Goodbye for now, Academia.

*sigh*

The critical step toward enlightenment is the realization that you don't actually know shit about anything, and what little you think you do know or believe may very well in all probability be wrong. For that, I thank you, UCSD.

For all the worldly and unworldly things experienced and opportunities missed, for all the triumphs and frustrations, for all the parties and lack thereof, for all the frantic all-nighters and subsequent indefinite periods of comatose, and for all the missed breakfasts and nutritional abominations had at ungodly hours.

But most of all, thank you for being my friend, and for all the awesome platonic hilarities and painfully awkward social situations, no matter how well or little I knew you, or how long we've been out of touch.

Thank you, last 4 years of my life, for all the sweet and encouraging and embarrassing and traumatic memories that I am sure will continue to make me smile and develop Tourette's Syndrome whenever I remember them for decades to come.

I'm going to cry now.
