On a serious note, thanks for being the dynamic duo with Maddie for post 10 check activities. Pancake nights were peak as well as watching movies and Jordan Henry themed Jeopardy. Never let anyone dull your spark, and hope you finally get some motion (it would take a miracle)!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Maddie Guzman, I will you a college experience just like your Sims world. I also will you infinite Sims expansion packs and a roommate who&#8217;s BBL is not constantly dissolving. Thanks for being lit in my wing both soph and junior year. I&#8217;ve missed you this past month that you have been away and the post 10 check chats that followed. I appreciate that you expanded my vocabulary (ie headcannon) and your many hair crises. I hope you have a lit rest of your life Maddie!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Emerson Blair, (or should I say Dr Blair?) I will you a life full of trolling and success. I appreciate that you don&#8217;t take anything that seriously; it&#8217;s very refreshing here. You are always on top of your academics. It&#8217;s crazy and you were prolly the best big sib I could ask for. I&#8217;ll miss you in soccer and basketball next year, although I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll be very happy to never step foot here again. UMKC doesn&#8217;t know what&#8217;s coming for them(say hi to my grandparents and Patrick Mahomes for me).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Rhea Shah, I will you a permanent gorilla pointing finger and the ability to dunk. Thank you for playing point guard for me when I really really really didn&#8217;t want to play it. You are very morally sound and are lowk a thinker especially on robot 2 with the generational bop code. I&#8217;ll miss you very mucho in basketball, RIPto ooh la la it&#8217;s Rhea Shah. Have fun at UIUC being a CS major, I know you&#8217;ll do great and never stop showering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Gabi Boscarino, I will you lots of raves and parties in college even though you aren&#8217;t going to a party school by any means. Thanks for dealing with all of us on ICA and with certain things that didn&#8217;t go as planned (cough cough, where are the crackers?). Have so much fun, God\u2019s got you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"Aditya Tiwari\"><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Aditya Tiwari<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Ibrahim Bah, I will you security-repellant knives (for a kitchen), unlimited women&#8217;s cardigans from the thrift store, and all-you-can-eat grilled cheese. Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Bah\u2026 Boogie, my pookie bear\u2026 In all seriousness, I don\u2019t know how I\u2019ll do D-wing next year without you. You were my first introduction to IMSA as a sophomore, and I hope you know the ways that you helped change who I was. In fact, I\u2019ll list some of them: I owe my love of 05 to you, my addiction to pokemon, my faith in honesty in relationships and friends, grilled cheeses, and so SO many hugs that kept me going. You made my hall, for the last two years, feel like a home\u2013 and I don\u2019t know how I could ever repay you. I\u2019ll remember you forever as the heart that kept on giving, and the hands that would get tired helping, and the mind that never gave up asking. I know you\u2019re not going super far, and I hope you never get too far from me. When you can, come back to us, Sumaer and I would love grilled cheeses with you any time. And when you\u2019re not with us, change the world for the better; teach people how to heal like you taught me, teach people to love like you showed us, and cook for people the way you Iron-Chef-ed in 05.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Krish Ganesan, I will you a ban on Hero in Smash, caffeine without caffeine, and a real-life clips feature for our ever increasing soundboard. You might be the funniest person I know on campus\u2013your *laugh* (the devious one) might BE the funniest thing on campus. In every way, this year, you and Bah have defined what seniors in 05 can be\u2013a real kindness that I can\u2019t really get enough of. So while I never will lend you caffeine ever again (especially mochas), I\u2019m so thankful that I got to make the happy accidents we got to make together. Those happy accidents can be getting locked out of D-wing too late at night, or getting too distracted during E&amp;M. I\u2019m so excited to see you working for Lockheed Martin in two years, absolutely living down the amazing obsessions you\u2019ve had with aerospace. Like Ibrahim, you better come back with the whole roommate pair you\u2019re going to be. And PLEASE keep being the funniest guy in the room. In a parenthetical will that applies for both you and Ibrahim, I will you a billion instagram followers for the dance account that WILL exist when you\u2019re rooming next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Josefh Hernandez, I will you even more flannel shirts to wear to RSL meetings. I didn\u2019t get to know you early enough, and I\u2019m so thankful that I did get to meet you through the gem that is the 05 RSL program. I couldn\u2019t say how thankful I am that I was able to lead with the likes of the seniors in the best RSL program on campus (Stephanie Broy approved), very much due to you. You and Marina exemplified a comforting group of people that I could always count on to be proud of me, and I\u2019m so so proud of you and what you could do for IMSA. Next time, when you\u2019re back, I\u2019ll run an even better Josefh Hernandez summoning event and finally find some jokes other than the Student Parent handbook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Advayth (Adi) Pashupati, I will you a computer for CompuSci, paper for MVC, and 10 million compliments. I knew I\u2019d be having so much fun with my doppelganger when I first moved in, but I never knew how much time we\u2019d end up spending together. You are TRULY