hint, hint), make time for quality friend time and to just take it all in. There's no slowing down this sprint to the finish line now, so enjoy every day. Share lots of wonderful simple moments with each other. Also, make the time to say thank you to your friends for being there for you through thick and thin. Make time to say thank you to those faculty members that have impacted your life in little and great ways during your time on the Island. Make time to say thank you to your families for being there, for the gift of Loomis, for cheering you on, and for loving you (in all your "youness") when you needed it most.
I know you are feeling that itch to move on and that just means you're getting ready to say goodbye and to start a new chapter in your life. You can be ready and you can be sad to go. The two do not have to be mutually exclusive. Do whatever you have left to do here, so you have no regrets. May these last 30 days be filled with lots of laughter, friendship, and memory making. I wish you all a fabulous final month on the Island.
All the best,
Dean Sasser
