To Freddy Igbinosa, I will you the name chocolate bc ur so sweet all the girls love taking bites out of you. Just make sure you don’t get a roster at UIC. In all seriousness, you’re one of the sweetest dudes i know. Sometimes you be acting like a booger tho. Don’t be doing allat. <\/p>\n

To Dhivija Challa, I will you cookies and cream. You know why… It may not be ur favorite flavor now but you’re gonna grow to love it. Well you already do love it, ur just in denial.

To Manu Gadhiraju, I will you a box of peanuts. You gotta keep your cognition up so you can become a neurosurgeon bro. I believe you. Having you in my math class these past three semesters has been beautiful. Just make sure you lock in from now on, you can’t have random

\nAashritha Kukunooru<\/b><\/p>\n

To Dhivija Challa, I will you a bean bag chair and unlimited podi annam. From badminton to realizing we have so many mutuals, I’ve loved every moment we’ve spent together. I’m also lowkey surprised we haven’t met before IMSA. Thank you for being the big sis I never had and making my junior year the best it could be. I’m gonna miss our 11 pm crashouts over random movies (and your roti blanket) so much. I hope you have an amazing time at Purdue!! (P.S. You better come back for Diwali or I’m hunting you down)<\/p>\n

To Sammie Kapoor, I will you a million stuffed ducks to cuddle with and gloves for when we play Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza. I loved getting to know you this year, and I love how we can talk about literally anything. You are one of the sweetest, most caring people I’ve ever met! Thank you so much for being there for me all those times!! (P.S. I still can’t get over the fact that you met Salman Khan)<\/p>\n

To Vishnu Vijay, I will you a Cricut machine to print out all your future merch designs. I have genuinely never met such a talented person in my life. You are an amazing artist, dancer, stand-up comedian, choreographer, teacher, and student (YOU’RE GOING TO AN IVY). From the moment I had you as my Medical Math event-leader, I knew you were going to go to great places and do great things in life. (P.S. I still don’t get why you hate A.R. Rahman he’s literally the goat)<\/p>\n

To Avi Samy, I will you slide covers and masks for your future anatomy labs. I’m so glad you were in my anatomy class this year. I loved having you as a lab partner. I just know you’re gonna become an amazing doctor one day and I wish you the best of luck in college!<\/p>\n

\nAditi Goyal<\/b><\/p>\n

To Tanvi Boddupalli, I will you a better sense of humor. You\u2019re one of the most unique individuals I know, but you never fail to make me laugh. Thank you for never making me feel embarrassed, as I know you\u2019ll always outweird me. I\u2019m so insanely grateful to be your little sib. You made my welcome week so memorable, and helped convince me I made the right decision to come to IMSA. You\u2019ve been there for me my entire IMSA career, and I can\u2019t express how grateful I am for that. You are one of my absolute favorite people, and I can\u2019t believe we got lucky enough to get paired as siblings. Whether it\u2019s accidentally matching, having the same weird sense of humor, or twinning with our opinions, you\u2019re the older sister I never had. I don\u2019t know how I would\u2019ve made it this far at IMSA without you. Thank you for all of the college and personal advice, for the food, and for always being such a good friend to me. I\u2019m so glad we\u2019ve gotten so close this year, and I\u2019m glad I can go to you for absolutely anything. Thank you for including me in all of your SSS activities (Chicago, prom, debriefs at AC pit tables, and everything else), you guys are the reason I\u2019ve had so much fun and been less stressed this semester. I know I keep saying this, but now there\u2019s zero days until you leave me behind. I will miss you so insanely much, and I don\u2019t know if I can survive without talking to you everyday. I can\u2019t imagine not having you singing in my ear or spraying me with water, or having to watch you start dancing in the middle of the hallways. Thank you for being someone I can always look up to, and I hope that you find your own Tanvi in college. <\/p>\n

To Anusha Saraf, I will you an even more aesthetic Insta feed and more Korean corn dogs after graduation. I hope your digital photography skills come in clutch and help you get the best photos ever for your Insta. Thank you for always giving me food and clothes, and for all of the advice. Thank you for putting me on delicious frozen food and for directing Tanvi\u2019s promposal. Spending that MHD with you was one of the best days of my IMSA career, and you truly made it so much better. I love when we both decide to do no work in BC after getting ditched by our whole table. You always inspire me to try (and give up) to wear cuter outfits to school, and I hope you find people that are just as stylish as you in New York. <\/p>\n

To Ritika Rudrapati, I will you the ability to stop blinking in photos and a jacket you actually wear. Your inability to take a good set of photos with your eyes open never fails to make me laugh. I hope you\u2019ll finally make an Insta post once you stop blinking. Thank you for all of your support with choreoing during Diwali, you\u2019ve been a huge help and saved me from so much stress. And thank you for always helping me before a math test, I don\u2019t think my grade would survive without you. Thanks for always chudding out with us in hall commons, you\u2019re so fun to talk to. I hope you lock in and realize Illinois is cold, and that you either actually wear a jacket in college, or that you get better at thugging out the cold!<\/p>\n

To Sai Ganbote, I will you a guy that won\u2019t also want your roommate. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever laughed more than the events leading up to prom. I hope you know that even though I always clown you, I look up to you so much, and you impress me all the time. Thank you for giving me pizza and for including me, even when we weren\u2019t as close as we are now. Spending time at the tables with you guys is one of the best things I could\u2019ve done, as you guys made my junior year better in so many ways. Thank you for always listening to me crash out, and for always giving me advice on either math or just life. You always make me laugh, especially when you do the walk of shame to get Doordash. I\u2019m glad you finally committed to a school, and I hope you have the best time of your life there. <\/p>\n

To Kennedy Su, I will you infinite matcha and free brunch. While you\u2019re one of the most performative people I know, thanks for always being real with me. Our debriefs in Orgo and BC were so fun, and I love how we always got zero work done. I\u2019m glad we extended our debriefs to brunch with Sharon, those were some of the most insane lore drops ever. Even if we\u2019ve all been too busy to run brunch lately, I hope we can even when you\u2019re both off at college, especially since the lore will be even better then. And when we weren\u2019t gossiping at brunch, we were even more unlocked while cramming for BC and Orgo (playing Smash instead of studying). Even though I always lost, I\u2019m glad I got a little better. I hope you find people that are just as performative as you after graduation!<\/p>\n

To Aqeel Bajowala, I will you more stuffed animals and friends to make your Tiktoks with. Thank you for giving me the stuffed animal (even if Kennedy lost it), it was fun while it lasted and hopefully I can find it again. And for forcing me to make the TikTok with you, I promise I\u2019ll hate on them less now. Thanks for helping me in math in BC1, I\u2019m glad that struggling over MVT and optimization made us become friends. While I can\u2019t say the same for this semester (playing Mario Kart and Smash instead of studying), given how unlocked we were, bonding over \u201cmath\u201d was worth it. I\u2019m glad we got to be in the same math class this semester (even if you got banished to a table away from everyone for a bit). Hanging out with you always makes me giggle. Have fun at NYU (please don\u2019t hazed) and I look forward to seeing you make your TikToks with new victims. <\/p>\n

To Neil Sitapara, I will you less clips of you that get stickered. But I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s possible, because you’re one of the most chalant people I know, and unfortunately that results in you getting clipped. Even if you\u2019re a little out of pocket, thanks for making me laugh when I\u2019m having an off day. Our \u201cstudy\u201d sessions are sooo helpful, but I\u2019m grateful for the fun memories we got from them. And even if you stole my promposal, it was fun to plan with you, and I\u2019m glad you locked in and pulled it off well. I hope you get a better fashion sense in college (but anything\u2019s better than a bright red hoodie and shorts)!<\/p>\n

To the seniors on the soccer team (Kelsie, Charlotte, Abbi, Muskaan, Amada, Kate, Olivia, Eleanor), I will you guys more wins in life than we got on the field. Even if we had a rough record, you guys made every game fun. I always looked forward to playing with you guys. You guys always knew how to make even the most boring drills fun. Thank you for always being welcoming and for lifting me up even when I got slimed. And a special thank you to Kelsie and Abbi for always taking my goal kicks. <\/p>\n

To Aimanohi Imoukhuede and Ria Bakshi, I will you living near upperclassmen like yourselves. You guys have made A wing a much better place. I love seeing and talking to you both at 10 Check. Thank you both for listening to me rant, and for your advice. Aimanohi, I\u2019ll never forget the time you helped me with housekeeping, and we spent a whole hour washing rags and lore dropping. While the housekeeping itself was horrible, your company made it so much better. Ria, track was so much fun with you sophomore year (and thanks for teaching me how to squat). You guys are the best wingmates I could ask for, and I hope you guys have great neighbors in college as well. <\/p>\n

To Vishnu Vijay, I will you better social skills so you don\u2019t get sent to a summer program. Just kidding! While you are a little weird at times, I\u2019m glad your social skills helped us become friends. Doing combined with you was so fun, you\u2019re one of the most whimsical people I know. Texting you is so insanely funny, you have the most advanced word choice ever and I always get baffled by your creative insults. Thank you for all of the college and school advice, for letting me copy your biophys cheatsheets, and for all of the math help. You\u2019re genuinely one of the most intelligent people I know, and I admire your passion for learning so much. I hope your passions carry you far at Yale. <\/p>\n

To Dhivija Challa, I will you better photography skills. I\u2019m glad we\u2019ve finally had a class together this semester (even if we almost never go), and I\u2019m grateful it\u2019s made us closer. Thank you for always telling me what the assignments are, and for debriefing with me in class instead of actually doing our photography work. I\u2019m so grateful you were in Combined and Girls with me, you made it 10x more fun. Thanks for being our honorary Psych board member, you made the meetings more interesting. I love your sense of humor, and I also admire how locked in you are. Being friends with you motivates me to lock in more, and I\u2019m so proud of you for all of your accomplishments (including passing photography lol). <\/p>\n

To my family (Ritika, Anusha, and Julia), I will you guys so many more Pop Up bagels. Thank you guys for putting me on the bagels, they changed my life. The whole day was so fun, even if we were freezing. Thanks for getting us cute pictures and helping me decide which clothes to buy. Thanks for making us feel welcome in not just the trip, but all of the pre prom and prom activities! I hope you guys find family almost as good as ours in college.<\/p>\n

\nAdvaith Ballem<\/b><\/p>\n

To Noah Kim, I will you the phrase “Ich bin ein”, and also a melted chicken biriyani scented candle:). These have allowed us to achieve magnificent synergy, and just know I put you on your energy drink grind. I wish you luck and a lot of procrastination in Northwestern, and have fun in college, johnule.(dont die).<\/p>\n

To Evan Lee, I will you the ability to call a see saw a teeter tot, 10000 bottles of red classic match, and a pc ACTUALLY made with love and care, as well as one packet. I appreciated your absolutely useless advice you would spout at 3 am that usually consisted of gibberish and mean words. Keep being a blithering buffoon, and I promise WE are going to med school together.<\/p>\n

To Kennedy Su, I will you my absolutely blessed FYP on IG reels, as well as my actual Geometry Dash skills. I also will you some dumbbells, so you can get some weight on you.