brilliant at the things you do, and I think the only thing that\u2019s holding you back at any given time is second guessing. So in college, don\u2019t second guess yourself. Be the insanely cracked nerd and musical guy you are and reach out to be people and connect them like you connected people in D-wing before I was even here. You\u2019re going to do amazing things, and I can\u2019t wait to celebrate them with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Jacob Nendza, I will you sunglasses that automatically play the James Bond theme song and transform into a black suit when you turn it on. Your will might be the easiest one to write because I\u2019ve had the image of a gift I\u2019d give you if I had unlimited money\u2013 and I think a world with sunglasses like these on your forehead would be a better world. We\u2019ve messed around enough these last few years that I\u2019ll be thinking about what you\u2019d do in a MUN crisis when it happens, and your unending support for my work and passions will be something I look up to for the rest of my life. I\u2019m so proud of you and your work this year, and I\u2019m so happy that I have a friend as mental as you that I can boast about to literally anyone I know. Do awesome stuff in college, and change the world while you\u2019re at it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Kavya Uppal, I will you an Instagram account you can send any reel to without judgement and the computer embodiment of Advayth Pashupati as Copilot in your visual studio. You have been INCREDIBLY locked in all the time at IMSA\u2013doing something in some IDE literally every time that I ever saw you\u2013and you still somehow had time to be so many things for so many people. For me, you were a genuinely awesome friend on campus, someone I could rely on to laugh around with and mess around with regardless of what was going on, especially during the legendary 1-2 A-C breaks last year. In college, I hope you get all of the time in the world to be creative with every little idea you get, and that everyone there sees how passionate you are about the things in the world you want to change. And I KNOW you\u2019ll make sure of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Saad and Asad Sheikh, I will you Insane XVII on Boss Hunt on Brawl Stars. I never got to really finish that quest up with you guys the first time we met, but I\u2019m sure Sumaer and I will find our sophomores to live that legacy on with you guys. Both of you seemed so cool in sophomore year, and I was so happy to learn that you were just as chill this year. I\u2019m so excited to see the absolute devious nonsense yall are going to get up to next year. Additionally, for some individual wills, I will Asad a Saady Shake-it chant in college, and Saad an auto flight-emote button.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Neev Patel, I will you a pair of stylish earmuffs. What more could I say about THE locked in IMSA contributor: Neev \u201cAI Center\u201d Patel. I\u2019ve always said to Tami that I was convinced that you somehow got into Hermoine\u2019s time turners because there is NO way someone can do so much for so many people on campus the way you do. D15 became my \u201cungeeking\u201d room this year, and I thank you for the amount of random stuff you\u2019d have to tune out while still encouraging me\u2013the silliest balance I\u2019ve ever seen you walk. Next year, I\u2019ll be working hard to fill in your footsteps for the world you wished to bring on campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Navya Dixit, I will you FermiLab\u2019s LinAc. You might have been one of the first few people on campus I learned about who was as interested in physics as you were. I think we met half by accident, because I didn\u2019t know which room to go to during last year\u2019s IMSAloquium and I followed Anaika(?) to your presentation\u2026 I am SO happy I got to grill you with questions last year. This year, I think I\u2019ve sat near you in almost every class I\u2019ve thoroughly enjoyed: Mod Phys and CWW, the wildest spectrum of classes, messing around with Spotify\u2019s daylist (not playlist) or you listening to me riot about something going on in the class. In college, I\u2019m so excited to celebrate you finding the last neutrino and some therapist to talk about your \u201cpeople pleasing poetic Friday evenings!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Kavin Venkat, I will you forbidden Brawl Stars gatcha-mechanic opening strategies. You\u2019ve stuck out to me as an anomaly of a chill guy on campus, and I\u2019ll never forget those sleepovers last year. It sucks that you ended up leaving 05 for your last year, because I would have enjoyed the time to mess around with you when we could. Thankfully for our addiction, Brawl Stars is an online game, so keep me updated about your nuts luck no matter where you end up doing whatever you will. I\u2019ll miss you man!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Nelly Pinon, I will you a new pair of knees. We talked a lot the last two years through the randomest of connections (often Anaika) and I\u2019ve been thankful for every one of those conversations. Your work ethic and dedication to IMSA\u2019s community is insane and honestly unmatched, running the mental amount of dances you did during Casa the years I did. If you do as much for your community in college as you did here, you\u2019ll make the world better no matter where you end up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To all of the seniors I missed, I will you the popping of the IMSA bubble. I\u2019m happy to say that I\u2019m here at IMSA now looking up to people like you; students that are passionate about things in the world with the capacity to change it. And you\u2019ve proven that to me through the classes I\u2019ve had with you and random ways I\u2019ve met you in the hallway. I thank you so much for the impact you\u2019ve had on my life and my future. Looking ahead now, I know you\u2019re all going to do amazing things because you\u2019re amazing people. To basically every senior who\u2019s spent time with me the last few years, I will you my unending admiration and assistance (glazing or otherwise). You\u2019ve done so much already and now, the easiest of them all, prove to the world that we are Illinois\u2019 Best and Brightest\u2013 and just keep on going.