Here are the Senior Wills for the Class of 2016! <\/p>\n

Andrew Adams<\/a><\/span> Wise Words of Wisdom:<\/i> You only matter because you\u2019re small. <\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments: <\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To Heena Srivastava, I will you the clipboard I\u2019ve used during my senior year to organize my life. Without it, I would have never been able to do the things I did senior year. You are in an unprecedented position to make a real change on campus – to unify it, to reinvigorate it, to let people care. You\u2019ll never do the things you can – the things that I expect of you – without being uncommonly organized.<\/p>\n To Akash Palani, I will the courage necessary to make decisions quickly and make them confidently. While calmly and slowly thinking out a problem is good, sometimes the calm answer comes two weeks too late. <\/p>\n To Rongzhen Zhou, I will you the foresight necessary to lay plans that will change the actions of people one year, five years, maybe ten years into the future. In order to execute necessary changes in the IMSA community and on the LEAD team, you\u2019ll need nothing less. <\/p>\n To Chancellor Madison Dong, I will you a small collection of secrets and ideas.<\/p>\n To Chancellor Dong, Akash Palani, and Heena Srivastava, I will you all a small rubber bracelet with the words \u201cadvance the human condition\u201d written across the side. This is my bare minimum expectation of you. <\/p>\n To Jack Badalamenti, I will you The Problem of Homosexuality. It\u2019s an ancient tomb with ancient problems. Hopefully, you will be able to look at the past and decide not to repeat its mistakes.<\/p>\n To Andrew Ye, I will a small grey flash drive containing copies of everything I\u2019ve ever designed. You may not have noticed, but you have a hidden skill with designing amazing things. Maybe my experience can help, maybe it can\u2019t. But it – and myself – will always be there if you need it. <\/p>\n To George Moe, I will you a furious desire to bring a little bit more happy chaos into the world. You do so much for the community around you. Keep on doing it, never forgetting that sometimes things have to change simply because the status has been quo for too long.<\/p>\n To Alyssa Wilke, I will you what little of Drama Club I have left to will. Once upon a time, I could have willed you a board position, but I\u2019ve long since given that up. Once upon a time, I could have willed you lead roles, but you\u2019ve had more of those than me this year. What I do have to give you is a legacy of always finding yourself back in the auditorium, no matter how hard you try to leave. Enjoy the addiction. Enjoy.<\/p>\n To Jack Badalamenti, George Moe, Robert Lou, and Daniel Shin, and the rest of the 07 juniors, I will you the responsibility of being 07 Seniors. You all are the people who can decide whether 1507 is strikingly community-driven or if 1507 is merely a place to live. I hope you make the difference real. <\/p>\n To Akash Palani and Rongzhen Zhou, I will you the materials I\u2019ve collected as LEAD Co-Coordinator. Included in that collection is the sheer willpower and undying work ethic necessary to do our job well. I trust that you two will carry on the position as one of honor and respect. <\/p>\n To Heena Srivastava and Shivali Shukla, I will you the materials I\u2019ve collected as Acronym Editor-in-Chief. Included in that is the necessary patience and tenacity required to teach people how to write articles for an audience that might not exist.<\/p>\n To the 2016-2017 LEAD team, I will you the furious passion necessary to change lives. I am confident that you have the words, stories, and knowledge necessary to empower a new generation of IMSA students to change the world. That\u2019s not even mentioning the fact that you\u2019re in a position to empower each other more than anyone else on campus can. You\u2019re a team. You\u2019re a family. You\u2019re incredible.<\/p>\n Wise Words of Wisdom:<\/i> Just chill.<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To Sagar Nattuvetty, I will down quad. You\u2019ve had two years of memories made in here, and it\u2019s finally time for you to take over. I expect to hear great stories about messing with sophomores and having them sleep over in your room all the time. We\u2019ve shaped your IMSA experience a lot, and I\u2019m excited to see how well you do without the quad around. I can say without a doubt that one of the reasons my junior year was better than my sophomore year was because I had you in A-Wing. There\u2019s no words to describe how much I will miss you next year.<\/p>\n To Addison Herr, I will a junior who will make you miss your last year at IMSA. We\u2019ve had too many good memories to even begin referencing them, but I just want you to know that all of them made my senior year so much better. I know you\u2019re going to have an amazing senior year, and the fact that our quad isn\u2019t here won\u2019t stop that from happening. I will you the strength to open up to new people next year \u2013 now that you\u2019ve found your place, make it the best you can. Finally, although we did bond at the beginning of the year when you left your backpack in the main building, I additionally will you the ability to not leave your stuff everywhere.<\/p>\n To Akash Palani, I will the ability to chill. Although you may not have much free time next year, I promise you it will happen occasionally. When it does, take advantage of it. I expect great things from you and all of the things you invest your time into. Make me proud. I\u2019m glad we were able to get closer this last semester here, and I hope that we keep in touch next year. <\/p>\n To Eshan Mehrotra, I will a senior year full of knots and Cornell hoodies. We didn\u2019t talk much last year, but I\u2019m glad you came to A-Wing and became a part of Up-Quad. I envy your work ethic, but I hope you take time next year to talk to the new sophomores and tell them the stories about our quad. <\/p>\n To Alex Yow, I will a little sibling to make your time at IMSA more enjoyable. Our quad misses having you here to mess with, and I\u2019ll miss the close moments we had last year. Although we don\u2019t talk as much this year, I know you\u2019ve adapted well to living in 05, and I hope that continues to go well. I also will you the ability to actually make improvements in the gym.<\/p>\n To Sofia Rhode, I will a fun and satisfying senior year. There\u2019ll be a lot of bumps on the road, but I have faith in your ability to overcome obstacles and to carry the strength it takes to enjoy even the low points of IMSA. My last few weeks here wouldn\u2019t have been the same without you – thank you for making them so special.<\/p>\n To Jan Mangulabnan, I will two things. The first is an excellent second semester, where hopefully you can be the one barely working instead of the one working hard. The second thing I will you is an A on the partner test we failed.<\/p>\n To Tim Ramos, I will the \u201cMost 04\u201d title. You embody a lot of the great things in this hall through your ability to communicate with people and to be a bro. You were one of the first sophomores I met at the beginning of last year, and I\u2019ve really enjoyed getting to talk to you from now till then. <\/p>\n To Simon Su, I will the ability to make good choices. We had quite the adventure, but I know you took the opportunity to grow from it as a person. I\u2019m going to miss the dumb things you would say in our quad. Also, get big next year.<\/p>\n To Heena Srivastava, I will success. While I am aware that you are fully capable of achieving that on your own, hopefully it\u2019ll provide you with good luck during the hard parts of next year. Continue your senior year with the same spark and the same happiness that\u2019s driven you thus far. Also, I will you my hair and your blanket.<\/p>\n To Vainius Normantas, I will good luck in future business ventures. Enter PowerPitch, get some money, and make something to impress everyone around you. It\u2019s been great having you in 04 – I couldn\u2019t imagine the last two years of Clash without you. <\/p>\n To Joseph Palakeel, I will a junior who you can just sit down and chill with. From surviving Sound and Light to just talking and listening to music in 04, I\u2019ve made a lot of great memories since we became friends. <\/p>\n To Sneh Patel, I will a junior to trade compliments with. I could always count on seeing you around and being able to say hi to you in 04. Take care and have a good senior year man. <\/p>\n To Aneesh Kudaravalli, I will a junior who\u2019s the life of the party. Although your dance moves and your singing can make me (jokingly) cringe at times, I don\u2019t think I\u2019d rather have anyone else do it. Keep up the DJ\u2019ing \u2013 I\u2019ll be back to party with you next year.<\/p>\n To Ram Koganti, I will a junior who will make you smile every day, and one who you can take a daily selfie with. You\u2019ve never failed to cheer me up, and I hope you can find someone who can do that for you.<\/p>\n To Jacob Horstman, I will 1504. You and Addison are taking on the responsibility of upholding and improving the reputation that has been set in 04 from the seniors that are leaving. 1504 will change next year \u2013 we all trust that you transform it into something that we will be proud to visit next year. <\/p>\n To Robert Lou, I will a junior who will tell you the weirdest things you\u2019ve heard all day. You consistently make me laugh with your questions and scenarios, and I\u2019d highly recommend finding someone like that in your life.<\/p>\n To Adi Budithi, I will a friend to talk to about any of your problems. You\u2019ve always been there for me, even when we were just middle schoolers. Have a great senior year dude. <\/p>\n To Abu Bhalla, I will you a sophomore who will ask you everyday if you’re free, only to never come over. Take care these next two years, and make sure 04 remembers your seniors.<\/p>\n Wise Words of Wisdom: <\/i>Never forget how great life is.<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To Alex Yow, Krishi Korrapati, Richard Osmund, Gedi Njoya, Pranav Narayanan, Matt Gombar, and Ben Maher, I will you leadership of the soccer team, and revenge at regionals next year. You guys are all unbelievably talented, and you have the chance to take your team next year to somewhere great. Remember to slow down, enjoy the ride, and kick some butt while you\u2019re at it. Rising seniors, always make sure to be proactive and keep the underclassmen in check. Rising juniors, make sure you mess around and have fun with your season. You guys made this year amazing for me.<\/p>\n To Martin Filbert, Dhvanil Popat, Herschel Gupta, Jae Oh, Sneh Patel, Vainius Normantas, AJ Federici, Zach Brahmbatt, Clinton Oshipitan, and the rest of the basketball sophomores, I will you guys a much, much better season than we had this year. Obviously, we were a young team, but it was my pleasure to get to provide some leadership to all of you. You\u2019re all phenomenal players, and if you keep working, you guys will have quite the team. I\u2019ll miss all the jokes and fun we had this season. Keep putting in work every day boys, to be your best (and to Herschel, Martin, and Dhvanil, I will you three in particular my 3-point shot. I can\u2019t wait to see which one of you amazing shooters does what I never could and gets to the state 3-point contest).<\/p>\n To Larry Donahue and Abhiudaya Bhalla, I will you two an underclassmen pet to hang out with you next year. I know we as a quad have messed with both of you a lot this year, but you guys mean alot to us. I\u2019m going to miss having sophomores that always stop in, just looking to cheer people up. You guys are both great kids, stay true to you in the future.<\/p>\n To Jaeyoung Oh, I will you leadership of the basketball team and my passing. You\u2019ve grown a lot as a basketball player these past few years, and I can\u2019t wait to see you take the next step in your career. Over these last few years I\u2019ve gotten to know you so much better, and you always cheer me up with your bright, cheery personality. You\u2019re going to have a kick-ass senior year man, keep making people happy!<\/p>\n To Herschel Gupta, I will you an Indian underclassman rival, who\u2019ll turn into one of your best friends. From the day I met you, I could tell that we were similar in a lot of ways. We played soccer and basketball, danced, and had many similar interests. I could never have imagined how close we would get. You\u2019ve become one of my closest friends and confidants; someone that I can go to whenever I need to talk to someone. Don\u2019t ever change from the thoughtful, sensitive, caring friend that you are (and also, come to Vandy!).<\/p>\n To Rohit Mittapalli, I will you the other half of my personality. That may sound weird, but for the last two years people have been telling us that we act so similar in so many ways. Your sophomore year, we spent so much time together and bonded in so many ways so that, quite frankly, we have rubbed off on each other. While I mess with you a lot, you know I love you to death. You\u2019ve been such a day 1 bro, and you\u2019ve helped me with so much (cough cough, Prince MI4). Good luck with college, you\u2019re gonna go somewhere great. Keep the 04A legacy alive in 05 next year!<\/p>\n To Tim Pan, I will an underclassman to carry you through quite literally every class (but knowing you, I\u2019m sure you won\u2019t need one). Dude, legitimately though, you\u2019ve been such a huge help this semester and such a great friend. Remember to take some time to just slow down and enjoy the ride, it\u2019s going to fly by. Hands down, you\u2019re one of the smartest kids I\u2019ve ever met. Keep doing you, and brightening up the lives of everyone around you.<\/p>\n To Robert Lou, I will you a little sibling who\u2019ll cheer you up every time you see them. We\u2019ve known each other for so long, and I\u2019m so glad that you chose to come to IMSA. We\u2019ve had so many memories, and I\u2019m really glad that we\u2019ve stayed close up until now. You\u2019re a brilliant kid, with such a lovable smile, and I can\u2019t wait to see the great things you\u2019ll do. Thanks for being the best [6 day younger than me] little brother I could\u2019ve ever asked for.<\/p>\n To Heena Srivastava, I will you the best Acronym team you could imagine, and a writer as amazing for you as you were for me. This whole year, you\u2019ve been such a committed writer, and I\u2019m so proud that your hard work paid off. More than just that though, you\u2019ve been an amazing friend, and someone that I\u2019m so happy to have met this year. Make sure you always stay one of the happiest, brightest people around. Enjoy your senior year, and make the most of it!<\/p>\n To Richard Osmund, I will you my confidence, in sports and in life. I\u2019ve messed with you so much these past few years, and though we\u2019ve had our problems, you\u2019ve developed into one of my favorite juniors, and someone that I respect so much. I joke around a lot in engineering, but I really do appreciate how you\u2019re always willing to put forth your maximum effort. You\u2019re always a great sport, and a great guy to talk to. I\u2019ll miss you next year, bud.<\/p>\n To Simon Su, I will you January 26th. By that, I mean learning from January 26th. We\u2019ve been through alot together, and I\u2019ve seen you mature a lot over these past two years. I see a lot of potential in an awkward and funny kid. I hope that you make the best of your senior year and get into a college that you want. You\u2019re a hilarious, happy, and fun kid, and I hope that never changes for you. Stay crazy, Simon.<\/p>\n To Sofia Rhode, I will you someone else to have countless uncomfortable but entertaining interactions with. I can\u2019t think of someone else over these last two years who I\u2019ve bonded with more over so much random stuff. I respect how you always have a smile on your face, regardless of how things are going in your life. Your positivity and kind (if not a bit awkward) nature affect those around you. I\u2019ll miss having weird quirky greetings with you, because they always made my day that much better.<\/p>\n To 04C Upsquad (Joseph, Vainius, Sneh, Aneesh, and Tim), I will you guys a super chill senior year. Each of you, in your own individual ways, has made my experience at IMSA that much better. You\u2019re a bunch of crazy, fun-loving, happy kids, and I hope that never changes about you all. Sneh, you\u2019ve always been an energy-bringer to the basketball team, make sure you show the new generation how to hustle. Vainius, you\u2019re a great conversationalist and it\u2019s always interesting having thought-provoking talks with you. Tim, you\u2019re a kick-ass dancer, and a hilarious guy, keep doing you. Aneesh, you\u2019re the most lovable ball of cuteness I\u2019ve ever met, I hope nothing ever wipes that smile off your face. And Joseph, you\u2019ve always been my Malu bro, and you\u2019ve been my go-to guy for the longest time, thank you for that. I wish you guys all the best next year.<\/p>\n To Akash Palani, I will you some chill, plain and simple. Akash, you\u2019re one of the most driven, passionate, and kind people I\u2019ve ever met. I\u2019m constantly blown away by your ideas, and interests. I only wish we could\u2019ve spent more time together this year. Going into senior year, I know you\u2019re going to be stressed about all sorts of things, but I want you to just relax a bit every so often and enjoy yourself. Sure, stress is necessary, but it\u2019s equally necessary to chill every so often! You\u2019re gonna do some crazy big things, best of luck senior year and beyond, and stay in touch! <\/p>\n To Eshan Mehrotra, I will you more wing mates to take under your arm and make crazy memories with. I remember how excited I was last year, when I learned that you were coming to A-wing. I knew that you\u2019d be one of my juniors, and a great addition to our wing dynamic. Since then, I\u2019ve watched you grow up into an awesome junior. Sophomores and seniors alike love and respect you. We\u2019ve made some great memories this year (like that one time we had all the sophomores in down quad…good times), and I know you\u2019ll make more next year. Stay focused, for someone as brilliant as you, the world is yours.<\/p>\n To Addison Herr, I will you a new friend to stay up with until the very early hours of the morning, whenever needed. I never could have imagined how close we were going to get this year. I never could have imagined all the nights we\u2019d stay up talking, watching movies, and messing around with our quads. You\u2019ve become a life-long friend, and I can\u2019t imagine moving away from you next year. Isaac and I are both so proud of all the crazy amazing stuff you\u2019ve done, and all the things you have lined up for you. I only wish I would have met you last year, and had another year with you. You\u2019re such a smart and driven person. You\u2019re also quite possibly the funniest person I\u2019ve ever met and I\u2019m going to miss your dry humor so much. I can\u2019t wait to see where you go to college, so I can come visit you. Don\u2019t stress out too much next year, and make sure that you enjoy every minute of it. I\u2019ll miss you a lot, Addy.<\/p>\n And to Sagar Nattuvetty, I will you my bed in down quad. I\u2019m talking about the same bed that we\u2019ve been sleeping on together for the past two years. From day 1, you were my sophomore (actually, from even before, when our dads knew each other). I\u2019ve seen you grow up and go through so many different things, and I\u2019m so proud of where you are in life now. You have this unique happiness and positivity that legitimately radiates from you and affects all the people around you. I\u2019m blessed to say that you\u2019ve affected who I am, and helped make me into the best version of myself. I hope that everything works out for you in terms of college, but I know it will. You\u2019re a bright, passionate kid, and you\u2019re going to do amazing things. I love you to death bud, come visit me next year.<\/p>\n Wise Words of Wisdom:<\/i> Laugh and love the journey.<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To Lisa Lin and Corona: Lisa, I will more people who want their hair braided and a tennis buddy who fixes your inhaler (oops). Thanks for listening to me last year and I\u2019m sorry I haven\u2019t visited much but thank you for always being yourself and working so incredibly hard. You\u2019re an awesome tennis player and an exceptional friend. You deserve everything you want and I think you are an exceptional student :P Corona, I will someone to mess up your hair and wear your food pillows on their heads. I will miss your adorableness ^_^<\/p>\n To Abu, I will you a sophomore just like you. You have this friendliness and way of getting to know so many people. So don\u2019t let people turn you into someone else, I\u2019ll be sad if I come back and don\u2019t see you waving and third-wheeling all the time. Also, keep shining lights into windows! <\/p>\n To Wasan Kumar, I will two singular tacos so I can eat one too. Haha, but have fun being CD (you\u2019ll do great) and try not to worry too much senior year. It passes by far too quickly to spend it being stressed. <\/p>\n To Maria Garcia. I know you\u2019re not expecting this. But I will you lots of strength and motivation to keep going to the fitness center even when junior year hits you hard. I know I don\u2019t really know you, but seeing you in the fitness center always helped me keep going (and thanks for helping me when I didn\u2019t know what I was doing). ^_^ Have a great junior year (and keep bothering Danny).<\/p>\n To Giezelle, I will you someone else to mispronounce your name every time they see you. I will miss your dog and your presence in tennis! You\u2019re a fantastic player and don\u2019t let anyone\u2019s lack of coaching ruin your game. ^_^<\/p>\n To Athena, I will you happy times and beautiful weather. I\u2019m really sorry for not visiting, but I still have a month! I\u2019m gonna do it! I will miss your hugs and I\u2019m very happy for your successes. Keep playing music, have a great senior year with Heena and if you ever need to call someone, I\u2019ll be here! <\/p>\n To Heena, Heena! You\u2019re a crazy wonderful girl and I just will you more fun next year. Keep bothering Athena for me and I\u2019m so glad I got to talk to you guys more in Hawaii. You\u2019re gonna do great things with LEAD. Just remember to be your happy humble self and try not to forget about the rest of us when you\u2019re super famous :) <\/p>\n Lily, I will you the power to get through senior year :D You\u2019ve already conquered some of the hardest classes at IMSA (ty for helping me study for Org in orchestra!), keep pushing through. You deserve all the college acceptances you want! You\u2019re super sweet and adorable and I also will you another stand partner who yells \u201cPIGEONS\u201d! :D<\/p>\n Hannah Yeung, I will you lots of minions, more pajamas and Joy Yee drinks. Thank you for letting me bother you and stay cute! <\/p>\n Claudia and Diann, I will you the sweetest candy in the world to match your personalities. You\u2019re fantastic sophomores and I hope you have tons of fun rooming next year! Claudia, I\u2019m very glad I met you during camp and have fun in your quad next year. I also wish you the best of luck in whatever you want to do. Diann!! I will you a wonderful doubles partner and more donuts and chips and oreos from sodexo lunches :) Stay adorable and keep up your incredible work ethic.<\/p>\n David Ying, DYING! Sorry for that random message in the beginning of your soph year. It\u2019s the first thing I thought of when I saw your name. I will you more people like me and Jphung who bother you via FB, bad dying jokes, Bloomington friendos and lots of \u2018morning rehearsals\u2019. Make Blo-No proud and have fun with FBLA next year! <\/p>\n To new SCIA board (Jacob Horstman, Sweta Kotha, Sagar Nuttevety, Alex Yow and Katrina Kuhn), I will you the power of IMSA, session free days during IMSAloquium and endless tours. Yes, it\u2019s a much larger board, but it\u2019s also a huge responsibility. Keep an open mind, push for what you believe in even when everyone tells you it won\u2019t work and smile. Legislators are just people after all, show them why IMSA deserves to exist. Jacob, I will you lots of alumni cards to sign :P and fun times with the advisors. Sweta and Sagar, I will you the candy from the alumni office and lots of alumni to meet. Katrina and Alex, I will you the ability to convince legislators to visit even in the busiest of times and more \u2018personal\u2019 letters from representatives. <\/p>\n To Hannah and Sophie, I will you both a wonderful junior year! Hannah, have a great time in tennis next year and I enjoyed getting to know you for that short season. Sophie, your smile always brightens my day! I hope you get everything you want out of junior year and keep on smiling :)<\/p>\n To Madison Dong, I will une pomme pour Madeleine qui mange :) You\u2019re absolutely adorable and fantastic and keep Crosby happy! I really wish I got to talk to you more but regardless, I will you the best of luck as our new Madame President. Stay strong. <\/p>\n To Caitlin, I will you our SIR lab (hopefully!) and more heart cells to analyze. Have fun with soccer and your quad next year. You work incredibly hard and I hope you get whatever you want in the future because with your contagious happy personality and funny wit, you\u2019re going places! Have a great year! <\/p>\n To Jaszmine, I will you someone else to make fun of during your English class. I really enjoy our table in MWF and making fun of you every chance I get! I hope you get through the struggle that is BC1 and enjoy senior year. I\u2019ll miss you tons!<\/p>\n To Ishita and Melissa, ISHITA! I will you more people to be obnoxious with you and rant about boys. You\u2019re crazy and beautiful and overall a quality person. Whatever it is you\u2019re doing, keep doing it! I hope you have a wonderful junior year and if you ever wanna bother someone, I\u2019m still here :) Melissa Mu, I will you another box of honey wheat pretzels and more people to bother when you\u2019re bored. I will you more hugs and lots of snapchat streaks. I admire your ability to have your own opinions regardless of others. I\u2019ll try to visit more before the end of the school year and I hope you have a great junior year (try to keep Radeesha sane). <\/p>\n To Radeesha, I will you biscotti (and an avocado) and a sophomore room floor to fall on whenever you are embarrassed. You\u2019re absolutely crazy and wonderfully amusing. Keep your head up high because you will do incredible things. Remember that sometimes, there\u2019s things you can\u2019t control but try to stay positive when you can do something about it. Take initiative and be true to yourself :D Ah, I can\u2019t wait to see you as a senior~ Lemme know if you ever need something!<\/p>\n To Katrina Kuhn, I leave you with a wing, a hall and a campus that needs your presence. I will you to be the responsible senior I couldn\u2019t be. Thanks for letting me act like your little sibling but also for listening to me even when I had no idea what I was saying. Thank you for going into tunnels and warehouses and walking in the rain and letting me sleep on your very bouncy pillow. You made senior year just a tad better ^_^ Whenever you\u2019re disappointed, just remember, I know who you are and what you\u2019re capable of doing, you just gotta show everyone else that. \u201cI\u2019ll tell you all about it when I see you again.\u201d [I also will you organic foods and woats oats snacks and nobake cookies and brownies and puppy chow making skills]<\/p>\n To all the underclassmen, I will you time and love. Read, draw, take photos, play music, sing, game, talk to your friends, leave your room, talk to that boy or girl you\u2019ve wanted to message since move-in day. Just do it. Call your parents, talk to RCs, say hi to the Sodexo members, infect this campus with happiness. Love and forgive. IMSA won\u2019t work without you. It\u2019s only as successful as its students and fine, IMSA isn\u2019t the same as two years ago. But that doesn\u2019t mean we have to let it break down. Use your voices, use your crazy ideas and your incredible intelligence to do something about it, rather than just complain. IMSA needs you to shape it, just as it has shaped all of us. Stay Golden IMSA.<\/p>\n Wise Words of Wisdom:<\/i> Never give up on your dreams.<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To my sophomore Dhara Patel, I will you second semester senioritis.