To Aqueel Bajowala, I will you a PSL 8, a really fancy hammer for your bonesmashing, and a blessing from tung tung god.

Good luck Aqueel, and I will be expecting that facetime call(ebk).<\/p>\n

To Lucas Zhang, I will you W drip and a 405 bench press. Keep hitting the gym, and dont go insane in college, just buy some rings or something idk.<\/p>\n

To Neil Sitapara, I will you some Taco Bell and a 135 bench press. You’re always just a chill guy, very nonch(short for nonchalant, just using slang) and very tuff. Have fun in college, maybe I see you soon.<\/p>\n

To Ryan Kim, I will you 3 inch height boosters, and a rare FC mobile card. You are the definition of nonch, and your so tuff. Do great things(or not) at Northwestern.<\/p>\n

\nAkhil Narayanan<\/b><\/p>\n

To Raj Patel, I will you infinite Bollywood songs and movies to enjoy while you are at UW-Madison. You’re one of my favorite people to be around and I enjoy spending time with you, whether it is seeing you during school or chilling in the dorms. You should definitely teach me how to be more locked in like you. Also, I promise to visit you one day. Trust. <\/p>\n

To Aditya Tiwari, I will you a 2 star Mega Lopunny, which I know for sure is your favorite card. Having you in my wing was such a great experience, from sliming out my door with an orange (literally) to running Skyblock together. I admire your confidence, and hope one day I can have your insane luck on TCG Pocket. <\/p>\n

To Nathan Handjojo, I will you a bridge board. I first got to know you playing bridge during Fogel’s Intersession, and playing bridge with you has always been peak. You’re one of the most auraful and wise people on campus (just like Gandalf fr), and I think you’ve definitely earned your ‘unc’ title. I’ll make sure to find you at UIUC, where we can play bridge once again.<\/p>\n

\nAmit Prakash<\/b><\/p>\n

To Raj Patel,
\nI will you a long life free of Taco Bell (or any restaurant for that matter) messing up your order. You’ve always been my favorite Patel at IMSA, and I’m not sure who could replace that role. I still remember when we met up in the trenches of the 10 minute AP Psych break. I can tell you are a very motivated (and slightly distracted) person. I will miss our 7th MODs that during which we pretend to lock in. Thanks for always printing stuff for me. Thanks for making me sick of the low-cortisol version of Titanium with how much you play it. I know IMSA (and UIC) hasn’t always been fair in many ways to you, but you don’t let that affect you, and that is very admirable. Because of this, I am confident that you will be successful no matter what you do or where you go. You are the best adopted big sib I could’ve asked for. Wisconsin is very lucky to have someone as “auraful” as you! As always, feel free to reach out whenever possible. I will try my best to visit you (and Kathan ). BYE RAJ!<\/p>\n

To Riyan Jain, a will you a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 Max chip, 18-core CPU, 40-core GPU, 128GB of memory, 8TB of storage, and a Liquid Retina XDR display with Thunderbolt 5 and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. You’re gonna need it wherever you go. Thanks for helping me get more sleep from your neural comp presentations. That was sarcasm. I enjoyed your neural comp presentations. Keep doing what you’re doing. Remember me when you land that YC startup (or better yet, just give me an internship).<\/p>\n

To Rusha Parikh,
\nI will you a magic wand that can get you out of any class in college. Except it only works 50% of the time and has a three hour cooldown, because I’m feeling petty today. Reminder that you still owe me. You will do great in Massachusetts. <\/p>\n

To Arya Biss,
\nI will you a 1:60 replica of the layout of D-Wing, so you can always feel that you’re above us. In addition, I will you infinite Courageous Conversations. Finally, I will you a personal Federal FOIA officer that can get you whatever information you want. Thanks for helping me “patch” things up with Mary (see what I did there?). You’ve always had an ekphrastic view on life, and I still can’t tell whether or not you’re joking most of the time. IMSA will never have another Arya Biss (both figuratively and statistically), but rest assured we will try to live up to the name.<\/p>\n

To Mara Anderson,
\nI will you a wonderful time at Oregon State! Thanks being a great co-facilitator.<\/p>\n

To Locklin Bell,
\nI will you the ability to magically construct a wheelchair ramp on whatever middle-of-nowhere hiking trail you so happen to be on. I believe this will be the solution to our debate on the ADA. I know you will be great wherever the Owasippe Scouting Reservation takes you.<\/p>\n

To Rylan Astroday, I will you an endless French dictionary. I wouldn’t have passed French III without your constant Google Translating whenever I didn’t understand. Your genuine excitement for learning is impossible to miss, and I don’t know what we’ll do with an empty seat at our table. You’re the best Frenchie I know, and UIC + Loyola will be so lucky to have you.<\/p>\n

\nTo Nathan Handjojo, I will you the bungee and my calculator\u2019s batteries. Never make me drop this ever again (unless its at state).
\nTo Karthik Prasad, I will you many more well managed clubs at Stanford. I am very excited to see you sell your soul to quant and give up on academia entirely. It\u2019s only a matter of time!!
\nTo Manu Gadhiraju, I will you many of those chairs with those holes in the back. You should know what to do with them. Your expert spanish skills will definitely be useful.
\nTo Shiv Rai, I will you one Cluely internship. Please dedicate everything you have into it. Don\u2019t forget to attend your standups!<\/p>\n

To Neil Sitapara, I will you visible abdominal muscles. After all, you say lean is law so you gotta act on it! And then you’re gonna absolutely blow the uiuc comp out of the water. Nah but seriously you gave me sm advice and I made you deal with the unnecessary, massive burden that are my problems, and I’ll miss you so much doppelganger. Btw you’re booty at bowling, idiot.<\/p>\n

To Matthew Nowak, I will you a cha. I always took yours, and you know what I always took your room! But thanks for always charging my phone, and more importantly thank you for giving me a space where I don’t feel lonely and have people like you that don’t care how I feel or what I do. Thanks for letting me sleep on your bed without any sheets or blankets on it btw way.<\/p>\n

To Akshat Chouhan, I will you an all-expenses-paid trip to Iowa. Please pull up to my house. I will show you around the big TBK Bank Sports Complex just like you showed me the hammock when I slept in it for the first time after Legends of Asia. But seriously, thank you for being my RSL, and more importantly thank you for letting me hangout in your room when all I was to you was a random sophomore. I wouldn’t have the friends I have now at IMSA without you. Also thank you for letting me sleep on ur bed even though that’s something ur very possessive about.<\/p>\n

To Ethan Hunt, I will you some shrimp Alfredo. Thanks for hearing me endlessly yap and also stepping in to be my joint dad with Neil!!!! I for real admire how much you don’t care and how flippin mature you are, and I hope I’ll see you at uiuc over the summer (fingers crossed)<\/p>\n

To Aqeel Bajowala, I will you a better running action. I’m sorry, but the way you run actually fries me and you need to do better. But you also mog and you’re everyone’s favorite cheek biter!!!!!

To Paul Watson, I will you eternal immaturity. I want to greet you like an orangutan even when we’re grown adults (if we see each other), and I also need you to come to my house. I’ll drop the addy. And also thank you so much for hearing me yap and not caring at all<\/p>\n

To Freddy Igbinosa, I will you a higher dimorphism. You’re the youngest-looking 6’7″ person i’ve ever seen, and I need you to get rid of your baby face like ur lil brother. But also it’s really admirable that you don’t care despite how much ppl make fun of u or say stuff about you, and thanks for making up ‘Tiksh’ because it stuck with everyone. also you scared me a lot at the start of the year<\/p>\n

To Oumarou Junior Njikam, I will you better hair. Your hair is WAY too sorry to be called freeforms. You can say give it all the time all you want, but nothing’s happening. Also thanks for being my prom date but you scared me a lot at the start of the year. AHM SAYIN thanks for giving me the ratio<\/p>\n

To Darren Nathan Benicet Konan III, I will you a more productive lifestyle. But I know you’re knowingly going to live that same ‘eat-sleep-watch anime-doomscroll’ life even when ur going to such a good college. Also I’m still mad at u for not sitting w me in bc1, and you really need to get more photogenic. Also I really like ur hair it’s super spongy when it’s not twisted and looks like gummy worms when it is twisted. But dead*** thanks for letting me sit at ur desk even though u were in the room<\/p>\n

To Ari Bajaj, I will you some uncuffed sweatpants. Bro i’m sorry but ur fits look like the same clothes u bought in 7th grade. But actually thank u for giving me advice and putting up with me even though I know for a fact you can barely keep it together because i’m so immature. and also you scared me<\/p>\n

To Thabo Manzanga, I will you your hair back. WHY DID YOU CUT IT?????? Also you should have been my lead facilitator, bc i would have made it more enjoyable. And also thank you for advocating for me and giving me the ratio – i’ll become everyone’s fav micro influencer jus u wait. you also scared me a lot at the start of the year<\/p>\n

To Jaiden Lawal, I will you some unseriousness. You know you terrified me for a really long time? But frl thanks for being willing to get to know me and be my friend, and thanks for helping me with math you’re realy good at it.<\/p>\n

To Darrell Mcgee, I will you some satin pajamas. ‘My boy went silk set thank you thank you thank you incident of 2026’ Is that vid of us doing that lil dance still in ur tiktok drafts? also you REALLY REALLY scared me (i thought u were a staff member), but i really like that you’re a goof<\/p>\n

To Axel Aguilar, I will you a super big rocket because you told me a lot about aero and i’m really grateful for u and i’m really glad i’m ur fav soph. And then we can fly in that rocket and fly into the sun.<\/p>\n

To Inioluwa Ajiboye, I will you a larger social battery. I was friends w literally EVERYONE else but it took a really long time for us to actually start talking, but i’m glad we did. you go off and do great things.<\/p>\n

To Aadi Mehta, I will you better luck on applications. But for real thank you so much for giving me cfd advice and telling me how to get started – i’m still trying my darndest, but i’m glad ur my grandfather and i’ll try to make sure aero isn’t chopped next year (YOU KNOW I GOT AN EMAIL LIKE AN HR AGO THAT SAYS WE GOT CHARTERED WOOOO)<\/p>\n

To Angel Castillo, I will you a deadlift platform you can just slam that weight on. Then you can become REALLY strong and then become cracked at volleyball. And thank you so much for being nice to me and making imsa feel like such a welcoming place<\/p>\n

To Victor Fernandes, I will you some more Patel bros roti with cheese in it. I WANNA TRY ONE IT’S SO GOOD!!! and you are so nice and i’m glad that i’m your friend<\/p>\n

To Aarav Lala, I will you happiness. I want you to be happy again like you are in your LinkedIn profile. You were not happy though because you worked very hard with mithil. I feel so maternal when I see your cute little smile every time I open LinkedIn.<\/p>\n

To Roy Wang, I will you success in your bright future as a professional GamePigeon Knockout player. It’s been great complaining about the tempo in Wind Ensemble. Keep pingponging in uni <\/p>\n

To Nathan Handjojo, I will you 20 Polulus for scioly build events and the far-future return of Fermi Questions. Don’t worry about the team unc, and leave it in the hands of co27 and co28, and thanks for dealing with Build events all these years. <\/p>\n

