To Jake, thanks for always giving me shit, and knowing that I loved every minute of it. You're so inappropriate, and that's why you're gonna do great next year. I can't wait to read more of your front-page articles at The Journal News.

Katie, you were my partner in crime this year, and I think Life was a success. Caitlin gave us a great template, but we really made the section our own. Thanks for always understanding me, and getting drunk with me at Ocean City. When we partner up, we can take on the world.

Mosheh, this thank you is personal and professional, and we are so good at blending the two. Thanks for bringing me to the '04 SA elections and making me feel like you believed I had talent, when you really just believed I was cute. Thank you for always supporting me, no matter what, and teaching me that communication is truly an art form. Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on, and offering me every bit of advice you can muster. You inspire greatness.

Sasha, we have gone to school together for 17 years. Hot damn. I've missed you this year, but I know we're gonna live it up in New York (you're going). Together we embody mayhem, and I love you for that.

Salar and Matt, my favorite men in this city. You guys always put a smile on my face.

To my beloved wifey Sarah, you have been my best friend these last four years, through and through. I can't even fathom a college experience without you. You are an amazingly strong and intelligent woman, and I can't thank you enough for always being my pillar of strength and premier rationalizer. In you, I have found a lifelong friend.

Mom, Dad and Josh, you three are the best at putting up with my big mouth. There is not enough room here to profess how much I love you, and appreciate your endless support.

With that, I've somehow managed to eke out a goodbye to The Hatchet. I hope I didn't bore you too much along the way, and I hope I let everyone know just how much I loved working at this paper. I am damn proud to say I had a small part in this important operation. Working here is the only reason I am ready to go out there and become the next Lois Lane.

At the end of these 30 inches, it seems appropriate to quote R.E.M. just one more time. It may be trite, but they really put it best.

"It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine."