Without you I don\u2019t think being a wing guide would be this much fun and I hope you continue to make D-wing great.<\/p>\n To Neha Verma, I will you motivation to get through all of senior year. Even when it seems far away, the end of senior year comes by really fast and you don\u2019t want to miss a single second of it.<\/p>\n To Madison Dong, I will you good luck in everything you do. Next year you will be a great President and even more you will continue to be a great person. Good luck my child.<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To Yuri, Maria Garcia, Sophie Ashbrook, Jessica Forbes, and Hannah Harvard, I will you the ability to keep on being the sweet, sweet souls that you are.

I also will you a Kylie Lip Kit in the near future! <\/p>\n To Sona, I will you a new squad to spend 6th mod with next year. Thank you for literally making me die of laughter every time I see you & teaching me all the latest dance moves. Hopefully you\u2019re not stuck studying biology 24\/7 when I leave, but then again, it\u2019s junior year so you probably will be. I\u2019ll miss you & our Harambee hip-hop adventures next year! <\/p>\n To Ravali (Ramona), Amy Liu (Amita), and Rongzhen (Raquel), I will you the ability to survive Spanish for one more year because you\u2019re almost done! You three amaze me every day with your Spanish-speaking skills, so I know you can do it. Have a grand senior year, and if you ever need help in Spanish, I would ask someone else. <\/p>\n To Vainius, I will you the ability to keep on growing out your man bun because I\u2019m obsessed with it. I also will you the ability to keep on being your chill self with your sense of style, although I\u2019m sure you won\u2019t have any trouble with that. You\u2019re almost done with IMSA & I\u2019m 96.18% confident that your man bun will help you get through the rest of it! <\/p>\n To Tim (Timmy) Ramos, I will you the ability to keep dancing as \u201cgood\u201d as me. I love talking to you, and I\u2019m going to miss doing Filipino and Modern with you next year. Hopefully we run into each other at Joy Yee\u2019s again. You\u2019re also one of my favorite people ever, just thought you should know that. Best of luck with next year Timmy! <\/p>\n Joseph Palakeel oh Joseph Palakeel\u2026I will you the ability to continue to write amazing Creative Writing poems. I still can\u2019t figure out if I\u2019m lost or found. Anyway, you\u2019re weird in the best possible way, but you make me laugh whenever I talk to you, so thank you for that. I also will you the skills you need to do those cool skateboard tricks you show me in Creative Writing. Oh yeah, and I will you the ability to be the best Girl Scout cookie you can be! And one more thing, I will you someone else to say hi to your dad every time they see him. After IMSA, I\u2019m sure that we\u2019ll continue emailing each other. Keep doing you Mr. Palakeel! \u2013Thank you, Hannah $ Chaddha <\/p>\n To Aneesh, I will you another person to walk to Chipotle with, even though we haven\u2019t done that in a long time. I\u2019m going to miss you a lot next year & your ability to always put a smile on my face. We also need to plan that dinner with my parents and our shopping trip, but we can discuss that later. Good luck with everything; I know you\u2019re going to do great things and be a \u201cballer\u201d just like you say you will.