To Andrew Zhu, I will you freedom from Scioly chemistry events and 20 gazillion tacos from that taco truck during that early-year captains meeting. Thanks for making us all sit in Lexington for the group photo. \/j<\/p>\n

To Vivienne Uenuma, I also will you 20 gazillion tacos from the same taco truck. May all of your future supervillain plans come to fruition.
\nTo the senior Scioly captains in general, thanks for being great leaders and peers. It’s been a great season and I wish you all success. <\/p>\n

To all of the FRC seniors, I will you an unlimited supply of free CNC bits (who would supply them, I have no idea). I know that your last season might not have gone how any of us hoped it would, but the 2027 board will do our utmost to bring everything we’ve learned from you guys into next season. Go team #2022! <\/p>\n

To Jade Go, I will you the world record for consecutive hours spent on linguistics Wikipedia articles and a bright career in medicine. Our table in mod 3 BC2 wouldn’t be the same without you. The multiple group chats with Hari and Vidhan serving ostensibly the same purpose will live on forever.<\/p>\n

To Ivan Xie, I will you an infinite closet of that specific light gray zip-up that you always seem to be wearing and an Olympic gold medal in deadpan sarcasm. Thanks for also being a part of the (objectively best) table in mod 3 bc2. <\/p>\n

To Eric Lee, I will you a bajillion dollars. Thanks for being a great leader on campus and a great Big Sib; I wouldn’t have been able to get involved in campus as easily or as much as I did in sophomore year without all your help. <\/p>\n

And to the class of 2026 as a whole, I will you all the best wherever you go from here. You guys have been great inspirations and sources of motivation for me to strive to do my best as a person and as a student.<\/p>\n

To Grace, Hi Grace, I know a little since my 7th grade, and I got to know you more here, really, you are nice person. You are thoughtful, care about people around you — I will you the best life. I hope that you had great experiences at IMSA and now you\u2019re passing it down to the underclassmen. I will miss you next year.<\/p>\n

To Aitran, I will a freak-pass \u2014 please use it wisely!!! Knowing you since my sophomore year during vtrad really add to my experience at IMSA. With the time we hang out playing roblox, choreoing vtrad for legends, I don\u2019t know what will I do next year. I remember you\u2019re a freak when I first met you, and now I just see it as your personality lol. I hope that you will stay strong, keep your energy, and a good mindset \u2014 again use the pass wisely. I don\u2019t know what else to say, but I will really miss you. I hope that you can come back and visit me and Hannah sometimes. Other than that, I hope you have a successful future at UIC.<\/p>\n

To Victor F, Hi goon, idk what to say for you, but I will you a new pair of headphones whenever you need. Please don\u2019t forget your headphones in the pool room again.<\/p>\n

To Neil Sitapara, I will you infinite limerences at UIUC. You have had many funny experiences in relationships and limerences that we love to fry you for, but I respect the fact that you always take things as an opportunity to learn and grow from. I also will you the courage to ask for the Coach bag back and the sense to not buy one in that situation. I will always be grateful that I became friends with you sophomore year, your little sib happened to be my roommate who fanned you out, and you ended up adopting me as your little sib. We clicked instantly, and I could tell you were a very cool and genuine person. Thanks for putting up with me and my immaturity and annoyingness. Over the course of my time at IMSA you have been someone I could consistently rely on and go to for advice. I am so very appreciate of our bond that isn\u2019t just a surface level friendship; the deep talks and conversations we have will be moments I never forget. You never fail to remind me how mature you are and always push me to be better, more mature, and wise. You also always listen to me and get advice from me too, your open mindedness and humility is another thing I really respect. Your passion and work ethic is very inspiring and I know it will take you far in life. I have always wanted a brother, and while I never had one, you took your role as \u201cBig Sib\u201d literally and showed me what it was like to have one and for that, I am forever grateful. Hanging out with you is also fun, you\u2019re always doing something stupid, instigating, throwing cereal at sophomores, or just coming into my room to doomscroll with no end. Loredropping, trolling, and frying each other have all been core IMSA memories. From the random walks we had at the very beginning of sophomore year, hangouts, unsuccessful study sessions, successful study sessions, lore drops, frying, instigating, you have made my IMSA experience much more enjoyable. I\u2019m going to be sad that next year I can\u2019t just text you and hang out in 5 minutes. Thank you so much for being a friend, a peer, a mentor, and a brother. I will miss you but we will def hang out, I wish you all the best at UIUC and your future plans.<\/p>\n

To Aqeel Bajowala, I will you flash cards to help with your memory. I pray that you get your dream vacation at Turks and Caicos and you can party there and not get tired. Actually tho, you have been a really funny and silly friend. You\u2019re mad chill and a cool person. Your ability to genuinely not care, do whatever, and live however without being scared or high inhib is inspiring. Hopefully you don\u2019t get fried in your teacher comments because of your tomfoolery in BC but I hope you know that it is 100% as funny as you think it is. Every situation I have had with you has been hilarious. You have genuinely been the embodiment of not caring and trolling and I hope you keep that energy at NYU. Your always down to hang and you have helped me have fun, be less uptight, and care less. Other than your humor, I know you also have a serious side to you. Your dances are also iconic, \u201cWe going to Waubansee\u201d and the \u201cFailing Frolic\u201d will go down in history, hopefully you have many more dances to celebrate your future success. Don\u2019t worry we will keep your stuffed chia pets safe. I hope you have even better zipper rides and experiences in amusement parks in the future. Also it would be aMaZing if you had some more courage in certain situations and I hope you stop getting played. I hope you have a fun time at NYU and good luck with your \u201cmore important stuff to deal with rn\u201d.<\/p>\n

To Ari Bajaj, I will you the strength to deal with the things that WE have to go through. Also the ability to stop getting into so many \u201caccidents\u201d, better balance, and stop getting in fried situations. I also will you some glasses so you don\u2019t have to keep taking mine and feeling yourself. Your confidence and your hand always in your hair is funny. Horseplaying and wrestling with you has been pretty fun and your banging on lex tables and spilling your cherry coke makes lex even funnier. Not gonna lie Lavads also got a lot of their mannerisms from you like, \u201cWhaaaaaaaaaaat???\u201d. You’re always frying people but you give tough love big brother vibes. We have occasionally had deep talks and they have always been interesting. You\u2019re funny and hanging out with you is fun. We should hang out n go to Taco Bell, but that might be a bad idea so instead we can go to KFC and maybe get a 6 piece or just a measly 3 piece. And then after we should also go watch Project Hail Mary. I hope you find many more friends you can be friends with for 9 months and have a good time in college. Also I\u2019m sorry to say this but you genuinely growl more than Omar. I know your desire to make your own way in life will make you successful. Have fun and good luck in college.<\/p>\n

To Lavads (Neil, Ari, Aqeel, Sean, Freddy, Omar, Akshat, Matthew, Mofe, Michael, Ini, Benicet, Jaiden, Rell, Axel, Xander), I will you many more fun lunch tables. You guys have easily been one of the biggest highlights of my sophomore and junior years. There is never a dull moment with you guys; I know when I walk into Lex and I see you guys at a table with absolutely no space to sit (that 5 more people are going to try and fit in) I will be dying of laughter in 5 minutes and Lex rotting till 30 minutes after Lex closes. Even when I feel burnt out or down, I know that when I hang out with you guys I won\u2019t be able to stay like that. There will always be some insane what ifs or hypotheticals, lore drops, debates, or just the usual frying accompanied by hysterical laughter, falling out of chairs, banging on the tables, and a drink spilling. Being able to hang out for hours at a time at Lex and getting kicked out of the IRC is just a testament to how much fun we have together. Our friend group genuinely has the most aura on campus, we definitely make our presence known, you guys are so loud. I know both Lex workers and people eating there talk about our table and some def want to join us to see what is so funny. There is not much to say other than the fact that Lavads is just peak. I am so grateful for you guys and this friend group, it has given me so many fun memories, experiences, and connections. I love all of you guys and I wish you guys all a bright future and good luck with your future endeavors.<\/p>\n

To Sean Manzanga, I will you a math table almost as good as our MI4 one. Thinking back on those days is so funny, back when WE were just little jits in MI4 and I would just always annoy you to now being friends. I always thought you were really chill and funny even from when I first met you and it holds true to this day. You are actually hilarious even in a nonchalant way, somehow still making all of us laugh, with your one liners or comebacks. You\u2019re not a chatter or a yapper, you always have substance to what you say, and when you occasionally drop advice its always golden. Your 2 phrases will always be iconic, \u201cIts okay to like girls\u201d and \u201cI hate when dudes steal free food\u201d and they are always funny when you use them. First one is so iconic it gets used as a joke, used seriously, and used to fry people to this day. I\u2019m scared of the stuff \u201cwe don\u2019t wanna know\u201d and the interesting reels you\u2019ve liked but you\u2019ve got that. Please get a better diet than the diet for \u201cathletes\u201d you have and maybe then you would have been able to outrun Rell. Go get your bag at UPenn, I know you will do well, have fun and good luck.<\/p>\n

To Omar Njikam, I will you many more handshakes. Omar, my brother from the Raq, you have always treated me with so much respect it\u2019s actually crazy. Even when I\u2019m messing around and doing something extremely stupid, you have never made me feel bad or feel like I\u2019m being annoying. I love the fact that I can make whatever joke or put on what ever accent and you will still laugh and shake my hand. You always hype me up with your \u201cOkay, Sir Benjamin Charly\u201d and you\u2019re just a very chill dude. Please go back to being Leo from Lab Rats and good luck with all your future endeavors Sir Omar Njikam. Also please stop growling at people and scaring them away. <\/p>\n

To Freddy Igbinosa, I will you some poise. Why are you always making a mess and causing a ruckus everywhere you go. Also the way you can just step through a window is just unnatural. While you’re always doing something stupid, intentionally or unintentionally, it never fails to make us laugh. You are one of the most easy going, light hearted, sweet people I know. You are kinda like a mascot, especially to FFC, the way everyone loves you. Your laughter and smile genuinely fills the room. I know you will keep that energy and not let anyone bring you down, your positivity and easy going nature is admirable. You always crack funny or stupid jokes and always want to make sure people have a fun time and check up on them when they look down. I hope your future is filled with \u201cforward \u201d, good luck!<\/p>\n

To Deen Kareem, I will you some coding abilities. I don\u2019t know what you would have done in CompuSci without AI. I remember back in sophomore year when you thought I was so annoying (and for good reason), but I\u2019m so glad we have grown since then. While we always troll each other (and I love to troll you), you also always listen when I talk and we have had many serious conversations, I really admire your ability to be respectful and talk seriously when it comes down to it. Other than when we are just messing around with each other and drawing on closets, I can really tell you are very mature and I have a lot of respect for you and your ability to not get caught up in IMSA drama and stay true to yourself. You are pretty funny and hanging out with you is always fun, even when you are making fun of us. And when you are trolling and when you\u2019re not trolling, you have always felt like a big brother to me, someone I can wrestle with, and also talk to seriously. Staying weekends or talking after check with you has been a highlight of my A wing experience. Staying up to study for BC or just recently AP stats (fried), you walking into the twins room on a Compu Sci night just for none of us to have it done and ending up just wasting time or telling us you just AI\u2019ed it, trolling in AI with Patankar have all been core memories with you and I am so glad we made them. Don\u2019t forget to mess up their order otherwise they will be MAD, I hope you get your Pitbull, beat that Donkey Kong level, get those animal style fries, and take a lot of Polaroids at graduation. I have so much respect for you, you are like a brother to me, I will really miss you when you are gone, hopefully we hang out again, and good luck with all your future endeavors.<\/p>\n