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"Aimanohi Imoukhuede\"><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Aimanohi Imoukhuede<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Fiyin Akinyemi, my little big sib, I will you age! Thank you for being there for me in the beginning of it all! Despite willing you age, you are so wise and you have given me so much advice not just in IMSA but in life, and you continue to give me insight in everything! Thank you for talking to me when you didn\u2019t need to, and helping me out. I wish you the best, and I hope to see you again next year!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Caitlyn Nguyen, I will you pho noodles! I know that we haven\u2019t been able to talk for a while, but thank you for talking to me during sophomore year and always spending time with me! I remember our movie nights and our sleepovers and I also loved our conversations, as well. Thank you for sharing your perspectives on everything! I hope that you enjoy going to college, and I know that when you get there, you will continue to be that nice and interesting person!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Djamila Njikam, I will you peace! Thank you so much for always being there for me, talking to me whenever I had a question, and going on walks. You have such a calming soul and you are so easy to talk to, and I really am going to miss you when you go to college!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Nelly Pinon, I will you happiness in your dance journey! Thank you so much for being with me during Casa and being such a kind and encouraging person even when I was going a little crazy! Casa was very stressful, but I am thankful that we were able to push through! I hope that you continue to dance during college, and I can\u2019t wait to see what you do in the future!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Manu Mamillapalli, I will you an A in Graphic Design. I love our talks after 10 check, from the conversations ranging from Graphic Design to college! Thank you for giving me insight and also for helping me with my projects too. I absolutely loved that I was able to meet you and get to know you. You are such an inspiration!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Max Chen and Brian Leong, I will you the time to watch anime in college! Thank you for allowing me to be part of the Anime Club! I love that I was able to meet you two and that you always answered my questions! Brian, thank you for helping me with my flyers in Anime Club and giving me the best advice on them. Thank you for opening my eyes to different types of graphic styles, and challenging me to improve on my flyers. Max, thank you for entrusting me with my position, and I promise Anime Club will cook next year!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Asad Sheikh and Anjali Samal, I will you unlimited Doordash. Thank you so much for introducing me to Modern. Modern challenged me in so many ways, and really improved my dancing and techniques. Anjali, I enjoyed Modern, thank you for your direction and for your leadership. Also, thank you for always allowing me to be myself, even if it was a little rude. Asad, thank you for your patience and also for teaching me whenever you had free time, genuinely you are such a big brother and I hope that you enjoy college, also I am not mad at you anymore, trust. Both of you, I can\u2019t wait to see the great things that you do not just in college but in dance. You both inspire me a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"Akshat Chouhan\"><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Akshat Chouhan<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Jaden Blankenship, I will you the best in life. I don\u2019t remember how we met exactly or when we got so close, but I can&#8217;t remember a time at IMSA when you weren&#8217;t there for me. You helped me through so much these two years. We\u2019ve been through so much together, from French and m4m, to the podcasts and deep talks about life, to the turkey, to the gas station, to math and photography, to the freestyles, and the 7 game basketball series (of which you won a single game). You have always been there for me when I needed it and I really appreciate it. You better stay in touch when you&#8217;re in college. I love you FR, bro, u ma n forever and ever. (von my favorite artist), nah but fr, I love you jaden. (peep the double entendre)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Anjali Samal, I will you great things moving forward (better than turnip and artist). Although you&#8217;re incompetent, (you can\u2019t disagree because of the contract) I still had a great time crashing out when teaching you. From your advice and comedic relief value, I love spending time with you. The henna turned out really good. Matt and I will be pulling up next year for truth or truth again, so have fun. I hate to say it, but I\u2019m gonna miss you next year (I don&#8217;t hate you).