I always enjoy talking to you and despite the fact that you were a horrible adoptive father, I\u2019m going to miss you tons next year. Have a great, great, great senior year! <\/p>\n To Eshan oh Eshan\u2026where do I even start with you!? One of the things I\u2019m going to miss most next year are your extremely, extremely awkward hugs, but that\u2019s okay because we Mehrotras don\u2019t show affection according to you. You never fail to make me laugh so hard I cry, so don\u2019t ever stop doing that. I\u2019ll definitely be back to visit you at least once next year & I hope I can still be your daughter then!<\/p>\n Wise Words of Wisdom:<\/i> Blankets Are Bad <\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments: <\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List: <\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament: <\/i><\/p>\n To Akash Palani, Sagar Nattuvetty and Yugan Sakthi I will you a bed to sleep on when a Bij visits. Yugan, I will you a drum to tap on and a golden retriever pupper to cuddle with \u2013 never forget your little joys that get your through IMSA. To Sagar, I will you a person to hug every day in the hallway and a helpful SCS member \u2013 keep being your bubbly self, but find solace in others, you deserve it. To Akash, I will you fancy hairspray and a BC book \u2013 Don\u2019t stop having the nicest hair around and keep being you, but when you\u2019re sad studying that BC book, remember who willed it to you and give him a call ;). To you three, you\u2019re hard working, passionate, and motivated individuals, so I will you the insight to when to stop, take a deep breath and enjoy the company of those you love. <\/p>\n To Mateusz Cikowski I will you an everlasting smile and a better acting career. As you grow and mature being CAB director, don\u2019t lose sight of what brought you there. Keep your huge smile that plagues your acting, and your charisma, happiness and charm with it. <\/p>\n To Madison Dong and the entirety of BijBaj I will you the peace of mind in other people. All the time, you help, help help, and give advice \u2013 I will you the ability to sometime get some sleep and confide in others for a change. Also, Madison, I will you the ability to tunnel like no other Mole can. <\/p>\n To Ayan Agarwal, I will you a MAD buddy and a business partner for all your Guatamalan lemonade needs. You\u2019re smart and focused, but get some rest sometime, and keep calm even when things are horribly annoying. Keep up your hard work, but when things go astray I will you a meme and a quota to keep you going. <\/p>\n To Cecilia Chang and Christy Paik, I will you the three things I wish I had this year \u2013 patience, respect and gratification. Even if I had these things, I rarely felt it. As you two grow incredible amounts and take on the ISP beast, don\u2019t get down on yourself. You two will have been on board longer than anyone else for a reason \u2013 you\u2019ve worked hard to get here and you\u2019re capable. Never lose sight of what ISP meant to us and what it means to you. This year will be rough, and at times you might not think it\u2019s worthwhile, but from Justin Orr to Ryan Eberhardt, we\u2019re all rooting for you and know you can do it! <\/p>\n To Maria Garcia, Yasmin Broy, and Dan Marten I will you the patience and the confidence to complete the senior board for ISP. I\u2019ve seen all of you grow throughout ISP \u2013 you went from knowing nothing to be astonishingly strong leaders. Keep Cecilia and Christy in check, and the last thing I will you is to do cool stuff! P.S. Maria I will you the ability to speak with Urbanski. <\/p>\n To Allison Platon and Nyxel Camerama I will you the time and the composure to be an ISP board member next year. Junior year can feel rough at times, but rely on the ISP family to keep you going. Have some patience, and you\u2019ll make it just fine. <\/p>\n To Andriy Sheptunov I will you someone to spend weekend nights with editing and discussing. But more importantly, I will you the patience to keep doing what you\u2019re doing and to not get flustered. And for your fun times next year, I will you a light that is actually soft. <\/p>\n To Sean Ngo and Elliott Cleven I will you Michelle\u2019s phone-number. Keep being bubbly balls of weirdness, but in return you\u2019re not allowed to interrupt an intervis ever again. <\/p>\n To Alex Yow, Adrian Bebenek, Jae Oh and David Ying, I will you plenty of memes. But, please, when I visit, keep them on the DL or I may never come back again. You guys are wily, but that\u2019s the fun part isn\u2019t it? <\/p>\n To Eshan Mehrotra, Elliott Cleven, Yugan Sakthi, and Michael Dow, I will you 2 AM fun times. Senior year is an intense time, filled with some of the most extreme stress yet the most extreme memories you\u2019ll have at IMSA. Don\u2019t forget about your old upquad\u2019s legacy and let loose sometimes, whether that means making loud noises across the hall preventing your sophomores from sleeping, or pushing someone down the hallway at 3 AM yelling certain phrases. Above all, I will you the ability, as seniors, to promote wing community and a place for underclassmen to come in and feel welcome, chat when they need someone to talk to, or start a hotspot when there internet has died. You\u2019re all very capable, let that make an impact on whomever you\u2019re with next year. <\/p>\n To Tim Pan, Ben Maher, and Rohit Mittapali I will you three juniors to carry you in math and to crap on. Or not, you guys can always be the carries. <\/p>\n To Evan Sun, I will you a warm pot of food and a warm smile to be around. I will you the ability to control your wily ambitions yet a large amount of flash paper to light the night sky with the inevitable \u201cI told you so\u201d. I will you a group of people to make crazy food with at night, and to enjoy eating, talking and each other\u2019s company when you\u2019re stressed out. I will you working VMs, Arch, and other strange computery things I think are pointless. But most importantly, I will you yourself \u2013 I will you the insights to find yourself, what you love and what your focus is, the time to talk to others and advice to pass down to some underclassmen. Alongside Sagar, Yugan, and Akash, I will you a bed to sleep on instead of a floor, because sometimes a little rest will do you more good than finishing your latest ambition.<\/p>\n Wise Words of Wisdom:<\/i> Place matters into His hands <\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List: <\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To Amy Liu (sup), Jason and I will you our most prized possession. We know you will do great things with new structures and new events. We trust you will love and nurture it and care for your board members. While the year is busy, don’t lose your faith and don’t forget to lean on Him whenever you need. Place matters into His hands.<\/p>\n To Jenny Li, I will you ASIA! I know you will do well with your new responsibilities for ASIA. I also will you someone to admire your dimples as much as I do.<\/p>\n To Tim Ramos, I will you the obnoxiousness to convince other people to do ASIA and SDAC. Thanks for not remembering what you wrote about me, but still, I felt very special. I hope you keep the dance spirit alive and fulfill what you said you would do for SDAC. I also hope you will voice your opinion more during ASIA. One of my favorite juniors yet you like Jason more <\/3<\/p>\n To Jan, I will you the ability to continue bringing positive energy to ASIA. Your personality brightens my day all the time!<\/p>\n To Lewis, I will you more cuteness in the future. You are honestly my favorite sophomore male and I love your energy and enthusiasm when you greet me. I hope you will continue to do great things for ASIA.<\/p>\n To my little brownie, Nitya, I will you A wing and I hope that you keep it fun and lively! I also will you another wonderful co\/partner that you can keep being crazy and creative with. Thank you so much for a wonderful year and putting up with me <3<\/p>\n To my favorite roommate pair, Reclisk + Naomi, I will you another great year of roommateness. You two are just awesome, funny people. Your interactions remind me of Lucy and I and it makes me happy to see you guys so close. I know you guys will accomplish great things!<\/p>\n To Christy, Dhara, Andrew, Kasey, Tim, Roy, Gina, we will you SDAC. We recognize all of your personalities and I hope you can play off each other’s strengths and make up for each other’s weaknesses to achieve a better SDAC. The ideas you proposed are great and I hope you can work together to implement them and find plausible solutions to the issues we had last year.<\/p>\n To Christyyyyy, I will you 06 drill and hope that you will learn more leadership\/collaboration skills in SDAC. Your style of dance is cool (and very different from mine, so I have difficulty learning your dances XD) and I hope you can incorporate all of SDAC’s different styles throughout the year.<\/p>\n To Dhara, I will you someone to make gross and awesome facial expressions with you. You get me when it comes to struggles in dance and making weird noises and moves and I love that. Your personality and how you express that when you dance is goals and never lose that.<\/p>\n To Kasey, I will you virtual fistbumps. I’m so happy that you picked up dancing\/bboying and I really hope you continue your passion.<\/p>\n To Tim Pan, I will you the strength to stay close to Him. I had a really hard time feeling His presence during junior year and it worsened in first semester senior year. I hope that you will trust in whatever He has in store for you and to continue reaching out to Him and your brothers\/sisters.<\/p>\n To DAIISYYYYYY <3, I will you the energy to be as enthusiastic as you are now. You are sincerely the cutest and so cool for going to Japan at such a young age. I am forever with you!<\/p>\n To my \ub3d9\uc0dd\ub4e4 Grace Park and Shannon Park, I will you some other upperclassmen that can speak Korean with you. \uac19\uc774\uc6b4\ub3d9\ud558\uc790 ;D<\/p>\n To Catherine, Jasmine, and Diana, I just wanted to include you guys because you are honestly so sweet and I wish I could return the same level of kindness. I\u2019m sad we grew apart while living in separate wings but I love you all very much!<\/p>\n To Alvina, I will you Chen dance representation. You go Glen Coco!<\/p>\n To Jeremy, Timur, Alex, Matt, I will you more baseball memories. You guys are so funny and fun to be with! I enjoy watching the baseball team just for you guys :P<\/p>\n To Claudia :3, I will you another quad to talk to and that you’ll enjoy your quad a lot. We all love you very much. You’re so talented in many ways I cannot be and I hope you search for the opportunities to foster this talent at your time at IMSA.<\/p>\n To Elizabeth :D, I will you a cool upperclassmen that will support you in everything you do, whether it be swim or dance. Just remember, I’m always just a message away :D<\/p>\n Words of Wisdom:<\/i> Never lose hope.<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To Rebecca Xun, I will you many fund requests, talks with Amy Woods, a thriving club life at IMSA, and most importantly an awesome year as Student Council Treasurer!<\/p>\n To Evan Sun, I will you a little sibling who will loan you cooking equipment, message you late at night, ask you to help you with their promposal, and keep you motivated. Not going to lie – the first time Zach and Vinesh talked about you, I was kind of scared how our sibling dynamic would work out. Now I can safely say that adopting you was one of the best choices I made. I hope you have a great year and awesome time as VP and potentially the new Poster Bij?!?!!<\/p>\n To the future StudCo, I will you an abundance amount of patience and persistence. These two things are something I wish I had more of during my time on StudCo. Patience will keep you sane and persistence is what will keep you going when everything seems to go wrong.<\/p>\n To Amy Liu and Jan Mangulabnan, I will you a great senior year as well as an excellent future for 1503. It was great getting to know both of you in the wing this past year. You will both do great as futures CDs! Build a stronger community and make 1503 a place worthy of calling h0m3.<\/p>\n To Naomi Nakajima, Walker Weyland, and Jen Song, I will you the future of Anime club. We\u2019ve had our fair share of ups and downs with this club but I have had so much fun with it and I hope you guys have too. Whether it be making food, doing random crafts, or deciding what anime to watch I hope you all have a great next year!<\/p>\n To Jessica Lee, I will you an underclassman that will call you Jessica-senpai :3<\/p>\n To Corona and Irisa, I will you underclassmen that will encourage you to just keep swimming even when you\u2019re 50 yards behind.<\/p>\n To Claire, Jayoon, Spoorthi, Shruthi, Agne, and Amy, I will you sophomores that will come to your room, ask for homework help, hang out with you, and build forts with you at sleepovers. Most importantly you I will you an awesome junior year wherever you end up living next year!<\/p>\n To the future 03BDQ (Natasia, Sweta, Snigdha, Ramya), I will you late nights, date nights, and never ending fun as the next 03BDQ. Keep the wing morale high and make sure you don\u2019t corrupt the future sophomores too much.<\/p>\n Wise Words of Wisdom:<\/i> Have the will to pick your path. <\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To John DeMastri, I leave you with the freedom and strength to tear down what I built and build something better. After Walt Disney left Disney, people there asked themselves \u201cwhat would Walt do\u201d before making a decision. Don\u2019t you dare do that. There\u2019s no one else I\u2019d rather have as captain and I know you\u2019ll step up to the challenges ahead \u00ad and in your unique no-holds-barred John way. May your senior year be full of research (especially from Dr. Fu Ckyemen of the University of Aden), IRS indictments, paid sick leave, Navy SEALs and freedom math \u00ad\u00ad but no A\u00ads.<\/p>\n To Jacob Horstman, I will you the ability to find the balance between the silly Jacob we love and the serious Jacob we rarely see. You don\u2019t get enough credit for your serious and insightful side and I will you a senior year of many \u200blaughs\u200b keks and insightful conversations. And someone to sleep with on the bus to Chicago.