To Tanvi Boddupalli, I will you a Mandarin Tutor. I do NOT will you a spyglass because I\u2019m so freaking scared as to what you might do with it (PEEP what I did there?). Genuinely though, I am so glad I became friends with you, you are really cool and I really enjoy hanging out with you. I wish we were tighter early on in the year, but I\u2019m so glad we got closer recently. You have been a really funny friend and you have truly felt like an older sister to me. The way we vibe feels very natural and I can be however silly I want to be and you always match my energy. I appreciate how you talk to me like I\u2019m not just a kid, maturely, tell me stuff, and listen to me and ask me interesting questions. Our use of memes is funny, although sometimes you are just too chronically online and you just start stimming to some niche audio that no one else gets and you ask everyone if they know it so you don\u2019t seem crazy. Your love for drama and instigation is also really funny even if you are wrong. Also we gotta do our BLM tiktoks. Imma miss you, I hope I see you again at UIUC and see you doing great things, make sure to have that wingman routine down. Have fun in college and good luck bro.<\/p>\n

To Anusha Saraf, I will you a better TikTok fyp. Your fyp is actually so buns and also please start replying to people on tiktok you are NOT a celebrity. However, your tiktoks are pretty funny. You are pretty cool and funny and I\u2019m glad we became friends. Our jokes are funny and I\u2019m glad we agree on certain views regarding relationships (ask me in person to clarify). Making that huge poster was pretty fun and you have just been a chill friend in general. Have fun at NYU, I\u2019d be impressed if you keep that no outfit repeated streak, and make that perfectly curated IG page you are always talking about. <\/p>\n

To Atmaj Shelar, I will you the ability to not talk to Waubonsee people. We all know why you shouldn\u2019t. Other than that though, I am so so glad we ended up in the same AI class. I never expected to become good friends with you but I\u2019m very grateful for the AI class that led us to sit at the same table. Everyday, I would see you playing some niche game, sorry doing the Kaggle comp, or I would randomly sing a song and you would sing with me, explain the lyrics, or show me another song. Your love for music has actually been pretty funny to me, it\u2019s funny to think I talk about music with you when I don\u2019t really listen to that music myself (even though I\u2019m always singing in class). Don\u2019t listen to the haters like Vishnu and Deen, we harmonize very well together. I think you are very cool and I\u2019m happy every time I see you or we hang out. You have been a really cool friend and congrats on getting into Georgia Tech, you\u2019re gonna go crazy I already know. I\u2019m going to miss you but I hope we see each other again. <\/p>\n

To Abbi Kinsland, I will you the red heart emoji with more suzz at college. We have been friends for a very long time, now that I think about it. You were pretty welcoming sophomore year and you were a cool upperclassmen to talk to, and didn\u2019t just think of me as a sophomore. Your trolling is pretty stupid but I\u2019ll let it slide cause I troll you too (sorry!). I am glad we became good friends through ICA and in general. Your loredropping is always interesting, even if there is genuinely so much and you just yap for hours. Also stop preying on sophs and getting into random situations for the plot. Playing basketball and soccer with you is also fun. I\u2019m glad we became friends, trolling, hanging out, and ICA has been fun. Have fun in college and take your trolling and shenanigans over there.<\/p>\n

To Ethan Hunt, I will you more paper towels that you can put on the floor before you\u2026 Ethan you are an very well rounded person, you are very smart, passionate, committed, and jubilant. You are pretty cool and mature when it comes to down to it, but otherwise you are an animal (in a funny way). You are always just doing something stupid but its good that you are so confident in your self. You and Molly\u2019s passion for ICA is also something that inspires me and something that new board will be carrying on to next year. Thank you so much for a great 2 years in ICA I wish you the best of luck and have fun!<\/p>\n

To Molly Federici, I will you more opportunities to meet Mormons. I don\u2019t know what your obsession with them is but I won\u2019t question it. You are such a cool, outgoing, and eccentric person. You get along with people very well and are very good at speaking, its genuinely a skill that I look up to. These skills are definitely going to take you far in life, and I know that you will do lots of good things with the platform you are given. Your energy and vibes are so unique and I know you will never let go of it and become someone boring. You and Ethan have also been a really great, fun but still mature, and serious leaders for ICA. Thank you so much for a great 2 years in ICA and I hope you have a great time in college and do great things!<\/p>\n

To Kennedy Su, I will you a peaceful life. It seems like everyday you have a new crazy thing that has happened. But I\u2019m still glad you tell us, you have been a pretty chill upperclassmen and I\u2019m glad I had classes with you. BC 2 and 3 has been fun with you even though it was lowkey a fried experience. I also will you some better attendance, you genuinely were NEVER in class first semester and just skipped second semester. But regardless, I know you are going to have a fun time in college being performative and pulling the ABGs. Have fun and good luck!<\/p>\n

To Vishnu Vijay and Harish Chandar, I will you another Tamil boy in college to annoy you guys. You guys have been a great presence around campus, people I could talk to in Tamil (I swear its not as bad as you guys think it is). Thank you for letting me hang out in your guys room and just relax or helping me with Compu Sci. Vishnu, having AI with you has been fun, thanks for putting up with me and my trolling. You are also mad artistic and what you do is cool. Also thanks for putting me on with stuff, you have been pretty helpful and I appreciate you. You are a very unique person, don\u2019t lose your spark. Harish, you are a very chill and genuine person, thanks for the CompuSci help, and also when you do say something its always funny. Have fun and good luck in college!<\/p>\n

To Aadi Mehta, I will you less paranoia. Sorry for coming into your room just to deceive you lmao, but you are locked for senior assassin, hope you win. You\u2019re very chill and always been cool w me and down to do wtv. Remember to always get ice cream for yourself when your girl wants some. Have fun in college and good luck!<\/p>\n

\nCassandra Marvitz<\/b><\/p>\n

To Blake, I will you the doubly charged Higgs boson. I had to concentrate on this one because it was between choosing the Higgs boson, a sign that says \u201cTalk to me about clubs!\u201d, unlimited sushi by the pound, a Troye Sivan costume, rogaine (I\u2019m sorry for this one in advance), and finally, a well-needed break. I\u2019ve depended on you so much for Student Council this year that I actually don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen when you\u2019re at Harvard and not here to give advice\u2026but I guess I\u2019ll just read that book you\u2019re always talking about :) Speaking of advice, best believe we will be staying in contact when August 1st rolls around this year! I\u2019m so glad Lucas and I volunteered for the Archive Project because I don\u2019t think anyone else could have done a better job of introducing us to IMSA. I\u2019ll always remember you as the best pres ever, and I can\u2019t wait to tell stories about you to the sophomores next year like you did this year for Maggie DiMarco!! Don\u2019t worry, I won\u2019t tell them about your secret collection of toe socks\u2026Anyways, I hope that THE big kahuna, Blake Gregory Hennings, enjoys these next four years and comes to visit us sometimes!!<\/p>\n

To Caden, I will you a dry t-shirt. I still feel bad about spitting water on you during the tortilla slap game at IASC! Thank you for being an awesome lead facilitator (for the entire year) and for always sharing your snacks with me! It was really nice to meet Tumeric and your mom when we went to Chicago and I definitely think you should buzz your hair like we were talking about on the train back. Have so much fun at Emory and don\u2019t be a stranger!!<\/p>\n

To Molly, I will you to never have to run from the floor again for IASC. You\u2019re just one of those people that can do anything they set their mind to, and I admire that so much about you. You are such a core part of IMSA that I genuinely can\u2019t imagine next year without you. Thank you so so much for talking to me during my Shadow Day (even though you seriously don\u2019t remember this) and for moving me in on the first day of sophomore year. Keep in touch and I hope you get to play a lot of Skyrim over the summer!!<\/p>\n

To Amada, I will you a million rebondir facon fous\u2019 from an upperclassman just as funny and inspiring as you. From sitting in the corner of Horowitz to laughing during prom together, you\u2019ve genuinely become my favorite senior on this campus. I\u2019m going to miss you so so much when you leave for S(D)SU and I really don\u2019t know how I\u2019m going to survive next year without you sitting at my French table. The first time I met you I thought you were so intimidating and cool, but little did I know that you\u2019re secretly a FURRY\u2026if you\u2019d have told me last semester that the trade senior asking for belly rubs would turn out to be one of my best friends this semester, I would’ve told you to il faut rebondir. I know everyone at bop university is going to absolutely love you, so I hope you find someone to separate your curls, give you head pats, feed you mangonada, walk you to dance practice, larp being Hispanic with you, and all the other inside jokes we\u2019ve made in the past six months. I\u2019ll hold you to that reunion in the middle of nowhere, Bakersfield. Don\u2019t forget about your family back in Illinois (me and Quinn) and come visit us sometime!! <\/p>\n

To Aimanohi, I will you a new pair of Beats headphones and all the Baja Blast you want! I remember when I first met you I thought you were a really cool sophomore\u2026but hey! That just speaks to your awesome personality and youthful glow. Thanks for always offering to go to the gym with me and making me laugh during satire. Don\u2019t be a stranger!<\/p>\n

To Brooke, I will you a bald spot. Seriously. There\u2019s only room for one curly head around here\u2026 but I guess now that you\u2019re graduating it\u2019ll be okay. I\u2019ll miss you hair twin!<\/p>\n

To Lucy, I will you to get some much needed R&R this summer! I just know that you have so much ahead of you in life. Between planning Chasing Equity, prom, and so many SCC events, you\u2019re iconic. Thank you for always giving me little tidbits of advice in the MHD lounge, or during IASC, or during NSLDC. I will always remember you as standing on business! I said this before but don\u2019t be a stranger and I hope you have the best time in DC!!<\/p>\n

To Eleanor, I will you the tiniest golden retriever puppy you\u2019ve ever seen. Now multiply the feeling you get when you see it 10x. That\u2019s the feeling I get when I see you on campus with Juliene and Mason. I am so grateful that I got to know you better when we were lab partners because otherwise I\u2019d be missing out on all the funny stuff that you do! Who else would I rizz up every S&E? Who else would sit in the MHD lounge armchairs watching South Park every chance they get? Who else would rub their BARE FEET all over Mason Pattanaik during 10 check? I love you simpleton, never change! Come visit me and Juliene sometime. <\/p>\n

To Mason, I will you a really cool pair of sunglasses, a stick, and a long fur coat. Maybe some gold chains and a fedora while I\u2019m here. You\u2019re probably thinking, why in the world would Cassie will me those specific items? Well, allow me to explain\u2026yup that pretty much sums it up. I\u2019ll always remember you and the fun times we shared together this year! Whether it was saying hi to you in the MHD lounge through varying methods, bullying you at ten check, or twirling your hair into little curls with Juliene, I will never forget how hard you made me laugh. Le Mason James, Superman, pimpleton, thanks for being such a great friend!! Love you and you better not block me on Instagram after you graduate!!<\/p>\n