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Tristen Castillo, I will you nonchalance. You haven&#8217;t heard I\u2019m sakamoto. On a real note though, I want to thank you for all the unc advice you\u2019ve given me and how you helped me. Even after buzzing your hair you had crazy wisdom and knowledge. You\u2019ve been so much fun at vball and in the hall. I remember how having talks with you just cleared things up, and most importantly let me strengthen my relationship with God. I genuinely can&#8217;t thank you enough, but I will be praying for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To EmmaLi Isham, I will you the ability to not zone out mid convo. The serious waltz is still a huge reference. Every time I saw you, you were almost always rushed in between meetings and work. I hope you have been able to sign off from all the crazy things you\u2019ve got going on, and I&#8217;m really happy I got to know you better these last few weeks. Thank you so much for all the conversations we had, and I want you to know I&#8217;ll be praying for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Jake Belonio, I will you to turn your text notifications on. You\u2019re not a celebrity, bruh, answer my texts when I&#8217;m trying to learn how to backflip. Also, teach me how to backflip (and don&#8217;t tell anyone about the fail). Thank you for forcing me to do drill, I was able to get over my fear of dancing like a bum because of it. You\u2019re a great dancer and vball player, and I wish you the best wherever the wind takes you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Tommy Blough, I will you a great time in the future. Honestly, you made a huge mistake when you told me about the microphones and then said that Matt and I wouldn&#8217;t be able to turn it on. There may or may not be Lexington shenanigans next year. The DiffEq struggle is not real, you should have stayed. I\u2019m really grateful we were in the same wing last year and how we were able to really talk about things. You helped me get a lot better at vball and I wish great things upon you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Nikhil Kodali, I will you a spine. Stop taking everything like a good boy, Nikhil. I\u2019m just playing, but I had so much fun with you on vball. From the west gym to Intersession, and our cooked minus tempo, it&#8217;s been a great time getting to know you. T up Nikhil, or I\u2019m tickling you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Jongwoo Kim, I will you a great future. I&#8217;ve had a lot of fun getting to know you from vball and swim and I&#8217;m so grateful I was able to meet such a good person and athlete. You better be on watch next year because the Lexington shenanigans are gonna be even crazier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"Alain Bedi\"><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Alain Bedi<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Brian Leong, I will you my ASMR playlist (which you already have access to). I remember one of our first interactions sophomore year where you came into my room and traumatized my roommate by playing some of the videos that I had saved. It was an experience that would eventually snowball into the friendship we have today. I have yet to find another person that I share as much in common with as you. We both enjoy vtubers, we both go to the gym, and we both have similar addictions and Achilles heels. I am so glad you were my RSL last year, and I know you will go on to do great things someday. Perhaps someday you\u2019ll be the next member of Holostars EN or some other vtuber company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Kyle Elzy, I will you infinite bacon but no games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Georgi Panchev, I will you all the exotic tea in the world and more great hangout times with your college friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Nolan Hansen, I will you a brandished obsidian knife.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Sydney Hunter, I will you many cameras and your very own ISP room to crawl into.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Brent Rodrigo, I will you a songbook with tenor focused songs, as well as a piano that never goes out of tune.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"Amada Garcia\"><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Amada Garcia<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Yicole Ng, I will you an upperclassman as sweet and friendly as you. I know you (and I, which is why I relate) have suffered through some\u2026questionable ones. You are so dedicated to your clubs and you\u2019re so cute and funny, I admire you a ton. Thank you for recognizing my aura, I also will it to you so that all your upperclassmen next year think you\u2019re as cool as I know you are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Shanya Yang, I will you infinite digi cam flicks that are main worthy. I have to start by saying you were definitely my favorite EXCEL tutor. I wish I got to hang out with you more during your time here but I\u2019m so, so glad we got to spend time together at Prom because you\u2019re so goated and funny and nonchalant. I know you\u2019re going to thrive in college and I wish you the best. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Dael Garzon Torres, I will you a tacocat. Wait, now read it backwards. Woah. Now think about that feeling. That\u2019s how amazed I am by you. You\u2019re so funny and stylish and cool and a bunch of other things, but I\u2019m not gonna glaze you too hard. Good luck with your straightsona in college, please please please keep in touch so you can come back and see Casa next year. You\u2019re part of the reason I\u2019m so motivated to work my butt off on it and do a bajillion dances every year and put my all into it out of pure passion. You inspire me to work harder, and I appreciate you for doing so much your senior year. I know everyone will love you in college, but please pay a visit sometime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Navya Dixit, I will you an amazing freshman year. You\u2019re so funny and smart and an amazing dancer. I appreciate you so much because of how much you contribute to the IMSA community. Senior game in Clash was actually the craziest aura farming I\u2019ve ever seen, and you did such a great job in Salsa. I&#8217;m so proud of how you managed to be so happy and active despite the prime SSS season. It\u2019s so fun to be around you and I know you\u2019ll keep bringing a smile to people\u2019s faces wherever you go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Jordan Henry, I will you