<\/p>\n To Ayan Agarwal, I will you as many blog writing internships, buzz, bubble tea, pentakills and inflated revenue estimates as your heart desires. Your inner synergy has never been in doubt and now is your chance for you to leverage that to create change in our (dynamic) community. You\u2019re one of the unsung heroes of IMSA and I look forward to seeing what your TALENTs accomplish<\/p>\n To Irena Gao & Lucy Liu, I\u2019m so proud that you two stepped up to do what\u2019s never been done in IMSA speech. I will you a season full of challenges, cute sophomores, 30 minute prep times, files and, above all, a relentless drive for a perfect team. Anything you\u2019ve ever wished speech could be \u200bcan be\u200b. You have the ultimate sandbox next year and I\u2019m excited to see what you build next year.<\/p>\n To Evan Sun and Madison Dong, I leave you with less than you deserve. You two are some of the most competent individuals I know (when not galloping) but don\u2019t underestimate the magnitude of the challenges that you face. As anticipated, I leave you with my own set of crappy code but also my thoughts and ideas. I have stacks of legal pads filled with ideas dying to become proposals. I hope that, via you two, these ideas can find a life on the Council after me. Keep your eyes on the big picture but don\u2019t neglect the small things and you two will go far.<\/p>\n To Abinaya Ramakrishnan, you\u2019ve shown yourself to be a true IMSA Debater at heart and I hope you use your position to improve yourself and the team. You\u2019re generally not given enough credit for your achievements in the community and I will you the wisdom to know when you are following your path, not the path set for you.Your next year will be crazy and stressful and wonderful: take breaks along the way to reflect on how it\u2019s going and where you want it to go.<\/p>\n To Rebecca Xun, from August, I knew that you were going to be the next in the generation of idiots who tried to do StudCo, LEAD and Forensics at the same time. I will you the three ring circus that, once upon a time, Puja Mittal willed to me. I will you the insight and friends that will get you through this next year. It\u2019ll be hard \u00ad\u00adbut also one of the most rewarding experiences you\u2019ve had. Finally, I will you a piece of great literature: my copy of \u200bTwilight\u200b. Hopefully you can navigate this upcoming year with the agility of Edward Cullen.<\/p>\n To Akash, if I could, I would will you a robot that could do your research for you. Instead, I will you plenty of memes, all the operator overloads you need (and a few more), better introductions but most of all, underclassman that can be as great of friends to you as you\u2019ve been to me.<\/p>\n To Yugan, last time we went to the same school, I barely remembered you after we left \u00ad\u00ad even though we were SciOly partners. You were just that quiet kid who was kinda just there. You\u2019re still \u201ckinda just there\u201d but in a much better way. Now it\u2019s more like you\u2019re always reliably there. After the insanity of this year, I hope you find peace next year. You\u2019ve got some huge challenges ahead of you but I\u2019m optimistic that you will be able to navigate them in a uniquely Akash way \u00ad iPhone 6 in one hand, Starbucks Latte in another.<\/p>\n To everyone else, I will you the ability to distinguish between Akash and Yugan. I\u2019m pretty sure I eventually figured it out.<\/p>\n To Connor Elmore, first, I will you the position of Arun \u00ad\u00adand all the trophies that comes with that title. I also will you a thirst for learning so you can better leverage your ideas. You\u2019re one of the most genuinely caring people I know. I hope you get sophomores in your wing as great as you\u2019ve been.<\/p>\n To Connor Elmore, Lucas Urbanski, Diego Alanis and Julian Martinez, this is the first year that I haven\u2019t disliked my wing and it\u2019s in large part thanks to you four. You\u2019ve been great community members and instantly jumped in for the wing when we allied for assassins or created the dankest flag imaginable. Enjoy the late night quad conversations \u00adthey\u2019ll be some of the favorite parts of your year.<\/p>\n To Mike Xu, even though you\u2019re leaving, I will you the honorary position of Dank B01. May the memes be with you.<\/p>\n To Gunwati, Diego, Sivam, Zach, John, Thomas, Connor, Manny, Grant, Irena, Sonya, Yoanna, Lauralyn, Lucy, Elyas, Esther, Cherilyn, Jack, Alex, Abinaya, Nabeel, Chandana, Rebecca & Claudia: Neither debate nor speech is the art of talking pretty (no matter what the judges say). They are up, breaking down the concept you\u2019re explaining to make it more digestible or predicting the outcome of your joke and constantly adapting to what you discover. This team has been a refuge for the past three years, a space where I could focus on just that thinking. I urge each of you to use that space to develop that kind of thinking in yourself and others. It won\u2019t be easy \u00ad but nothing new and useful ever is.<\/p>\n To Vainius Normatas, Evan Sun, Rebecca Lisk, Ashrita, I\u2019m just going to second what Nick says. Good luck you guys – you have a unique opportunity that \u00adI know you\u2019ll make the best of it.<\/p>\n To Dan, Jeremy and Grant, it\u2019s not technically mine to give but I don\u2019t care: I will you 01DDQ. Home is where the heart is and my heart has certainly been in D wing this past year. Hopefully you guys will take better care of the place than we did. Spend some time with your underclassman: they\u2019ll deserve great mentors. #DankB01z<\/p>\n To Kyle, I guess you can have 01DDQ too \u00ad\u00adif you give me a blueberry muffin. And a Jimmy John\u2019s sandwich. And the skin.<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To Akhila Vuppalapati, I will my leftover service hours. Once you\u2019ve already got 125 on campus, they\u2019re basically worthless but it\u2019s the thought that counts :* To her roommate Vidya Babu, I leave two more years of sweet sweet smugness when the hooks keep falling down because Akhila didn\u2019t follow directions.<\/p>\n To Irisa Mynt, I will two semesters worth of free schedule choices and the foresight that even I didn\u2019t have at the end of last year. I believe in you Mynty \u263a<\/p>\n To all my sophs in concert choir, I leave you a junior year filled with challenges that you\u2019re prepared for. It\u2019ll be hard, but I believe in all of you. <\/p>\n To all my junior couchies, I will you a comfy place to sit and hopefully not under construction next year. <\/p>\n To Lucas Urbanski, Krishi Korrapati, Connor Elmore, Agne Nakavosite, and everyone else I leave you Thousand Tongues. Whether you\u2019re a president or not, you will decide the direction in which this club goes and I know all of you will make us proud. <\/p>\n Last but not least, to Anna Barannikova, Melanie Hess, Maria Garcia, and Arturo Granados, I will you all my sophomores. Jk it\u2019s pizza rolls and fruit snacks. You guys are the best people I\u2019ve ever known and leaving you behind will be hard, but I know you guys will be just fine without me <3 To Melanie, especially, I leave my Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer.<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/em><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/em><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/em><\/p>\n To Madison Dong and Evan Sun, I will you the organization that means so much to me because I know how much it means to you. I will you the strength to lead and the patience to be silent. I will you the late nights and the long talks, and I will you the power to deal with the frustrations and dead ends and misunderstandings that will inevitably surface. I am so proud of how you have grown, and I cannot wait to see how you will continue to grow. While I may still feel like there were a million things I could have or should have done differently for you, I trust that you will do great things for Student Council and for IMSA. Never stop questioning, exploring, and wondering, and never stop fighting. (And as always, I\u2019ll be a call\/message\/Slack summons away if you ever need me.)<\/p>\n To Yoanna Ivanova, Emma Mattson, Akash Palani, George Moe, Sagar Nattuvetty, Rebecca Xun, Connor Elmore, and all other StudCo underclassmen, past and present, I will you the confidence and the courage to carry on. Regardless of where you\u2019ll go from here, whether you\u2019ll continue to work with StudCo or whether you\u2019re moving on, I hope that you will continue to bring your strengths to the table and to learn from the trials and tribulations. You\u2019ve all done\u2014and will do!\u2014amazing things, and I can only imagine what you\u2019ll continue to do.<\/p>\n To Jessica Lee, I will you all the k-pop your heart desires and the absence of strangely flavored chips. I will you the wing that I have called home these past two years because I know you\u2019ll take care of it, and I will you the strength to be the change you want to see in the world. To Diann George, I will you my boat, just like I promised all those months ago. Take care of it and pass it down because it will be part of so many memories, just as you are a part of so many of mine. I can never thank you enough for taking a chance on us and coming to our quad that first day, and I can never truly thank you for every sweet gesture and gift you give us. Never stop smiling, and enjoy everything.<\/p>\n To Kate Rabideau, I will you all the orbs you could ever have. But I also will you (if this is a thing) a sophomore who can provide late-night laughs and play with your hair and bake you cakes just like you did for me. I will you the best two years you could have here surrounded by people you love.<\/p>\n To Rongzhen Zhou, I will you your own bby sophomore to mother. Thank you for lighting up my world two years ago when you opened up to me for the first time, and I\u2019m so glad that we can call each other friends. I will you hugs and cheek squishes and everything that made our friendship so precious.<\/p>\n To Divya Dureja, I will the gift of all the men your heart desires ;) While I may not be able to do that for you, I hope that you\u2019ll get it, because someone with a smile as sweet as yours deserves all the best.<\/p>\n To Grace Park, Shannon Park, Jenny Li, and Rongzhen Zhou, I will you 03ADQ. But beyond the nondescript, kinda jank rooms and occasional ant infestations that the place entails, I will you the priceless memories and late nights that come with it. It\u2019s been amazing to watch you grow as a quad this year, and I know that you\u2019ll continue to bring laughter and smiles to the wing. And I will you the underclassmen to come\u2014I know you\u2019ll take good care of them.<\/p>\n To Ravali Thimmapuram, my little sib, I will you all the happiness that you can find at IMSA. I hope you never stop smiling and laughing, and I hope you find someone who you can mentor and that you receive as much from them as you gave me.<\/p>\n To Jacob Horstman, I will you the ability to enjoy the little things, and I will you quiet moments of reflection. I will you late night conversations and long walks, and I would will you my umbrella except I kinda need that. You always told me you were going to change the world. I believe that wholeheartedly, and I cannot wait to see what you will do.<\/p>\n To Heena Srivastava, I will you a 10\/10 comeback to any comebacks that come your way. I will you all the swag to add to your already outlandish amounts of swag. Keep making people laugh because you\u2019ve got a real talent for it, and I\u2019m glad I got to be on the receiving end of some of that skill.<\/p>\n To Gina Jiang and Lindy Hong, I will you all the good memories it\u2019s possible to will. It\u2019s been incredible to grow up with you two, from our nubby Chinese dances to the day I learned you were coming to IMSA to seeing you in the hallways and marveling at how far we\u2019ve come. You never cease to make me smile, and I hope your senior year is just as full of joy.<\/p>\n To Srivarun Tummarakota, I will you infinite biology knowledge and many more quality extended bus rides. I also will you my P-town swag. Take care of it and pass it down at the end of the year, just like it was passed down to me. It\u2019s been a lot of fun going through IMSA with you and watching you morph from a bby sophomore-at-large to the confident leader you are now, and I can\u2019t wait to see what you accomplish this year.<\/p>\n To Claire Wang and Jayoon Lee, I will you an incredible two years at IMSA. Getting to know you two this year has been fun, and I\u2019m endlessly amazed at your sweetness and humor and excitement. I\u2019m always here if you ever need anything, and I wish you all the best with your quad next year! To Noble Wulffraat and Sofia Rhode, I will you future generations of Peoria Academy grads at IMSA to bond with and watch over. I am glad that I can say I\u2019ve gone to school with the two of you for all these years, and I will you lots more memories with lots more midstaters. To my 03A underclassmen (Aimee van den Berg, Abby Munsen, Krysta Griffin, Carson Goffinet, Tessa Ntow, Diann George, Kate Rabideau, Martha Galvez, Eve Adami, Jaszmine Simmons, Aishat Durojaiye, Jenny Rosauer, Isabella Spinelli, Jessica Lee, Jenny Li, Grace Park, Rongzhen Zhou, and Shannon Park), I will you many more priceless res hall memories. Wherever you live for the rest of your time at IMSA, I will you the spirit of 03A, endless quesadillas, and a place to call home. Thanks for making my last year at IMSA so meaningful. Wise Words of Wisdom:<\/i> Jump.