To Ethan, I will you as many bottles of Squirt as you want. And maybe some better curtains in your dorm too. Thanks for always bringing the personality to the Communications + Chem Society meetings!! I\u2019ll try not to forget all the variants of a fist bump that you\u2019ve taught me and Quinn. My first impression of you was during move-in my sophomore year with Brent Rodrigo, and I remember two things stood out to me right away. One was, of course, your millennial lesbian haircut, but the other thing was how friendly and helpful you were! Thanks for being my inspiration on how to be a great upperclassmen, and I hope UIUC treats you well!!<\/p>\n

To Damaris, I will you a shower bar strong enough to do pull-ups on. Thanks for being one of my first friends at IMSA and for your amazing contributions to our satire class :)<\/p>\n

To Charlotte, I will you so many great runs in college! Thank you for being such an inspiring upperclassmen on the cross country team. I genuinely think that I wouldn\u2019t have continued the season as long as I did if it wasn\u2019t for you, so thank you!! <\/p>\n

To Tatiana, I will you someone to draft Instagram posts and share food with. It brings me so much joy when I see you walking into the wing with food because I know that you\u2019re always down to share!! I hope college treats you well and we stay in touch!!<\/p>\n

To Kate, I will you this will, if that makes any sense. I\u2019m so grateful that you were in my choir class first semester sophomore year, because who else would be able to sit through Mrs. Coster\u2019s antics with a straight face? Good luck with NROTC and best believe I\u2019ll be reaching out for advice in August! <\/p>\n

To Dani, I will you an absolute miracle\u2026an A+ in French III with Monsieur. You deserve it. I am so glad I sat down with Marina that first semester because I was able to meet you! You\u2019re one of the coolest girls I know and I hope you have the best time when you leave IMSA <33<\/p>\n

To Eric, I will you an endless supply of honey osmanthus oolong boba tea. The first time I talked to you at NSLDC was genuinely a fever dream but one of the best things I remember was how friendly and outgoing you were! Thank you for always bringing the energy to our Studco meetings, especially when we all knew you were overcommitted with CAB!! Modphys with you, Henry, Sameer, TJ, Michelle, and Lucas was seriously one of the funniest classes I\u2019ve taken so far at IMSA. I hope that Yale treats you so well during your Ethics, Politics, & Economics and Art History major!!! Blake says that you are THE person to ask for college advice, so best believe I might be reaching out to you soon\u2026or not. I\u2019ll miss you Eric!<\/p>\n

\nCassius Amegashie-Caref<\/b><\/p>\n

To Caden Tam, I will you more time to care about yourself(and ABGs). Caden, you have been one of the most goated seniors this year. Emory is so lucky to have you studying chemistry and your presence. You always make an effort to check in on me and make sure I’m doing alright. I remember the early days of Studco and Spanish class last semester. I feel like us getting close to you really helped me get through this school year. Thank you so much for taking me to prom and being one of my best friends. You have worked so incredibly hard this school year and have been so involved. Take college as an opportunity to cool off, bro. You have earned some time to worry about yourself and not 90 clubs and people. I am so proud of you and excited to see how you avoid peanuts and enjoy ATL.<\/p>\n

To Aditya Tiwari, I will you to keep being the perfect combo of brainrot and deep conversation. Adi, you have been my greatest role model in being an RSL and a good person on campus. You are always there for your friends and genuinely care deeply about them in a way that I can’t say about many people at IMSA. One thing that has always stuck out to me about you is how diverse your ideas are. You are so knowledgeable and interested in so many things, and I am so happy that you are going to Duke, where you can pursue all your niche interests. I have always admired your ability to switch from benign, serious, and thoughtful to being brain-rotted and funny. Don’t lose that. You always find a way to cheer me up when I am feeling down, no matter how you do it, so please keep being who you are. Thank you so much for showing me what it’s like to actually care about this community (05), and I can’t wait to see what you\u2019ll do.<\/p>\n

To Sumaer Gupta, I will you appreciation for everything you do. Sumaer, I just want to let you know how much you mean to me and how proud I am of you. You have been my #1 inspiration at IMSA, and I enjoy your presence so much. I remember being a scared sophomore and asking you questions about Studco and being J@L. I will maintain your legacy long after you leave Sumaer. Thank you so much for being my friend and being there for me. Your energy and hypeness is infectious, and I love listening to music with you. Sumaer, even if you feel like you\u2019ve been screwed over, think about the hand you were dealt with this and all the challenges and hoops you have jumped through. Don’t forget that there are people like me who are proud of what you do. I wish I could give you infinite gifts to show how much I appreciate you.<\/p>\n

To Amada Garcia and Cindy Gonzalez, I will you to find a new ray of sunshine in college. You two are some of the funniest people I know, and every time I talk to you guys, there is always something to laugh about. Amada, even though you weren’t reelected, your work on Studco really inspired me in my sophomore year, and the way you laugh and are uniquely yourself always makes me smile. Cindy, you are so kind and genuine, while also being funny, and even though you’re never in class, the hub is always better when you’re in it. I also wanted to give you guys an infinite DoorDash gift card, but then I remembered what you guys say about Lorenzo and me. I hope you guys find people who bring you joy like us in college. Don’t forget that joy exists and stay yourselves. You guys are some of the most unique and so yourselves, please don’t lose that.<\/p>\n

To Blake Hennings and Eric Lee, I will you an Ivy League Heated Rivalry. Seriously, guys, congratulations on going to Harvard and Yale. That is an insanely huge deal. As two of the most important student leaders on this campus, you two deserve it more than anything. Blake, your passion for Studco has inspired me throughout the year, and it’s made me think about what type of pres\/vp I want to be(if I get elected lol). Your love for physics, food, and Intramural sports reminds me to stay passionate about life. Eric, your positive energy and events you put on with CAB have sparked some of the highlights of my IMSA Career. You also make me laugh with whatever lingo you’re using this week and your bluntness in meetings. I know that the Harvard-Yale rivalry will be intense between you guys. I already know there\u2019s gonna be random trash talk and way too much pride over football games. Honestly, it\u2019s kinda funny that IMSA somehow managed to send two of its biggest personalities straight into one of the oldest college rivalries out there. The Ivy League truly doesn’t know what it’s getting into with you, two. Don’t lose your passions when you’re at those big schools, and don’t get lost in the pool of smart kids. Stand out in a crowd and be yourselves.<\/p>\n

To Tony Han, I will you to be proud of yourself. Tony, regardless of what you think of yourself, I believe you are one of the smartest people I know. I remember going into the C wing commons during sophomore year and talking to you about whatever work you were doing and just having a genuine conversation with you. Even if you didn’t know it, those conversations really helped me destress after long days and made me feel welcomed into the 05 community. Every time I talk to you, it seems like you do. But your capabilities and who you are, who cares what anyone else thinks of you, or if your college is not prestigious, or your grade isn’t high enough? All that does not take away from the fact that you are an icon, you are smart, and you are a genuinely good person and friend.You are going to do big things, stop worrying about everything, and remember that 6 friends are better than 6 As.<\/p>\n

To Victor Fernandes, I will you less stress. Relax, Victor, your SSS of CAB events, AD Chem 2, and other bad things is finally over. The first time we really talked was during the IASC trip. I remember actually becoming your friend and enjoying learning about you and creating our handshake. Victor, you are so kind, and you are such a genuine person who deserves the world. Take the break you deserve. You have worked so hard, so I need you to relax and end the doom and despair. I also know you will find your person in college, no matter who that is. The age of Victor is coming, and I am so excited to see it.<\/p>\n

To BSU of Present and Past (Tyler Rush, Fedora Noya, Immaculate Nalule-Mugagga, Aubri Richardson, Mariah Christmas, Benicet Konan), I will you Black Excellence. I\u2019m so proud of all of you and your college decisions because you guys are genuinely going places. Every one of you has shaped my experience in BSU and helped make IMSA\u2019s Black community feel like home to me. Seeing upperclassmen lead with confidence, passion, and pride made me want to do the same for the younger students coming in after us. I hope the underclassmen continue the legacy you all helped build and keep pushing BSU to be an even stronger community. \u201cDon\u2019t you ever forget that being Black is an honor, because you come from greatness.\u201d
\nTo Sonya Patel, I will you infinite whimsy and joy. Sonya, I love how happy you are about life. Whether you\u2019re posting random stuff on your story, yapping about anything and everything, or goofing around in Spanish class, you\u2019re always living life to the fullest and enjoying it. You\u2019re going to be the best lawyer ever, and I can\u2019t wait to see you embrace your inner Jeff Winger (just don\u2019t get disbarred). <\/p>\n

To my 05 RSLs I haven\u2019t mentioned already (Nathan Handjojo, Raj Patel, Maneth Perera, Aryan Mansingh, Deen Kareem), I wish you a vibrant community like the one of 05 in college. 05 would not be the same without all of you being there to help make events happen and run this hall. I remember the Casino Nights of sophomore year, the potlucks this year, and all the programming we\u2019ve been forced to run. We are always finding ways to make 05 great and make this family feel like home. I hope that in college you find a community like 05 and have just as much fun as we did. <\/p>\n

To Molly Federici, I will you to stay funny. Molly, you are one of the funniest people I know, and you always make me smile when I talk to you. Northwestern is so lucky to have you, and I am so excited for you to experience such a good school. Keep telling jokes and being the funniest person in the room.<\/p>\n

To Adi Tiwari, I will you a record of \u201cStreets of Bolingbrook\u201d. I also will you a maxed-out Brawl Stars account for you to use. I also will you a Dummit & Foote Abstract Algebra textbook. Notice how it doesn\u2019t start explaining group theory by using modular arithmetic. Lastly, I will you some friends at Duke who will *actually* help you write quantum papers.<\/p>\n

To Ethan Hunt, I will you season tickets to the Chicago Bears. Hopefully the O line they just drafted works. I also will you a new deck of cards, so you don\u2019t need to use Google Solitaire.<\/p>\n

I’m so happy that we got close, even if it was the last culture show. You’re so chill and one of the most down-to-earth people here. You definitely have the key to my heart now, and I’m so excited to see what you do :)) UUUNIVERSITYYY OF OREEGONN (better watch out for you)! \u2220(\u2018-\u2018 )<\/p>\n

Please share the fruit with me though Anyways I won’t miss you too much, since you’re coming back next year!! so, close enough, welcome back Kyle Elzy! best super senior on campus .^.<\/p>\n

To Molly Federici, I will you a box of Kraft Mac n’ Cheese. I owe you one. You are the embodiment of Clash spirit, and I admire it so much. Thank you for all of your whimsicality. You have a genuinely wonderful aura, you’re just so whimsical – I can’t explain it. I hope you have so much fun in college and achieve amazing things. I’ll keep you in my heart, and I’ll keep Molly 2.0 too, even if she is a little scary. >:)<\/p>\n