one minute of me being nice to you\u2026starting now. I actually had to think really hard about this and choosing between barley, a (extra) floral plaything, esoteric and niche music, frozen peas, canned tuna and chicken (what are you, a war vet?), a Dr. Miami appointment\u2026IDK, there\u2019s a lot going on with you. I suppose I\u2019m obligated to say that I actually don\u2019t hate you and I love being around you, lurking in your room that always smells like illegal candles and incense. Thank you for the pancake nights and ice cream and laughs, I\u2019ll miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Madison Guzman, I will you radio head since you are always talking about it. :) Genuinely, those few months you were out for your pregnant hemorrhoid lobotomy was a sad taste of what it\u2019ll be like next year. You\u2019re always there to indulge me and Cindy\u2019s silliness, so it\u2019s sort of bittersweet. I am so happy and proud of you for making it out of this place and I hope it only goes up for you from here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To my favorite quad (Djamila, Fope, Angel, Care), I will you all an RA that you all become best friends with in college. You guys are genuinely some of the funniest and energetic people ever when IMSA isn\u2019t dragging you down, so I hope you guys can carry that into college. I had so much fun at Prom and whenever I\u2019m camping out in D wing, you are all such wonderful people and I wish you nothing but success and happiness. &lt;33<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Ketzaly Nunez Luna, I will you a steak torta to make up for all of yours that I\u2019ve eaten. I\u2019m going to miss you so much and I STG we shall meet again in California. Make sure you say hi to my tia and make sure you eat an acai bowl and poke bowl for me. You\u2019ve always been there for me with food, clothes, Roblox, a ride, a hangout, etc. You mean so much to me and I hope I can find underclassmen I love as much as you so that they can talk about me in the same regard, and mean it. I can\u2019t wait to see you again. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"Amber Hwang\"><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Amber Hwang<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Kaylee Hwang, I will you the greenest oat milk ceremonial matcha latte, not too bitter or sweet, whichever smiski you want next, VIP enha tickets, and the perfect weather and best food in New York.

I will miss you so much!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Manu Mamillapalli, I will you a stress free life. From being the most amazing LEAD facilitator to just talking randomly in the halls, you helped make my sophomore year better. Miss you already!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Gabi, I will you extra ICA merch! Even though I have only known you for less than a year, I can see that you are such a hard worker, and you led ICA through the school year. I will miss you next year, but I hope you have fun in college!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Yoona, I will you more Will. I loved doing ktrad and Night Market with you.

I will miss you so much next year and just remember you won\u2019t find a roommate as amazing as me! Good luck with your endeavors in college and I know you will do amazing things.

Expect lots of visits from me and Shatakshi next year. I can\u2019t wait to see what you accomplish in college as a CS major (and at UIUC). You are so hard working and so smart and someone I look up to. Thank you for always motivating me and pushing me to be my best!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Shatakshi, I will you the best of luck in finding your dream guy in college and tons of visits from me at Northwestern. I wish we got closer earlier but it was so much fun getting to know you now. I can\u2019t wait to see you at Northwestern and the amazing future you have ahead of you. I will miss our late night conversations and the amazing advice you give. I also will you amazing nails for the rest of your life!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To my C-Wing seniors (Aahana D, Aarushi D, Caitlyn N, Fiyin, Grania, Kavya, Vedanti, Vibhasri), I will you guys the best years in college and a super clean sink.

I remember seeing you for the first time all decked up and dripped out and thinking, oh, she&#8217;s a baddie, and you really are. You are one of the kindest, funniest, smartest people I have met this year. I have loved getting close to you this year from blasting every new song you discover in wing commons to yapping through all the nonsense that we experience. Thank you for being such an amazing friend, guiding me through my first year here, and for all your advice. I&#8217;m going to miss seeing you doing the rat dance at 3 AM in wing commons next year, but I wish you the best at college. I know you are going to succeed in every aspect, my baddie. Don&#8217;t give up, you&#8217;re going to get that fourth ear piercing and your belly button piercing, DW!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Kavya Uppal, I will you a Senior Assassin victory and a pair of slides. I find it hilarious when I see you walking around in your socks and flip flops for the grind. Even with Senior Assassin, you are one of the most locked in people I know. I always see you braving the insufferably hot study room in the middle of the night grinding away with an alani in hand. I&#8217;m going to miss hearing your crazy stories and diabolical schemes while you simultaneously crash out about CompuSci. You are incredibly sweet, funny, and hardworking, and I know you are destined to achieve great things in your life so I wish you all the luck for college. I can&#8217;t wait to hear about all the shenanigans you pull. Thank you for making me laugh and always being there for me, I really will miss you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Riya Gumidyala, I will you endless Baja Blasts and a refund for the Riya personal fund.