<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To Jack and Andrew, I will 1507. This place has been more than a home for me during the past 3 years, and I trust both of you to give the sophomores next year as good of an experience as I had. Take good care of the hall, and it will take care of you. <\/p>\n To Andrew, I will the title of sexiest man in 07. I encourage you to dance shirtless in front of all of your sophomores, and their lives will never be the same. Additionally, I will you the YELLO7 poster so that you may pass it down to your sophomores who will have even less of an idea of where it came from than you. I hope that it represents the essence and spirit of 07 for years to come. <\/p>\n To Jack Bad, I will you an actual home. You finally have a quad of your own, but you’ll probably still sleep on the floor anyway. To you I will half of the Quad poster, sign it and display it proudly in your quad. As the next in line of skinny white boy CDs, there’s a precedent that I know you’ll more than live up to. I will you the work ethic to get everything done, next year will be tough, but never forget to take time off to be dank. Finally, I will you sophomores to abuse as much as we’ve (lovingly) abused you. <\/p>\n To Christopher Tinkler, I will you a Brown and Blue Cherry MX switch. I can\u2019t tell you how often I sit at my desk and passively click one as a replacement for a stress ball. I hope they\u2019ll do the same for you. I hope that as the year comes to an abrupt end you\u2019ll find yourself in our quad even more often, for purely selfish reasons. You\u2019re one of the chilliest guys I know, and I\u2019m going to sincerely miss having you around. I wish you the best of luck next year, wherever it takes you. And know that I\u2019m very grateful you chose to come to IMSA, if only because I got the chance to get to know you. <\/p>\n To George Moe, I will you anything you want (except for your windows 8 boot disc). You have the unique ability to think of something and make it happen. Going through all of clash with you was an absolute blast, and I can\u2019t wait to see the stuff you pull out of your ass next year. You\u2019re blatantly one of the most competent people I\u2019ve ever met, which understandably can lead to numerous frustrations. To make sure you don\u2019t destress the wrong way, I will you the studtip poster. <\/p>\n To Deepshika and Grace, I will you classrooms of your own and co-facilitators as good as you were. The two of you are fabulous facilitators, and next year you will do fabulous things. Grace specifically, I will you a classroom with speakers, because that room was awful and no one deserves it. Deepshika, I will you a Starbucks gift card, because we were so close to winning it anyway. <\/p>\n To Jayoon Lee, I will you the struggle that is the clarinet section. Have fun with that! But honestly, you\u2019re quite good, so don\u2019t give it up too quick. <\/p>\n To Akash Palani, I will a box of jasmine tea so you don\u2019t die next semester. Hopefully it\u2019ll help you relax, because you\u2019ll need it. You\u2019re taking on a lot of responsibility next year, much of which I care deeply about. I feel like we\u2019re very similar people that for some reason didn\u2019t really find each other. Maybe we\u2019ll talk more before the end of the year, maybe we won\u2019t. Either way, I\u2019ll wish it had been more. <\/p>\n To Heena Srivastava, I will a similarly odd greeting procedure. I hope you find someone else\u2019s hair, nose, and adam\u2019s apple to touch with alarming frequency. I also will you the ability to be both really cute and Stalin at the same time, if anyone will follow in my footsteps, it will be you. <\/p>\n To the new JSA board (Ravali, Heena, Akash, Simon, Yuri), I will you GOOD LUCK. Please bring flavor back to the name of IMSA JSA, if anyone can do it, you can. Please speak often and well, and gavel every time. Additionally, I will you late night conversations and later night McDonalds runs, because sometimes, JSA is just about having fun. <\/p>\n To Sruti Mohan, I will a collaborative Spotify playlist. Our music tastes are eerily similar. I also will you a spoon because it is as absurdist and random as you are. Go forth and brighten other people\u2019s days as much as you consistently brighten mine. <\/p>\n To Yuri Oh, I will a nice, plump, juicy pig. You know why. You\u2019re a LEAD baby, a JSA buddy, and just a friend. And I have to say, besides being hyper talented, you just have your head screwed on right. You will do amazing things at IMSA, and hopefully take over the organizations that I love. Let\u2019s watch that episode of Black Mirror before I leave. <\/p>\n To Robert Lou, I will (something 07-y or smile-y). Whenever I interact with you it\u2019s in one of two ways: either we\u2019re having a deep conversation, or you\u2019re making me and everyone around you smile. Please continue to make 1507 a better place by gracing it with your wonderful personality. <\/p>\n To Bobby Luo, I will the residential life 2013 motto poster. You\u2019re one of the coolest cats in our wing, and I can\u2019t wait to see what you do with your junior year. Whatever it is, I hope this poster will help you stay focused as it has for me. <\/p>\n To Srivarun and Grace, I will the future of SocEnt. This program has given me joy, and sorrow, has brought me a lot of places, lead me to meet a lot of people, and taught me quite a bit on top of all of that. I hope you can both get the same amount out of it as I did. The coordinators certainly made the right choice, you two are going to do phenomenal things with this elective. <\/p>\n To Gedi Ngoya, I will the tiny black and pink tank top. Wear it to strike even more fear into the heart of your enemies, and continue to be a beast at dodgeball.<\/p>\n Wise Words of Wisdom:<\/i> Just be yourself! <\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List: <\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To Bobby Luo, I\u2019ve really enjoyed getting to know you over the past year. I hope you have a great junior year; I will you a picadillo on a cheese tortillo. <\/p>\n To Madison Dong, you\u2019re going to do great things as StudCo president! You never fail to impress me. I hope that your senior year is full of League, roller-skating, and worms. <\/p>\n To Jack Badalamenti, don\u2019t forget that IMSA is a very accepting community and I hope that you find the strength to come out to your friends. Honestly though I have had a great time getting to know you, especially as B-wing buds. I hope you somehow find a way to spend even more time playing League during your senior year. <\/p>\n To Jessica Lee, I will you a cat cuter than the one you currently have. <\/p>\n To Amy Yu, I will you a senior year full of long Snapchat streaks. <\/p>\n To Robert Lou, I had a fun time carrying you through German\/Kind. You\u2019re really good at everything you do (except German) and I know you\u2019ll do awesome things as a senior. I will you lots of Blinde M\u00e4user. <\/p>\n To Daniel Shin, there are a lot of things I could say. Suffice it to say I really value our friendship and I wish you all the best for your senior year; I will you lots of sh_9513 and shtephles. <\/p>\n To Shivali Shukla, I had a fun time getting to know you in our amazing Opinions Section! You\u2019ll make a great EIC; I will you the ability to publish in a timely manner. <\/p>\n To Stoyan Georgiev, I will you the German language. <\/p>\n To Rohit Mittapalli, I will you Discrete Mathematics. <\/p>\n To Alcaeus Lam, wow!<\/p>\n To Chris Tinkler, you\u2019re a really cool guy and I hope that you continue to be that way. I will you lots of ramen!<\/p>\n To Linnea Lee-Brown, you\u2019re really cool and I\u2019m sorry we don\u2019t talk as much anymore. I will you an amazing senior year.<\/p>\n Wise Words of Wisdom:<\/i> When in doubt, eat some chocolate. <\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/i><\/p>\n <i<Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To Aakash Lakshmanan, I honestly don\u2019t even know what to will you. A temple trip buddy? Someone as loyal and down-to-earth as you are? Better sleeping habits? I\u2019ve seen you grow (both literally and figuratively), and your passion for physics inspires me to no end, even though I have no idea of anything you try to explain to me. Your curiosity and your drive remind me constantly what it truly means to be an IMSA student. Maybe seven years down the road, we\u2019ll see each other in England, and I\u2019ll know that nothing has changed and that you\u2019ll still have always been my other little brother. <\/p>\n To Adrian Bebenek, I will you the ability to spell \u201cwery\u201d correctly, and I will you all the bad bio puns. I will you many more deep talks and the horror movie marathon we never had. I will you another sibling whose name signifies a liquid waste by-product of the body and rhymes with Susu and Siusiu. I will you to never lose your readiness to help and care for others; I know you\u2019ll become an amazing doctor. <\/p>\n To Advai Podduturi, I will you to say the guppy thing correctly. I also will you the patience to put up with your upperclassmen; you\u2019ll need it. <\/p>\n To Becca Lisk, I will you the energy you give to those around you. Your cheeriness and work ethic even in the roughest times are truly commendable, and I have no doubt that you\u2019ll make your dreams become living realities. Also, let\u2019s not crash any more weddings. <\/p>\n To Diann George, I will you a tennis partner as amazing as you are. Thank you for a great season. You truly are the sweetest, kindest person I know, and I will you to keep your smile as bright as you are and continue radiating happiness to everyone around you. <\/p>\n To Eshan Mehrotra, I will you better comebacks. I will you the ability to one day win a chess game, and I will you the kindness to not get innocent people in trouble with adults. I\u2019ll miss being mean to you, loser. <\/p>\n To Grace Ryan, I will you a great LEAD experience next year. I know you\u2019ll do amazing things with Enact, and I will you many more crazy 80\u2019s songs to jam out to before CORE modules. To Jack Badalamenti, I will you to be in a senior will. Don\u2019t be edited out. I also will you many more fun times in French. <\/p>\n To Jae Oh, I will you someone else to harass \u2013 I mean, sit with \u2013 on the SIR bus. I\u2019ll never forget the fun times. <\/p>\n To Justin Xu, I will you terrific trolling skills, not that you need any more than you already have. <\/p>\n To Melissa Mu, I will you endless math problems to do to your heart\u2019s content. I will you to not be as good at taking bad snapchats of people; it\u2019s an unnerving talent of yours. I hope you can truly find love for IMSA. It won\u2019t be with you forever so make the most of it while it is. And as intent as you are on doing math all the time, go crazy a little bit. <\/p>\n To Natalie Valentine, I will you all the joy that Pokemon Shuffle and Mario Kart bring. I\u2019m constantly amazed by your strength, and you really have inspired not only me, but everyone around you. I will you a quad for you to work your magic on and become their pet. And most importantly, I will you MORE ASIAGO. <\/p>\n To Nitya Talasila, I will you Prabhas. Just kidding, I can\u2019t do that. But I will you someone to listen to all the throwback Telugu songs with. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever find someone else to relate to in the same way as I do with you. I will you someone to say the same bad jokes at the same time with, and I will your positive energy to stay exactly how it is, no matter what.<\/p>\n To Robert Lou, I will you friendship. Don\u2019t let go of those who care for you. Though I\u2019ve told you so many times before, I\u2019ll tell you again – you really do make everyone around you happy, especially me. I will you a note to leave to another unsuspecting sophomore; one that they\u2019ll remember for a long time. You have the potential to do so much, and even if you feel conflicted, remember that it\u2019s alright to take risks. <\/p>\n To Rohit Mittapalli, I will you an amazing senior year in which I know you\u2019ll do amazing things. I will you new adventures without forgetting old ones. Know this: no matter where you are, what you\u2019re doing, or who you\u2019re with, I will always be there to gush about Marvel or judge you for liking physics or send you cat gifs. I will you a Telugu movie to watch, even if it\u2019s the last thing you do. Thank you for supporting me and believing in me to get through the dank meme phase of my life. Sincerely, your not-favorite senior. <\/p>\n To Wasan Kumar, I will you to go outside for once. You\u2019ll be okay, I promise. <\/p>\n To Yuri Oh, I will you a sophomore of your own like the one you were to me – one that will utterly undermine your authority as an upperclassman and revive you with seemingly endless energy. I will you hours wasted simply talking, laughing, or cuddling. You can do anything you set your mind to, and I want you to know that you are not inferior to anyone in any way. I can\u2019t wait to see what you do in the future. I will you to keep your infectious laugh even during the toughest of times. I will you a personal door-opener and many more bad puns on your name, and I will you someone else to provide you with massive amounts of food. I would will you the Kiely cutout, but uh\u2026oops. I only regret not having more time to spend with you. <\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament: <\/i><\/p>\n To KRISHI, I will the ability to hear \u201ctres, dos, uno\u201d without freaking out. I will you the aim to not get destroyed in bowling again at SLD week to avoid another night of weird dares. I will you the annual Caf\u00e9 Iberico trip for el clasico, and a good group of people willing to go on the trip. I will you the flag you almost never found because you thought it was in the tree. I will you a fun senior year in Spanish IV with Sr. Palos, and I hope you enjoy your senior year at IMSA to the fullest. Finally, since you are probably the hardest person to contact, I\u2019m going to make sure we stay in touch next year.<\/p>\n To Sagar, I will you whatever it takes to not spend seven consecutive hours on a math project you started at midnight so that no one who happens to walk into your room at 7 A.M., having just pulled an all-nighter themselves, sees you asleep, face-planted on ground in the middle of your room with your partner next to you still finishing the product. I will you the strength and entertainment you\u2019ll need to get through E&M second semester senior year without me if for some reason you chose to take that class. Finally, if you choose to accept, I will you the ability to raspberry.<\/p>\n To Wasan, I will you the ability to continue spreading your love for Paul Walker throughout IMSA. Maybe as a senior, people will take your lessons a little more seriously. Probably not though. I also will you the mysterious post-10 check antics that you used to hear so much about on the Tuesday nights of your sophomore year. Use them well.<\/p>\n To Tim Pan, I also will the ability to spread your love for Paul Walker throughout IMSA. In addition, since you already have the ability, I will you the motivation to break Dr. White\u2019s record and be the first person to ace one of her tests, even though you\u2019ll have a full year between the two semesters of organic.<\/p>\n To Yugan, I will you another person who can give you back massages next year. I also will you the ability to give better back massages so you can give them to others in need as well. As with Sagar, I will you the strength to get through E&M without the entertainment I provided if you choose to take it, and another person who you can play tank trouble with and teach my version of right-hand rule.<\/p>\n To Sam, I will you the ability to continue your vlogging career without the majority of the Italy squad. I hope to see your viral breakthrough spreading across the internet next year. I also will you another selfie bro.<\/p>\n To Sruti and Nikitha, I will you another great year of your LEAD experiences, and hope you enjoy your senior years.