To Victor Fernandes, I will you the concept and feeling of happiness. You’ve been through so much at this school, dude, I’m so happy for you that you are free. Your love life is not hopeless, I promise you. You’re genuinely so so awesome, and I wish nothing but the best for you. I curse you to be happy and joymaxx like abracadabra be happy! you’re a goat and ill miss you so much, but yay Victor!!<\/p>\n

To Rylan Malek, I will you a live performance of “Beep Beep (The Little Nash Rambler)” by Playmates. From all of our time together every Tuesday and Thursday during driver’s ed, I’m so glad we met each other. It’s always a good time when we’re together. You’re so genuinely hilarious, I don’t even know why we were laughing half the time. You might want to look into just doing stand-up comedy for a living, I honestly think it would work. Good luck in college and stay hilarious :D beep beep out!<\/p>\n

To Vishruth Pesala, I will you no more stress ever again. One day, you’re going to genuinely just fall over from how stressed you are, especially during tech weeks. Those cortisol spikes cannot be good for your heart in any way or form. I have no clue how you’ve survived three years of ninja-ing in your condition. good luck in Florida!<\/p>\n

To Grace Rhee, I will you endless “aww, SO CUTE!!”‘s. you’re so cute hehe okay bye bye wo de ke ai de bao bei :p<\/p>\n

To Helen Shao, I will you endless Honeydew Melona ice cream bars, adequate sleep, and energy drinks at the snap of your fingers, (although hopefully you won’t need them! (and success and happiness in life, obviously (I guess))). I think of the person I’ll miss the most next year, and it’s immediately you. I’m so so so grateful that we met this year, I can’t imagine IMSA without you. From our 5am intersession talk to small conversations during midday, I enjoy talking to you so much. Thank you for all of your advice and wisdom. You see things from a very different perspective than I do, and it’s something I really look up to you for and value. You’re so driven and determined, always going for what you want, even if it’s just for Senior Assassin. Which is a very noble cause, if I may add. I genuinely hope you get everything you want in life; you deserve it. You’re one of the most legitimately wonderful people I know – you’re so funny and kind. Have fun so so so much fun at college, please sleep, and I hope you keep being so incredibly awesome. i love you so much and miss you already! <3<\/p>\n

To Sophia Atanassov and Saesha Sumeeth, I will you joy and success wherever you go. Although I don't know either of you super well, I wanted to thank you for being a familiar face at swim when everything else was unfamiliar. good luck in life! :)<\/p>\n

To Aqeel Bajowala, I will you a brown girl wherever you go. Helping you clean the vomit off your room floor at 3 in the morning was one of the most stressful but hilarious times of my life. I\u2019m really glad we were able to get close in Mexico, and I really wish I hadn\u2019t been a goon all last year and reached out before our trip, but even then that was one of the most amazing times ever. Bonding with you after check in wing commons was also great, and seeing you scroll and do anything but work was also funny asl. Our functions in B wing will always be in my best memories.<\/p>\n

To Angel Castillo, I will you lots of tattoos. You\u2019re very emotionally intelligent and always know what to say, and your tats are one of the things that make you yourself, especially after hearing the meanings behind them. Playing 8 ball in class and doing anything but pay attention in Gender Studies was fun asl, and all the advice you\u2019ve given me will always stick with me through all the decisions I make. Mexico witchu was also really fun, and hanging out on your balcony to look at the sky and talk before going to bed was always great after a long day. You will always be one of the people I look up to most. <\/p>\n

To Blake Hennings, I will you lots of functions in Boston with your Harvard friends. I also will you the ability to write as any essays as you want and make poetry. You\u2019ve always been one of the people I looked up to ever since we got placed in the same wing last year, and even though we didn\u2019t talk much, I always saw you working hard and rushing around to all your meetings. The advice you gave me after check when everyone was sleeping and we were hanging out in wing commons was always super helpful, and I\u2019m very thankful you helped me see the flaws in the way I thought about things. You are one of the best role models I could\u2019ve asked for and all long paragraphs and essays we wrote were also very entertaining. Thank you for being someone I was always able to come to in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n

To Kennedy Su, I will you big muscles so you can get lots of ABGs and matcha. Thanks for those conversations we had at night after check while everyone hung out in wing commons, your advice meant a lot and I\u2019m glad we could relate on our relationship situations.<\/p>\n

To Eric Lee, I will you REAL labubus and REAL smiskis and lots of fun at Yale. Thanks for hosting me in your quad even when I was a bit much at times<\/p>\n

To Ryan Kim, I will you a fight club at North Western and a wrestling coach to help you beat everyones a**. You are tuff<\/p>\n

To Aiden Singleton, I will you a good roommate who won\u2019t kick you out of your room because they projectile vomited all over the wall. <\/p>\n

To Dominic Tous, I will you roommates who won\u2019t throw parties in your room while you\u2019re tryna sleep. I know we weren\u2019t super tight but thank you for hosting me and ordering food with me so I didn\u2019t feel like a chud.<\/p>\n

\nCicen Chingis<\/b><\/p>\n

To Katherine Jiang, I will you many nights full of sleep and no stressful assignments. When you reached out to me on DISCORD that one day and asked me to be your lil sib and although I was a bit scared at first, I still accepted. Every day, I’m so glad that you asked me because I could not have asked for a better big sib. You always helped me with my various questions about IMSA culture and helped me acclimate here. Even beyond that, you made me feel like IMSA was home. You\u2019re so comforting, funny, and so much fun to just talk to and crash out with, and I\u2019m so grateful for every memory we made together. Crashing out about random teachers (cough cough LE1 and 20th cent\u2026) has been so much fun and I’m really gonna miss that. I know you need a lot of sleep in college (because we know you dont do much here) so I will you many many MANY restful nights with no stress about assignments or grades. I genuinely dont know what my years at imsa would\u2019ve looked like without you, so thank you for being here for me. Thank you for always listening to my random rants and making me feel understood. College better prepare itself for your naps, your crash outs, and your ability to somehow survive academically while doing the bare minimum. I\u2019m seriously going to miss you, and I hope you know how much of an impact you had on me this year. I love you!<\/p>\n

To Eric Lee, I will you unlimited doordash, because I feel like I almost always see you eating. When I think of who I want to be at IMSA, I always think of you. I\u2019m gonna start glazing here, but you are genuinely one of the most impressive people on campus. You\u2019re locked on school, locked in extracurricular activities, and you\u2019re so much fun to be around. Honestly, I don\u2019t know how you manage to balance everything so well while still being such a chill and approachable person. I feel like a lot of people look up to you, whether they say it out loud or not, because of how hardworking and driven you are. At the same time, you never make people feel intimidated talking to you, and I really appreciate that. Every interaction I\u2019ve had with you has been funny, memorable, or somehow both at the same time. IMSA genuinely won\u2019t feel the same without you around next year. Thank you for being someone that people can look up to while still making everyone feel comfortable and included. I know you\u2019re going to do amazing things in college, and don\u2019t forget us when you become famous!<\/p>\n

To Jessica Jiang, I will you endless success, supportive people, and many peaceful nights without deadlines. Being on ASIA with you this year has been so much fun, and I\u2019m so thankful for everything you\u2019ve done for me, the club, and everyone in it. You created a welcoming atmosphere by being so nice, helpful, and encouraging. You\u2019ve made ASIA feel so much less intimidating for me and a lot more fun. IMSA won\u2019t feel the same without you, but I know you\u2019re going to continue doing incredible things wherever you go. Thank you so much for everything. I\u2019m going to miss you so much. <\/p>\n

To Helen Shao, I will you permanent aura and endless success. I am so glad that you hit me up on DISCORD to warn me about dating korean dudes (ahem\u2026look at how that turned out) because I would not have realized how chill you were then. Even during my time on ASIA board, I continue to see how much fun you are. You always bring such a funny and relaxed energy everywhere you go, but you know when we have to lock in. I really admire how involved and hardworking you are while still somehow maintaining your aura at all times. You genuinely made ASIA board and IMSA feel a lot more welcoming and fun, and I\u2019m really grateful I got the chance to know you this year.know you\u2019re going to do amazing things in college, and I hope life gives you everything you deserve: success, happiness, good food, and freedom from weird men forever. Thank you so much for everything. I\u2019m going to miss you so much. <\/p>\n

To Kate Honchar, I will you a very healthy life with loads of fun. I feel like whenever i see you before practice, you\u2019re always with the trainer. I think that\u2019s so cool, because it shows your dedication to the team and the sports you play. These past 2 years playing basketball with you have been so fun, and I know I say this a lot, but you\u2019re a big role model for me. I\u2019ve always looked up to your work ethic, determination, and the way you support the people around you. Whether it was during practices, games, or just random moments in the gym, you helped make basketball so much more enjoyable for me. IMSA basketball honestly won\u2019t feel the same without you next year. Thank you for being such an important part of my IMSA experience, and I know you\u2019re going to do amazing things in college!<\/p>\n

To Abbi Kinsland, I will you unlimited fun and energy in college. These past 2 years have been so amazing when I played basketball with you. You somehow made even the most exhausting practices feel fun, and I\u2019m really grateful I got the chance to play alongside with you. One thing I\u2019ve always admired about you is how passionate you are whenever you step onto the court, but you still have fun! You push yourself so hard but you also encourage everyone to do better too. Our team wouldn\u2019t be the same without you. Thank you for all the laughs, advice, gossip sessions, and everything you\u2019ve brought. It\u2019s going to be really weird not seeing you at practices or games next year, but I know you\u2019re going to do amazing wherever life takes you.<\/p>\n

To Aditiya Tiwari, I will you a great SCIA event (finally) . You have been an amazing president for one of the most chill and fun clubs on campus. I\u2019m so glad that you gave me this great opportunity, and I promise to not let you down! I WILL run this great SCIA event next year (and maybe even invite you) and make SCIA more known. Thank you so much for being such a funny person to talk to but still super locked (like how do you know all these fun IMSA facts). I know you will do great things in college, so have fun!<\/p>\n

To Kayleen Yoo, I will you unlimited food and an amazing roommate in college. Although I don\u2019t know if I should will you unlimited food because I already feel like you have unlimited food (I’m so jealous). In all honesty, I did not expect to have you as a roommate, but it\u2019s been so chill and I\u2019m really glad it worked out the way it did. You always made the room feel comfortable and easygoing, and I really appreciated that as a junior suffering through second semester. Thank you for being such a considerate and laidback roommate (especially when I played Valorant or when I was on the phone) and helping make IMSA feel more like home. I know you\u2019re going to do amazing in college, and I hope your future roommate is just as good as you were!<\/p>\n

To Anaika Bhagta, I will you many Zuko and Nightwing edits and unlimited ramen. Last year, I heard about you and was like \u201coh, okay so she\u2019s a senior,\u201d and that was it. I just knew you went here. However, having you in my wing has been one of the best times ever. Whether it was late-night conversations, laughing at people doing hall cleanings, and even just hanging out for a bit during 10-check, you\u2019ve honestly become one of the people I\u2019ll remember most. I\u2019ll also remember how you always asked me for ramen\u2026 But other than the many ramen packs I\u2019ve given you, you have helped me so much throughout this whole year, and I know you will do great in college. IMSA won\u2019t feel the same without you, and thank you for making this place brighter for so many people, including me.<\/p>\n