I know it sounds basic, but I truly feel sorry that you have to leave 1501 and go to some boring college dorm. You truly have been one of my favorite seniors this year whether it be late nights in the hall commons or trying to make some sense of Kaluza\u2019s Spanish in class. You are so unbelievably funny, please don&#8217;t die (or become boring IG). Have the best time living it up in college! Espero que lo pases bien!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Yicole Ng, I will you a life without any more notes, documents, or ungodly amounts of organization. You truly put your all into everything I have seen you do this year, and seeing your effort and determination never failed to amaze me. To be honest, it was your story about being rejected from Soph@Large that inspired me to go for Treasurer after my initial flop going for Soph@Large and I am forever grateful for that. Thank you for being the best secretary I could ever ask for, and I am excited to see all of the great things you will do in college and beyond, and I am sure those achievements will be just as great as the effort you put into everything. Have the best time in college, queen, and take a break!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To EmmaLi Isham, I will you rest. Seeing you work CONSTANTLY from the start of senior year up until the last month at the same pace entirely regardless of what was thrown your way was honestly one of the most impressive things I have ever seen. You are so incredibly locked in and on both IYNA and StudCo you have been the best role model. Being your Vice President has truly been an honor and I just hope that I am able to fill your shoes. I am so excited to see everything you continue to do in the future and I am sure that whatever it is it will be amazing because I have seen the effort that you put into even the smallest things. Please take a break before going off to college. Live it up in Iowa, Madame President! (P.S I\u2019m excited to see what you put in that box!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Yoona Kim, I will you a locked in time in college. You have been a great addition to our BC III table and the endless jokes and NEVER locking in has been one of the most fun filled parts of my year. You are so funny and I wish you to continue being as iconic as you are right now in college. Have the best time!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"Brahmani Sanakkayala\"><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Brahmani Sanakkayala<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Shruthi, I will you the most successful business by the time you\u2019re 26 to take your sister and do everything you\u2019ve had in mind, and always tell me about it! You are the most determined, hardworking, and driven person I know, and truly, whatever you set your mind to, you can achieve it. Seriously Shruthi, I\u2019m gonna miss you so so so so so much! You\u2019re truly the best doubles partner I\u2019ve ever had, and WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO PLAY BADMINTON WITH NEXT YEAR?! I love you so much (please visit and call me), and I\u2019m gonna miss all our games we spent laughing, dancing to Hindi songs, and crashing out over \u201cnon-Amelia\u201d. Hehehehh byeyeye bbg, best of luck at Kelley. You\u2019re gonna do great things. &lt;3<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Brian Leong, I will you better interviewer skills and lots of food. When I first met you, I was TRAUMATIZED and crying (because you suck as an interviewer), so I hope you don\u2019t scare away members of your future club ;). Anyways, you\u2019re one of the most nonchalant people I have ever met, and I\u2019m so glad to have worked with you on Hadron. But your Senioritis did kill the club SMH. I wish you the best at college, and I think you should definitely come back next year to check in on Hadron\u2019s progress (even though you don\u2019t want to SMH).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Maya Kannan, I will you all the heels in the world (so you can finally match with me) and many many many late-night FaceTimes with me. Maya, you are the most charismatic, smiley, and extroverted person I know with literally the sweetest heart. I love fan-girling over Ed-Shreeyan with you and I\u2019m gonna miss you so much!