I hope you have another great drill next year.<\/p>\n To Patrick, I will you the gains that you have been working so hard for this whole year. While it\u2019s great to have that much motivation, you should take a day off every once in a while and relax too. Honestly, you\u2019re a smart and passionate guy so I don\u2019t have much to will you there, but I will you another place where you can go spend a lot of your time next year like you have with us this year. Finally, I will you the grains, one of my most cherished things. I hope you can use them well.<\/p>\n Wise Words of Wisdom:<\/i> Don\u2019t let anyone else define you.<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To Caitlin O\u2019Callaghan, I will you someone to make you laugh as much as you\u2019ve made me laugh. You\u2019re a ray of sunshine and hold such a positive disposition and I can only hope that you maintain that throughout the hectic college application process next semester. I will someone who will share with you hilarious stories and quirky inside jokes. Know that I will always be a message or phone call away if you need a story, some gossip, or advice (as long as it\u2019s not about Webtech). <\/p>\n To Jessica Lee, I will you an underclassman who will share music recommendations with you for every occasion. I hope they will bring you back to our alternative\/EDM\/indie\/etc. genre of music\u2026 I hope you learn to relax a bit next year because I\u2019ve seen how hardworking you are and you deserve more time to enjoy your last year at IMSA. I will you little, Asian sophomores who you can take under your wing and feed. <\/p>\n To Hannah Cavagnetto, I will you an avocadho. I will you someone willing to go to Orchard with you, regardless of the weather. I will you someone who will listen to you rant about annoying people and who will comfort you when things go wrong. I will you an underclassmen who will unconditionally care for you and will share their chicken alfredo and chicken sandwiches with you. <\/p>\n To Sofia Rhode, I will you a hot Indian man who will appreciate you. I will you someone who will lie on the ground with you for over an hour and complain about boys because we all need to do that from time to time. I\u2019ll still be only a phone call away if the need for this occurs again. <\/p>\n To Jan Mangulabnan, I will you 1.5. All joking aside, I will you a senior year filled with relaxation and happiness (and more numbers). I\u2019m quite sad that I only truly got to talk to you and get to know you this last semester because your presence has definitely made my last semester more amusing. <\/p>\n To Neha Verma, I will you many more math adventures with our favorite person! I will you someone who will be there to protect Shubhi from the thirsty upperclassmen boys and lastly, I will you a dinner date with someone who\u2019s \u201ckinda lame and gross\u201d. <\/p>\n To Natasia Fafara, Nikhita Kasana, and Sweta Kotha, I will you many more adventures, late night jam parties, intense complaint sessions, (free) cups of cappuccinos, and twenty-thousand step days. Italy definitely wouldn\u2019t have been the same without you guys and I\u2019m glad we got to enjoy sharing the experiences of traveling with Lisa (our favorite!!), eating cone after cone of gelato, being hit on by Sam, checking out Italian \u2018Marios\u2019, marveling in awe at everything we saw, and complaining about the endless number of churches we saw. I promise you three a recording\/rendition of the ultimate rant that never happened. <\/p>\n To Jan, Eshan, and Shannon, I will you many more delightful semesters of math together. Thank you all for keeping Faithe and I sane and for carrying like the wonderful juniors you are. I will dearly miss our eighth mod shenanigans, so here\u2019s to Jan\u2019s \u201cEeeeshans\u201d, Shannon\u2019s random squealing, and our overall annoying presence to Ms. Dowling. <\/p>\n To Alvina Chen, I will you someone who will raise chicken children with you and season their insides with you because we both know that you\u2019re not strong enough for that. I will you someone who will stand by you when it seems like everything\u2019s going wrong, but your future squad will probably be there for that. Most importantly, I will you someone who will snapchat you some daily source of ew if we start slacking. <\/p>\n To Nitya Talasila, I will you late starts for your school days and someone who will struggle through your chemistry and biology courses with. I will you late nights working on projects only to be met with relief that they\u2019re not actually due. I will you one last, hysteria-filled night that will ultimately become a memory that you will think back on and laugh about. <\/p>\n To Tim Pan, I will you a senior year with minimal stress.