\nCinna Davis<\/b><\/p>\n

To Aditya Tiwari, I will you a society where anarchy actually works. I still think you’re crazy but it’d be fun to see. You’re the most cracked senior I know, and I will you success in your future endeavors and career :)) <\/p>\n

To Swara Kakumani, I will you 4 adorable rats. And also a portal to an alternate universe where all characters in A New Generation are actually the different actors who played Robin. Maybe then it’d be a good movie…<\/p>\n

To Amelia Kinney, I will you an unlimited supply of Oberweis. You’ve helped me so much this year and I am so so so so eternally grateful for everything !!!!!!!! Keep me updated on how your cosplaying goes!<\/p>\n

To Arya Biss, I will you an autographed copy of Child of the Appalachian Coalfields. I also will you the ability to stop ragebaiting (you’re getting too good). <\/p>\n

To Jack Davis, I will you a better gunglular. Despite me being annoying AF I believe in you! <\/p>\n

To Locklin Bell, I will you a skip button so you don’t have to watch all those Scouts of America training videos. <\/p>\n

To Ethan Charoenpitaks, I will you ownership of the BNSF rail line. I actually bought the rights to it on eBay, and I’m giving it to you now (I think that’s how it works?). <\/p>\n

To Jade Go, I will you a copy of the Toki Pona dictionary. If I see you again in 20 years you BETTER be fluent… stay niche and kafkapilled!!<\/p>\n

To Sonya Patel, I will you infinite nine bar, long-awaited big sib lil sib dinner, and super bomb digi pics. Thank you for looking out for me and adopting me since welcome week. You will always be my favorite most passionate StudCo member, and I’m really sad that you will be leaving. A bunch of big siblings abandon their lil sibs as soon as second semester begins, but you’ve always checked in on me and talked to me, and for that I’m really grateful!! Never stop being the jolly, funny, and sweet girl that you are. I am so excited to watch you become the evil corporate lawyer you’ve always dreamed to be, and I’ll be supporting you on the sidelines!! I will miss you so so much please come back and take an access walk with me :)))<\/p>\n

To StudCo Seniors, thank you for making my first year of StudCo such a positive experience! You guys are truly so cracked and an inspiration. Blake- Ma, I will you a billion starbucks gift cards and a t-shirt that says “THE BIG KAHUNA”. You are genuinely such a friendly and funny person. Thank you for all of the advice you’ve given me about getting through IMSA and for always keeping us on track during meetings. I’ve loved being able to clock you and talk to you about random stuff in the halls this year(Block)! Your work ethic is truly unmatched, and I know StudCo will ever be the same without you. Eric- ma, I will you a conducting wand and an award for our “award-winning quartet”. ASIA, orchestra, and Studgagement have been so lit this year, and this campus will not be the same without our overcommitted king! You have been such an inspiration to me this year, and I hope to be able to inherit some of your confidence and charisma. Yale is so lucky to have you! Caden- y Papa, I will you a bracelet that matches your skin tone and a line-cutting pass. It has been really nice getting to know you this year! You are so caring for the people around you, and I’ve really loved making fun of you during meetings. I remember getting to know you a lot better during Intersession, and I’m going to miss taking walks with you and Eric in freezing weather. Emory is lucky to have such a dedicated and kind person. I hope you enjoy college and continue LEADing others :). Sumaer- I will you a Lexington banana. Thanks for always being so much fun! You are so hardworking and fun to talk to. I’ve really enjoyed all of our banana cow boy productions, and I hope you’ll never lose your whimsy!<\/p>\n

To Anaika Bhagta, I will you a celsius fridge and another season of XO Kitty. I’m so grateful to have met you through the BC2 trenches. Crying through this semester together has definitely been what got me through, and I’m gonna miss you in math next year! Good luck graduating as a doctor in 6 years and never having any free time to hang out with me. I hope you’ll come back from Kansas to visit :)) . Eric- *see studco stuff :)) Helen- I will you a beautiful time in college with people as smart and hardworking as you are. Thank you for keeping ASIA together and taking care of the things that no one else can see. I don’t know how we’re going to survive without you! Jessica- I will you a friend with as kind of a demeanor as you. Your levelheadedness and sweetness is such a blessing, and I hope you have a great time in college!<\/p>\n

To all of the seniors this year who have made me laugh, given me advice, and inspired me, I’m so grateful to have had the privilege to get to know you, and I’m going to miss you so much :’). You are going to do great things!! Happy graduation!! <33<\/p>\n

\nDerrick Xianto<\/b><\/p>\n

To Luke Yin, I will you one million dollars, to help you in your new career that you have found so much passion for. I still remember meeting you during Welcome Week, where after gaslighting me into thinking you were Roy, we took a picture of a toilet on Access. It was a pleasure knowing you, Luke.<\/p>\n

To (Jo)Nathan Handjojo, I will you 500 pairs of cyan Crocs. You were an absolutely amazing big sib and a normal schmen. I loved hearing about your pursuits and projects, and helping you where I could was always very fun. Dylan and I both are very fond of you, so hit us up at any time, we would love to keep in touch :))<\/p>\n

To Louis Chen, I will you a violin. I think you should pursue music more, you’re quite very good. I also want to add that you are my favorite IMSA pickleball player. Someday, I will also be low cortisol like you.<\/p>\n

To Aditya Tiwari, I will you your own Skyblock foraging setup. I still have it, sir :p. I also would like to will you my gratitude for your assistance as a mentor. You have enlightened me in many ways, but most notably, you showed me how much a man could love pens. I enjoyed sharing Spanish class with you, and I’m glad you had enough credits to graduate this year!<\/p>\n

To Victor Fernandes, I will you a giant art canvas and all the colors you’ll ever want or need, so you can express yourself fully and I can witness your greatness. I enjoyed all the time we spent together this year, from welcome week hangouts to times you passed down your wisdom, every second was worth it. Thank you for everything!<\/p>\n

To Angel Castillo Campa, I will you a Fornite battle pass. Even though I’ve never touched the game, I really enjoyed hearing your pursuits and victories in Fornite during 10 check. I want to thank you profusely, though, for all the advice and time you spent with me. Your company always helped me, and so I would like to thank you for all you’ve done for me. <\/p>\n

To Saroj Chilakuri, I will you 5 million hot sauce packets. Hopefully this will help you digest oily foods. I really enjoyed spending this year with you, I’ll definitely miss you and your Dr. Peppers.<\/p>\n

To Eric Chen, I will you a proper graduation. Don’t worry though, I’ll enjoy seeing you next year, my super-senior.<\/p>\n

To Tony Han, I will you a new deck of cards. I hope that you will use these cards to hit it very big someday, since you already are a part of that 1%. I also wanted to wish you 8 hours of sleep. Thank you for all of your advice.<\/p>\n

To Dominic Tous, I will you a scoop of the Oberweis marshmallow and wildberry flavors. On a side note, you were such a cool violist, and I’ll miss your presence in Symphonic.<\/p>\n

To Vishnu Vijay, I will you a disco ball. Not only did you have the moves, but you also were my favorite LEAD facilitator. You made it easy to have high energy in your class :) Have fun in Connecticut (if you’re going there) and don’t forget me when you’re a billionaire please.<\/p>\n

To Aarav Shah, I will you a Costco membership card. Thank you for MAO advice, I don’t know if I put it to good use but it was nonetheless great advice. I wanted to give you a Costco membership card (even if you already have one) so to an extent, you always will have access to buying laptops such as your own. <\/p>\n

To Katherine Jiang, I wish you a dog plushie. Have fun in Texas, I hope next time we talk, you’ll have gained a southern accent. <\/p>\n

To Haydn Chan, I will you many squishy plushies, like cute ducks. I also want to thank you for your handshakes, they helped reset my hand to factory settings.<\/p>\n

To Venkataashish Gogineni, I will you a soccer ball that you can will to Ian Wang. You da goat my goat.<\/p>\n

To Abhilash Polu, I will you an IMSA tennis jersey. You really rocked the outfit, and even if I haven’t seen you play, you are the #1 tennis player in my heart. Lexington next year will feel very empty without you. I wish you the best!<\/p>\n

To Andrew Bae, Aarav Lala, and Laksh Patel, I will you all a stapler. You guys would probably find something entertaining to do with such an item.<\/p>\n

To Harrison Jang, I will you a pack of Buldak ramen. I think your reaction would be especially interesting.<\/p>\n

To Drew Wang, I will you a piece of paper, because you’re tear-iffic.<\/p>\n

To Roy Wang, I will you more performances at Carnegie Hall. I understand you might be a little far (since you’re going to Stanford), but you always have to remember your roots right? I also will you an infinite amount of Nerds Gummy Clusters of any variety you wish upon. No need to slow down with all that aura chasing you. And just remember, IMSA will always admire you from the bleachers (just like we did during Clash).<\/p>\n

\nDhruv Ravinuthala<\/b><\/p>\n

To Aditya Tiwari, I will you blue industrial food dye. Honestly, there’s not really any way to put into words how grateful I am to have met you at IMSA. From going to Chicago for 05 movie to the countless 05 events, this school is definitely going to be a lot different without you. I would write everything I could think of to glaze you, but I don’t think the Acronym would want to have to publish an article for just this specific will. Have fun at Duke! The 05 RSL team will miss you a lot, using Tiwari for All ourselves is going to take some work. <\/p>\n

To Sumaer Gupta, I will you another trip to Chinatown. You’ve been the best big sib I ever could have had, and IMSA probably would have been a lot scarier for me as a soph without you. I’m going to miss having you in Mandarin class (btw please let me know if any of Zhang Laoshi’s friends actually call you). Have fun in college!<\/p>\n

To Maneth Pererra, I will you the independence of British Ceylon, and for both you and Paul Ratasuk, I will another underclassman to sleep on your floor. Both of you are amazing people and have made my IMSA experience memorable, to say the least. Staying up late in your guys’ room is probably also one of the only reasons I’m passing my classes. Have a great time in college (and Maneth, just because you’re leaving doesn’t mean I’m going to stop stealing your Frescas).<\/p>\n

To Nathan Handjojo, I will you a pen butterfly knife. I’m going to miss the endless trolling I receive from you weekly, and our many Indomie trades (Hopefully I can find someone half as obsessed with it as you are). Have fun in college!<\/p>\n

To Tony Han, I will you a feature on Epic Rap Battles of History, and a new fedora. 05 isn’t going to be the same next year without you, and neither is the quizbowl team. Please let me know if you ever make any more diss tracks, I would love to hear them. Have fun in college!<\/p>\n

To Arya Biss, I will you someone in college that will listen to your opinions for long extents of time. I’m going to miss hearing you yap for minutes on end, and also your immediate first-lining of tossups about some random representative in Nebraska. Have fun in college! <\/p>\n

To Jade Go, I will you a print copy of Wikipedia. Talking to you about random niche bio has been really cool, and I’m going to miss it a lot. I’ll let you know if I ever break your 500-hour record on Wikipedia, though I doubt it’ll happen. Also, please let me know if you ever finish making my bingo board. Have fun in college!<\/p>\n