Being in 1505 at the beginning of school, I immediately noticed you because you were a black man and a student leader on campus. Ibrahim, you are one of the most genuine and kind people I&#8217;ve met on campus. You are a big role model for me, and I am proud of your future (even though you didn&#8217;t get into those Ivies, LOL). Your faith in me and all the other 05 sophomores has inspired me to pursue RSL and all my other leadership positions. I hope that you take this to UIC and that you will still be the person who encourages everyone around you to succeed. I know you will do great things, and I am so thankful to call myself one of your friends. Don\u2019t ever forget where you came from, and make your presence known to people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Arjun Brahmandam, I will you to be more proud of yourself. As soon as I entered C-wing, you were always so engaging to converse with, and you always answered my stupid sophomore questions. You have been one of my role models on campus, and I always love to talk with you. You are one of the most genuine people I&#8217;ve met at IMSA, and I want you to know how great of a person you are. Don\u2019t take for granted how much you help other people, and never feel small, Arjun, even at that big school you&#8217;re going to. You are such an inspiration to those around you, and I am so proud of your accomplishments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Joseph Hernandez, I will you a vibrant college community. 05 would not be the same without your engaging spirit and love for the community. As an HCL, you have inspired me to become an RSL and become a bigger part of the IMSA community. You are so funny, and I love to be around you. I hope you bring this energy to your college. Keep showing out for the community and being an asset to everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Asad Sheikh and Saad Sheikh, I will you guys to stop messing around. You guys are the only dudes keeping C-wing culture alive. I love talking to you guys, even if all we do is goof around. You guys are genuinely so smart and are always looking out for the sophomores of 05. I wish both of you to continue your nurturing spirit throughout college. And keep making jokes (especially you Saad, you are really funny).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Kale Suarez, I will you to succeed. Kale, you were one of the first people I met not from my hall, and I&#8217;ve got to say that you are such a great person. You are that person who is always looking out for the sophomores, and you always have something interesting to talk about. Our short conversations in Lexington or 03 are always really nice. Even when you are visibly stressed out in the 03 hall commons, when you see me walking by, you always say hi to me. Your soul is so genuine, and Stanford is insanely lucky to have someone like you to grace their campus. You are gonna do some insane things one day, and I am excited to see you prosper. Thank you so much for being you, Kale, and I wish you the very best.

I wish we could have gotten to known each other more and have more feasts. To Lily, I will you more amazing fits!

To Emerson, I will you the ability to skip check whenever you want. (is that a thing in college?) You were always upbeat and happy, no matter the situation. To Alyssa, I will you Legoshi.

I swear you were born to run (and born to fly TBH), so please never stop chasing what lights you up!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I don\u2019t see you super often, but every time I do, you radiate this calm, cool, fun energy that just makes me feel so warm inside. I know you\u2019re going to crush it in college and I hope you never give up on running because the world is your course and ur only picking up momentum (hard read NGL)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stayyy fast and keep flying. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Lily \u2728, I will you a future full of standing ovations, Vogue- worthy outfits (or ZARA LOL), effortless A\u2019s, and grand pianos in every room.

Having you in Patho was SO FUN especially when we tuned out Walker and watched Deen and Lucas do nothing . I\u2019m going to miss your energy a lot and I know UIUC is about to get hit with a full roundoff-back-tuck of greatness (was this bad too?) because you\u2019re going to absolutely kill it.

Also huge shoutout to ur dad Kishor my goat fr and if it wasn\u2019t for him putting IMSA in my radar, I think I would still be at Macomb. Tell him thank you for me again and again and again. ANYWAYS, you are going to do amazing things and your dedication is unmatched and i\u2019ll be cheering you on from wherever I am. Never forget your roots and never stop being that funny shy guy \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"Deen Kareem\"><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Deen Kareem<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Shrishant, I will you a Magnificent, first-class Magic carpet ride that will whisk you away on a Marvelous adventure.

I don&#8217;t know how but it seems you missed your flight to New York, but I&#8217;m glad the emergency room was there to save you. I think they gave you a little too much medical treatment, though. Chachi would not approve of this dosage. Please also do zhikr and pray for forgiveness. Astaghfirullah.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Saad, I will you more Prime, chicken patties, and food. What a wudu warrior you were. None of your UIC DM\u2019s are going to help you make friends so please be normal and look less stupid. Also please find something better to do with your life than send me voice messages and AFK Roblox. You have so much lacking potential that there are better things for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To the twins, I will you a new Deen squad. Please keep sending Biryani from Chachi (but no mirchi and also send dehi).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To the quad, I will you the ability to not be afraid of showers, deodorant and everything else that makes you clean.