I will you ugly glances and creepy poses and snarky passing remarks and lastly, one Polaroid of the two of us so we can immortalize our hobbit-ness. <\/p>\n To Dhara Patel, I will you three more years with me and more cringe-worthy stories that I\u2019ll hear about. I will you amazing dance experiences\u2014you will come to cherish each one. I will you all of my college confidence because I was unsure about things just months ago and I\u2019m sure you may feel like that too, but know I will be free to help out or answer questions. <\/p>\n To Andrew Ye, I will you an amazing senior clash drill team and fantastic co-choreographers. I will you someone as compassionately caring as you but I\u2019m pretty sure you already have someone like that. <\/p>\n To Christopher Guo, I will you an easier junior year. I will you amazing underclassmen who will ultimately better your junior year and take your mind off of the stress of junior year\u2019s workload.

Although this isn\u2019t really mine to will because it\u2019s Lucy Yuan\u2019s baby, I am still quite excited to see what you four will do with it next year.

I hope you will surround yourself with people who are as caring as you and who are deserving of your friendship because your friendship is radiant and I am grateful to have gotten to know you this year. <\/p>\n To Robert Lou, I will you all of the memories that we didn\u2019t make. I will you someone who will be up for a movie at 3am and will then talk to you for an hour afterwards about it. I will you countless more trips to Starbucks and Panera and meaningful, fireside conversations about topics ranging from \u2018how hot Bradley Cooper is\u2019 to the \u2018meaning of life\u2019. I will you someone who you can have \u2018golden\u2019 silences with. I will you someone who will care for you unconditionally because even during the worst periods of our friendship, I still cared deeply for you.

You are so incredibly competent, hardworking, kind, sincere, gorgeous, (I could literally go on forever) and the most talented person I know, and never forget that. Wherever you\u2019ll live, I know you\u2019ll make it a better place, just like you made 06 (and especially A wing) a million times better. Remember you can always talk to me about anything and that you are capable of doing anything you want to in life. Most of all, I will you zero stress and the best senior year you could ever imagine! No one deserves it more :D<\/p>\n To Caitlin O\u2019Callaghan, I will you all of the PSLs, pierogis, chocolate, exotic Hawaiian desserts, soccer games with Jose Palos, a successful half-marathon, a balloon with two dots that you can name sketchy things, tea for when Aunt Flo visits, and punny Halloween costumes. I will you someone to reenact strange Creative Writing stories with, to read your Eysturlid essays and Prince projects, to sit up with until 3am doing math, and to have snapchat battles with in orchestra. I also will you a fabulous SIR with Adubs (!!) or whoever it may be. You are the sweetest, most athletic, competent, creative, caring, beautiful, kind person and I can\u2019t ever explain how grateful and lucky I am to have a junior as you. You will be so incredibly successful no matter what you do, and words can\u2019t explain how much I\u2019m going to miss you. Have the best senior year in the world, and remember I\u2019m just a snapchat away <3 <\/p>\n To Katrina Kuhn, my dear nuez, I will you more color-coordinated Post-its to organize your insanely busy life, the best Spanish V class ever with Ati, pictures and videos of baby sloths and alpacas, and someone far shorter than you to hug. I will you someone that will yell updates about the election through the door while you are showering, talk to you about politics, try to help you find your keys (if you ever lose them which you won\u2019t because you actually have your life together), listen to you rant about boys for hours, and sit on your floor to eat dinner. I seriously admire your commitment and dedication, and I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to do without you reminding me to get off Facebook and telling me the difference between llamas and alpacas. Don\u2019t stay up too late watching Grey\u2019s Anatomy and actually get some sleep. Have the best senior year ever! <\/p>\n To Samhita Inampudi, first of all, you are so fabulous.

I will you a drama-free senior year, someone to ride the train with, and someone to entertain endlessly with your flawless Indian accents. I will you lots of long talks about the ridiculousness of college applications, and with that, I wish you a stress-free college application process. Always remember that you\u2019re so hardworking, competent, and gorgeous, and you are literally capable of doing anything you want and going anywhere you want. I wish I was going to be there to visit your future quad and rant with you in person next year, and I know you\u2019ll make wherever you live a million times better. Have a chill senior year, and I\u2019ll miss you tons! <3<\/p>\n To Vadini Agrawal, from meeting you because of piano four -ish years ago until now, I\u2019m so glad I got to know you. My only regret is that I didn\u2019t visit your room enough and that I\u2019m not going to be able to visit your quad next year in person, but I will you a fabulous senior year. Remember you can always hit me up whenever and I can\u2019t wait to see the crazy amazing things you\u2019re going to do in the future! <\/p>\n To Ishita Bhattacharya, my nubby, first off, thank you for being one of the best friends I could ever ask for. Even though I always tell you I hate you, I only hate you 98% of the time. I will you lots of Chris Evans posters, German soccer players, wins for Bayern (JK NOPE), art classes that you\u2019re going to have to bear by yourself, gross Snapchat selfies, and more charcoal portraits of cute guys. I will you someone to nap with you at parties, to take ratchet photos on stairs with, to analyze annoyingly vague Facebook\/text messages with, to take vacays with (along with Atreyee), to leave insulting Post-Its on your posters, to talk about dumb idiot boys with, to visit Noah Prince with, and to watch the future Avengers movies with. I can\u2019t explain how much I\u2019m going to miss your dumb self lying on my bed and eating my food. Even though you\u2019re actually a gross human bean and will always be a nub, I will you the best, most amazing junior year ever. <\/p>\n To Radeesha Jayewickreme, first off, thank you for not judging me based on the first time you met me (when you had to sit on a mattress on the ground and deal with my endless salt and useless advice). I will you someone to have sleepovers with, to talk about college and life and everything in between, and to stress about over life with. Never forget how ridiculously smart, beautiful, hilarious, and adorable you are. Also, most importantly, I will you the Ferret\/Bug Pose.

I also will you a Clash place that isn\u2019t 7th :D I know you guys are going to be incredible CDs, and you\u2019re only going to make the hall better than it was.<\/p>\n Wise Words of Wisdom:<\/i> Make time for those who matter.<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/p>\n Last Testament<\/i><\/p>\n To Deepshika Sudhakar, I will you a fun, stress-free senior year with no regrets.

I will you an underclassman friend who will hug you every time you see them. Lastly, I will you lots of Facetime sessions\u2026.with me\u2026because I\u2019ll miss you so much next year. Damn it, this actually sucks D: Thinking about not seeing you everyday next year actually makes me hate the idea of leaving IMSA more and more. You have accomplished so much this year with LEAD, Diwali (A+ dancing skills), Clash talent show, etc. and I am infinitely proud of you. I care for you like you are my younger sister and in many ways, you are. I hope you know how much you mean to me.<\/p>\n To Caitlin O\u2019Callaghan, I will you more midnight garlic bread and Matt\u2019s cookies parties.