Strength is impressive, but having a good physique is still important. I remember my first time seeing you load up 225 on the bench during sophomore year and thinking \u201cthere&#8217;s no way this kid is serious.\u201d I\u2019m so glad I came up to you after seeing you play around with my PR like it was nothing. Turns out, you were a pretty cool fellow. It\u2019s ridiculous how crazy smart and stupid you are at the same time. Though I didn\u2019t witness it, what possibly could have made you think it was a great idea to get pepper sprayed in the face? Hey! It could help you gain immunity for later. Still, I cannot thank you enough for the memories of lifting weights, wrestling, and super Smash Bros I have had with you over the last couple of years. Stay cool and put on some weight!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Jayram Palladamai, I will you a 5 on AP CSP. Seeing your progress in OOP this year was very inspirational for me. I still cannot believe that you were able to make this huge leap from CompuSci and Theory of Analysis. I remember seeing you sophomore year and thinking, \u201cDang this guy is taking CS way too seriously\u201d when seeing you take off your cap. Just kidding, man! But seriously, take it easy and get more sleep. The CS grind is real, but make sure to spend quality time outdoors as well. Over the years your Insta brain-rot has spewed over to my feed as well. :(<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Hunter Matthews, I will you a 225 bench press. You\u2019re like the inverse of Will, so it kind of makes sense that you guys are roommates. As much as I admire your physique, the bench is still sad, lowkey. I\u2019m so glad that you joined Lions this year. It was a lot of fun goofing off with you guys. The robotics stuff that I see you building is always pretty impressive, and you strike me as one who would build a Wolowitz arm. Oh BTW, if I\u2019m ever in Champaign, I\u2019ll stop to say hi to Audrey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To the Science Bowl seniors (Shrikar, Dylan, Ian), I will you guys a National Science Bowl Regional Champion Banner. Thank you guys for all of the hard work and guidance you have given to the underclassmen. We will not let you guys down and win regionals next year! Thank you Dylan for bringing order to the meetings (and getting Karthik off his phone).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Will Cahill and Sebastian Mark, I will you guys a good 4 years of being roommates. You guys were the only good surprise of B Wing, truly setting a *good* example for the underclassmen. Will, thank you for the Portillos. And Sebastion, I still owe you for all of the Vita Coco that Jacob and I stole from you guys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Chess and E seniors (Jean Muyang, Zhuoer Cai, Sadkrith Malladi, Will Cahill), I will you guys to continue playing 3-way bughouse in college. Are we inventors or what? Lowkey 3-way bughouse is my favorite variant. Whoever had Will on their team was sure to win. I&#8217;m so glad we decided to meet every day in A150 to play chess while listening to Trallilero Tralala.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Andrew Katson, I will you an \u201cA\u201d in Abstract Algebra\u2026 just kidding! Dude, that class was something. Thank you for helping me realize that I wasn\u2019t the only one that was lost in class. Those 14\/20s on the homework really did something psychologically. Also, leaving class everyday like my brain cells is diabolical. Hey, at least you still got 0.8% higher than me. I\u2019m glad that we were able to hang out more this year. Those Access walks for the cut had some insane discussions. I know you\u2019re going to look insane this summer, but keep on lifting the light weights!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To the Tennis Team seniors (Aneesh, Chad, Arnav, Prabhav, Laksh), I will you guys a kiss from Jimbo. Man, what a legend! It was so much fun playing with you guys over the last two years and thank you guys for making the bus rides fun. Although D4 tennis doesn\u2019t exist, I wish you guys would continue to get out on the courts and play for fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Zed, I will you to continue doing Lion Dance in college. It\u2019s been so fun working with you both inside and outside of the sweaty Lions costumes. The Lions dance was epic this year, but you have to come back like Jerrick and see the crazy stuff that I am already cooking up!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Michael Meng, I will you a fully functional grading script. Working with you for JHMC this year has been such a blast! I still couldn\u2019t believe that you weren\u2019t inducted into MAO until this year.Thank you for clutching so hard with fixing the grading script a day before the contest. Truly an impressive feat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Brian Leong, I will you a thorough shower. I understand it is difficult to make time between the Super Smash Bros sessions and the lock-ins for Biochem, but you can do it! It\u2019s truly crazy how fast time flies, I still remember going on my first ever shopping trip with you at the Fox Valley Mall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"Dweny Geeth\"><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Dweny Geeth<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To the 01 A wing seniors, thank you for creating such a welcoming and supportive environment.

Making new friends and meeting new people is going to be very weird, but I am willing you a smooth, peaceful journey. As for currently, thank you for being my friend. I can\u2019t believe we\u2019ve grown so close over just a year \u2013 it feels like I\u2019ve known you for much longer. I really love all of our late nights of you sitting on our dorm floor and just talking and I will definitely miss your wonderful sense of humor. You\u2019re an honorary quad member and we\u2019re going to miss you so much!! However, I know you\u2019re going to be moving on to bigger and better things and I can\u2019t wait to see all that you do. Thanks for attempting to help me through BC1, I know I\u2019m basically impossible to teach (you did pretty well even though you were insistent about being \u201cunhelpful\u201d). I hope that next year you\u2019re able to decorate a cute, comfy dorm, have a nice roommate, and I wish you all the best in your classes (you physics nerd).