And lastly, I will you an underclassman friend who brings you as much happiness and you bring to me. You are one of most optimistic, cheerful, hardworking and multi-talented people I\u2019ve ever met.

I will you a memorable and successful senior year with little regrets. I\u2019ve seen you put so much time into your extracurriculars like KI, SCIA and tutoring so I can\u2019t wait to see you take charge in them and make them your own. Lastly, I will you wonderful times with your underclassmen friends, who I know mean just as much to you and you mean to me. <\/p>\n To Heena Srivastava and Shivali Shukla, I will you the Acronym. Being EIC of the Acronym has been one of the best aspects of senior year and I know you two will take great care of it. Take risks, introduce big changes to the Acronym, and be confident in your abilities. Make IMSA students care about student journalism. Take everything Andrew and I did and do it better.<\/p>\n To Sargam, Shruthi and Elizabeth, I will you a fun, stress-relieving swim season and even better lane mates to enjoy it with. Swimming this year was enjoyable to me because I had you guys to skip sets with. Junior year can be hell so use swimming as a way to relieve stress and spend time with friends. Remember that all those morning practices and swim meets aren\u2019t worth it if you don\u2019t enjoy it so don\u2019t be afraid to slow down and let yourself relax a little.<\/p>\n To Sweta Kotha, I will you less stress with all your future coding assignments. I don\u2019t know how I would have survived Advanced Programming without you there to complain and be confused with me.

I also will you happier and less stressful times in your English classes next year. Have a great junior year, bud. <\/p>\n To Aakash Lakshmanan, I will you a junior who will sit at your math table and sleep in class. I will you more satisfaction senior year because I know you\u2019re really hard on yourself.

I will you the knowledge that you will be alright even though you\u2019ve been so hard on yourself lately.

You are one of the sweetest and nicest people I have ever met so stay like that, even when junior year tries hard to change you.<\/p>\n To the rest of the 06D rising juniors, this school year will be extremely tough but rely on your wing mates to get you through the tough times. I know that some of you are leaving the wing or even the hall but I truly think you will always have a home in this 06D. <\/p>\n To the 06D rising seniors, I will you a bomb AF senior year. Don\u2019t party too hard second semester.<\/p>\n Wise Words of Wisdom:<\/i> We’re gonna be alright<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/i><\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To Arya, I will you a part in next year’s Diwali show since I know you really want one ;). Seriously though, good luck to you and the rest of ISA and have a fantastic junior and senior year.<\/p>\n To Simon, I will you the Crystal Lake Central legacy. Maybe this is a mistake but I figure it’ll probably be alright. I’m not sure if this works but I’ll also will you the ability to not look confused all the time too. You’ve got a lot of potential and I hope you get to realize as much of it as possible as a senior.<\/p>\n To Jae and Wasan, I will you 05. As CDs, you two have the potential to improve our hall and I want to see 05 be the best it can be next year. Good luck with Clash!<\/p>\n To Wasan, I will you the classic 05Bdown armchair. Jonah and I stole it this year, but it’s time that it returns to its home. I also will you another pair of stone-gray polo shoes because you threw yours in the wash :P. Have fun next year, but don’t do anything too stupid.<\/p>\n To Sagar, I will you the 16 god poster Jonah and I painted in honor of our similar music taste.

Working with you has been thoroughly enjoyable (for me at least :P), and don’t let what Aadit says get you down – I expect you to do great things as president next year.<\/p>\n To Jack, I will you a junior who calls you dank every time he sees you and loves you for being the meme that you are.<\/p>\n To Nabeel, I will you nothing. You have immense talent and already have the skills necessary to be successful at IMSA and in the future. Have awesome junior and senior years!<\/p>\n To Pranav, I will you something that will make you smile for once.<\/p>\n Wise Words of Wisdom:<\/i> Only you can prevent wildfires.<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/i><\/p>\n Bucket List:<\/p>\n Last Testament:<\/i><\/p>\n To Master George Moe, I will you the spiritual blade of the lumberjack\u2019s axe. With this blade you will be able to chop down any trees or other obstacles that cross your path as you continue on your journey to become the man we all dream of becoming. <\/p>\n To Master Jack Badalamenti, I will you Pingu\u2019s nose.

I also will you an apology for the massive memes of you that have been created.<\/p>\n To Master Larry Donahue, I will my knowledge of memes. But please, don\u2019t go overboard with this. Your class already memes too much, so you may have to tone it down for junior year and come back strong as a second semester senior.<\/p>\n To Heena Srivastava, I will you complete credit for the creation of the \u201ccabbage\u201d meme.<\/p>\n To Master Pranav Reddy, I will something to make you less second-semester-senior than you already are and someone else to get you through the Fran\u00e7ais struggle next year.<\/p>\n To Arturo Granados, I will you a spray bottle.

Too bad we didn\u2019t do too many brother-sister wing activities. But I will try to will an Ice Rink event too.<\/p>\n To Cecilia Chang – I will you great times at ISP.

Over the past couple years we\u2019ve been through so much together; choreographing drill together, walking like we have nowhere to be, watching countless Les Twins YouTube Videos, dancing for too long in public to Spotify playlists, realizing we\u2019re the same age, winning concert tickets and surviving PAD together. You\u2019ve honestly become one of my best friends at IMSA. Even though we\u2019ll be in different places next year we HAVE to stay in touch. I can\u2019t wait to hear all about your trip to Japan and every wild thing that goes on during your senior year. I\u2019ll miss you lots Hunty. <\/p>\n To Amy Liu, I will you awesome underclassmen that live in 03 next year.

I can\u2019t wait to see all the amazing things you achieve. <\/p>\n To Camryn, I will you the confidence to lead AASA. I can\u2019t believe it was less than two years ago that you were this little sophomore that didn\u2019t know what they were doing. But as sophomore year turned into junior year, you blossomed. Before my eyes, you\u2019ve grown into such an intelligent, strong, and independent woman. As AASA\u2019s new president, I have faith that the entire community will be proud to call you their leader. Overall, never let others put you down and always believe in yourself. <\/p>\n To Clinton, I will you an underclassman that puts up with your shenanigans like I do. I\u2019ll miss our banter next year, but most of all I\u2019ll make miss your spirit. I will you an exciting yet stressful junior year. If you ever need anything, I\u2019ll be there for you. Whether it\u2019s about AASA, school, or your dabbing skills, I\u2019ll only be a Snapchat away.<\/p>\n To Jaszmine, I will you a tranquil senior year. You\u2019ve worked so hard the past two years while also balancing volleyball and basketball. Now it\u2019s finally time to relax. But don\u2019t relax too much and fall asleep in the RC office because Aishat will Snapchat you twitching again. Anyways, don\u2019t be too hard on yourself. Enjoy your senior year. You deserve it! <\/p>\n To Jessica Lee, I will you an incredible volleyball season and senior year. I have no doubt in my mind that you\u2019ll be a great right side hitter, probably better than me. Next year is going to be hectic, but make sure you relax, have fun, and takes things one step at a time. It\u2019ll all be worth it in the end, I promise.<\/p>\n To Nathan, I will you two more years of IMSA in which your ear is not harmed multiple times. From injuring your ears multiple times, tutoring you in Excel, recording you while you pretended to be Drake at Harambee rehearsals, and being partners for Chicago Two-Step partner, we\u2019ve grown as good friends. Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll try and visit next year to make sure you and Clinton aren\u2019t getting into too much trouble during your junior year. Take care of each other.<\/p>\n To Nyxel, I will you a future boxing match, just kidding. We never did get the chance to battle each other except that one time you punched my phone. Anyways, ever since I tutored you in Excel, we\u2019ve become close friends and even my daughter. That\u2019s why I will you a successful junior year. They\u2019ll be times when you\u2019re stressed out, but trust me; it will all be worth it when you\u2019re done. Oh and take care of your son. Maybe I\u2019ll visit IMSA next year and we can play \u201cFrisbee\u201d with squad again. <\/p>\n To Robert, I will you an underclassman that enjoys your defensive maneuvers as much as I did. From dance team and volleyball I\u2019ve seen how you can make anyone\u2019s day a whole lot brighter. I can\u2019t wait to see all that you accomplish. Have a great senior year Brittany. Make sure not to get into any trouble and always embrace the tortilla chip!<\/p>\n To Tessa, Tessa, Tessa, Tessa, \u2026 I will you the perseverance, strength, and vulnerability that come along with junior year. There will be many ups and downs, but I know you can overcome any challenge because of your heart and your determination to prove others wrong. I\u2019m definitely gonna miss your artistic flare to my room next year, your smile, and your occasional plates of rice on the floor. Oh and how could I forget your dance duets with Sona. Thanks for all these humorous memories. Anyways, since I won\u2019t be there next year, just remember to always be true to yourself and never be afraid to ask for help. I believe in you Tessa.<\/p>\n To Yasmin, I will you a successful senior year. I know you\u2019ll be an amazing AASA vice president, PME leader, ISP expert, and mentor. Hopefully I can come to Harambee next year and see how you\u2019ve grown as a role model for the underclassmen. In general, just remember to keep academics first and make sure you don\u2019t overwhelm yourself. So stay focused, relax, and overall make lasting memories during your last year at IMSA. <\/p>\n To Harsh, Vadini, and Pranav, I leave you with Key Club. I\u2019m so glad I\u2019ve gotten to work with the three of you this year. From bonding during meetings to planning new events, I couldn\u2019t have asked for better juniors to make my job as president an easy one. I can\u2019t wait to catch up with you guys next year and see how Key Club has evolved. Take care of my baby. Oh and make sure that the \u201cLeon\u201d tradition doesn\u2019t get past on to the new board members. <\/p>\n To 03ers, Thanks for being a part of my home for the past three years. My IMSA experience wouldn\u2019t have been the same without all of you.<\/p>\n

\nTo Amy Liu, I will you allll the gains. And all the FPS accolades. I also will you underclassmen that are as crazy and amazing and fun as you, and I will you the power to manage all of your many commitments :p<\/p>\n
\nTo Yuri Oh and Nikhita Kasana, I will you lots of laughter and big smiles, just like you have given to me. I will you close friends and the best hugs, and I hope that you\u2019ll have two more years full of endless enthusiasm and happiness.<\/p>\n
\nTo Aakash Lakshmanan, I will you a quality SIR advisor (which I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll find, don\u2019t worry). I will you a fulfilling IMSA experience and a fulfilling college experience after that, and I will you SIR bus rides full of laughter and shade and fun. You\u2019re going to do big things, I\u2019m sure, and I\u2019m excited to see what those things are.<\/p>\n
\nTo everyone at IMSA who I can call a friend and who I couldn\u2019t fit in a short list of twenty, I will you the ability to impact others just as you have impacted me. Every one of you has shaped me and my IMSA experience in some way, and I can never thank you enough for it.<\/p>\n

\nHerschel Gupta \u2013 I will you a better music playlist so your next SocEnt co doesn\u2019t have to listen to that trash. I kid, I kid. You\u2019ve really been there through it all, from orientation to ISA to MCB to LEAD. I can talk to you about anything, and I can\u2019t appreciate your sincerity enough. No matter what you do, you give it your absolute all, and I know you\u2019ll have a successful senior year. Keep working hard. <\/p>\n