To Liam Ellingson, I will you another ladle to eat pho with. I’m going to miss having someone to coach me in Bedwars in person (though I still will be harassing you online). It’s also going to suck losing one of the few kids that do 4-H at this school. Hopefully you lock in and become the greatest minecraft player of all time in college, or a character in Steel Ball Run idk. Have fun in college!<\/p>\n

\nDominic Zhu<\/b><\/p>\n

To Maneth Perera, I will you lots of AI-generated images. You (unintentionally?) helped me realize that not everyone’s talk about me is necessarily true, or harmful. It was also nice knowing you more deeply during the second semester. I’m sure that one day, you will be creating lots of images of your friends. I also know that you’ll be a welcoming, supportive leader. <\/p>\n

To Nathan Handjojo, I will you a college residence hall just like 1505. Maybe that’s why I adapted so quickly to IMSA: because 1505 is the most supportive, spirited hall that also loves birthdays. I won’t forget all the advice you gave sophs during their first days. I’m sure you’ll remain an influencer in college who energizes his residence hall. IMSA was really lucky to have you. Also, I promise to be more involved in clash next year. <\/p>\n

To Vishnu Vijay, I will you another little sib in college. I should’ve talked to you a lot more than I did. Or maybe I didn’t need to because you made the IMSA transition effortless. After that first day, when I had dinner and chatted with you about teachers, I immediately knew that you’re one of the most passionate, supportive, and smartest seniors at IMSA. I think you’ll make college easier for many students, as soon as next year. <\/p>\n

To Luke Yin, I will you a converging lens. Next year, while you’re unsupervised, you should zoom in on the paper in front of you. You made me look forward to S&L every week, and also offered a ton of useful advice. You’re genuinely a funny person to be around, and I know it won’t be long before you’re having fun and replicating college students’ lab sheets. Getting to know you second semester might have been the highlight of my year. <\/p>\n

To the IMSA Quizbowl seniors, I will you more tossups and bonuses. Next year, I’m sure I’ll be more involved. Thanks for teaching me Anki – genuinely a study GOAT.<\/p>\n

To any unmentioned senior who influenced my sophomore year, I will you an apology. I can’t remember everyone who has helped make IMSA enjoyable, but I know all of you will quickly become leaders wherever you go.<\/p>\n

To Lucy Ferron, I will you math textbooks, German classes, and lots of vegan food. You are one of the most hardworking and kindest people I know. It’s been wonderful getting to know these past two years. I cherish the time we spent practicing speaking in German, going on walking trips, and discussing future plans. I will miss our conversations about MVC and everything else. I hope you have an amazing time at UIUC and I know you are going to go on to do awesome things. Maybe we will finally manage to meet during one of our breaks…fingers crossed!<\/p>\n

To Jade Go, I will you access to all the pathology textbooks in the world. Thank you for being a great SciOly partner and for all your advice about classes. I will miss studying for Microbe Mission and Disease Detectives together. You are so passionate about learning and I wish you all the best in your college journey and beyond!<\/p>\n

To Hailey Reuter, I will you many more Biology classes. Thank you for guidance about CSI. I really enjoyed our spontaneous conversations about our classes, summer plans, and life in general. You always have such a cheery outlook on things. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors!<\/p>\n

To the 01 C wing seniors, I will you many more movie nights. Thank you for creating such a welcoming and supportive environment. Thank you for all that you did this year, and good luck in your future endeavors.<\/p>\n

To the senior SciOly captains, I will you many more SciOly practices and lots of science knowledge. Thank you for leading a great season, and engaging practices. This season was so much fun, and I enjoyed every moment of it.<\/p>\n

To all of the graduating seniors, I will you lots of sleep and future success. Keep in touch!!<\/p>\n

\nEric Barajas<\/b><\/p>\n

To Aarav Lala, I wish you indefinite banishment from CMU\u2019s art department.<\/p>\n

To Karthik Prasad, I will you infinite squishes. I guess I didn\u2019t know what to will you (I think you have enough), but you were the first person to talk to me at IMSA about math, and to be honest, you\u2019re what drove me to have some passion doing it. Karthik Prasad is THE blueprint for being a disciplined student, and i\u2019ll be spending a lot of my time bettering myself because of you. Also I\u2019m sending you my college essays and you can\u2019t say no.<\/p>\n

To Roy Wang, I will you a better conductor. To my favorite Carnegie Hall clarinetist, you deserve another Rhapsody in Blue, and I wish that you conquest every club at Stanford like you have at IMSA. You have too much aura so I really don\u2019t know what to will you. Roy wang has won.<\/p>\n

To Jacob Plotnick, I will you my portable chess set. I remember meeting you at last year\u2019s carnival playing big chess, and I haven\u2019t gotten to see how good you are at chess, but I HAVE seen your mathematical ability!! Keep mogging at Uchicago, and take my portable chess board of questionable quality. you are just enthusiastically witty. <\/p>\n

To Aditya Tiwari, I will you indefinitely many Brawl Stars match carries. I\u2019m trying to get to Masters, but I\u2019ll always be here if you need to push trophies. Besides that, I know that you\u2019re the biggest leader I know, and all the reasons why probably would not fit here. The glaze you get from your teachers is incredibly justified. duke\u2019s not gonna know what hit em<\/p>\n

To Tony, I will you nothing but success. A lot of the time, you\u2019ve offered me so many opportunities for help with math camp apps, emails, and I remember your pestering to get my stuff done. You\u2019re a bigger role model than you think, because in certain ways I see you as one. keep being tony, tony. i won\u2019t forget you.<\/p>\n

To Haydn Chan, I will you someone\u2019s dad\u2019s quant internship. I\u2019m probably not in the position to will you this, but you\u2019re the smartest person who plays videogames all the time that I\u2019ve seen (no seriously WHAT were those adtop test grades). Hopefully, I get to see you in Romania this summer, so this won\u2019t be the last time I\u2019ll be in person with you. Jane Street calls for you, Haydn. Oxford should be salty.<\/p>\n

To Paul Watson, I will you the ability to be a self-taught legend. Being in both the jazz and wind ensemble with you has been an honor, especially when the both of us would be scrolling during practice and prancing around 03. with you, I feel that the band actually has some purpose and isn\u2019t completely lifeless; I think I\u2019d rather be listening to you conduct songs for 8 mods instead of 1 in our original band\u2026 oh heck yeah paul you\u2019re the goat<\/p>\n

To Luke Yin, I will you 21.6 million Thomas Lius. As the tuffest tennis player at IMSA, I feel that you deserve an army to help you switch to a math major at Princeton. <\/p>\n

To Drew Wang, my favorite fuzzy meatball, I will you infinite PRs. May this fuzzy meatball grow exponentially in size, because I know you will mog UIUC. I remember the first time I met you at that fateful tennis match 2 years ago where you and Harrison started hitting tweeners on me. I still don\u2019t forgive you for that, but I wish you nothing but the best.<\/p>\n

To Maneth Perera, I will you the ability to win against Karthik Prasad when you guys wrestle in class. I feel that Karthik has an unfair advantage sometimes, and I think he deserves some squishing once in a while. Find him once you graduate and take what was righteously yours.<\/p>\n

To nathan handjojo, I will you the biggest Steam family Steam has to offer. I think you\u2019re noticably the biggest gamer that I\u2019ve seen, especially since literally everywhere I go you\u2019re on some game. May you and Haydn frolic around in the plethora of games that you have.<\/p>\n

To Shomak Tan, I will you the use of your potential. I feel like doing this activates a 2nd Terence Tao, because I know I\u2019ve seen you get a decent grade in AdTop homeworks that you worked on for only 2 hours. Also, you breeze through competition math like it\u2019s nothing. shomak, you\u2019re the treasure i\u2019m summoning\u2026<\/p>\n

To Venkataashish Gogineni and Jeev Hora, I will you both the nichest reels Instagram has to offer. Cramming classes during 6th mod while having visual stimulation on the big screen (reels from Ven, Garry\u2019s Mod from Jeev) in the IRC is usually the funniest part of my day. Jeev, you\u2019re most likely the first junior that I talked to last year, and I remember your pen-spinning skills and your wardrobe of jeans and flannel shirts. I will you those. <\/p>\n

To Eric Lee, I will you all the aura I have left. I thought it would be funny if we had Erics willing other Erics.<\/p>\n

To Jade Go, I will you some fun in college. I still recall the Zoom meetings we both had in our geometry class when I was in 8th grade. I wish you could\u2019ve seen my cat in person, but I think that you should give yourself an awesome, fun break. I\u2019ve interacted with you a lot and haven\u2019t even noticed it, and it kinda freaks me out how many Wikipedia links you have on standby. You deserve a break from all the things you do. Be free!<\/p>\n

\nEric Chen<\/b><\/p>\n

To the Senior CABaddies, I will Eric Lee the name Eric. We ended up doing so many of the same activities this year and I\u2019m so glad I had the opportunity to look up to you in Bfriend, CAB, and Mod21, Leric! I will Molly Federici a large cardboard cutout of yourself. You are an amazing speaker and one of the funniest people I know. Never stop being you. To Ria, I will you a shirt from your alma mater. Working with you for all our Intramural sports and CAB activities has been amazing, and I\u2019ve learned so much from you. Keep being an amazing ninja warrior and inspiring people. To Victor, I will you a rapid rustication from college. I\u2019m really glad I got to see you cosplay Virus during Diwali. All the stuff we\u2019ve done and art projects we\u2019ve worked on are great memories of my time at IMSA and those late night talks with Saroj and Vidhan were some of the best days of first semester. Enjoy college and know that Junior CAB will carry on your guys\u2019 legacy! <\/p>\n

To Student Council and the Largest Senior, I will Blake Hennings a sparkly B-friend crop top. You were the greatest president at this school, and I\u2019ve really enjoyed our Digi Lit class of doom and despair! I will Caden Tam a walk on access road. You were basically my father during sophomore year, and I\u2019m sad to have left the wing. All those late-night talks meant a lot to me, and you were one of my favorite juniors in the wing! I will Sumaer Gupta a good big sib. You were one of the first seniors I ever knew of because of the Mrs. Gupta email we sent by mistake, but you\u2019re a great guy and a great senior! Talking to you about your personal life really made me reflect a lot, and honestly, it helped me get through a lot of my own burdens, so thank you for that. You guys were a great student council, and I know you\u2019ll all do great things!<\/p>\n

To Abigail Kinsland, I will you cheesecloth and a Sunrise Surprise. This whole year has just been me senior LARPing, and I\u2019m so glad you\u2019ve been there the whole time. Making cheese, ISMA Lex Bar, and experiencing SRELO have been the greatest things I\u2019ve done at IMSA. Thanks for being a (Abi)goat and redesigning my Insta for me! Make sure you learn the wo men ji song so you can impress the big PCA when you visit Dunlap!<\/p>\n

To Kate Honchar, I will you a whole rotisserie chicken. Watching movies and going on the shopping trip that one I-day was the first trip I went on this semester, I think, and I really need that day icl ! I really enjoyed 10 Things I Hate about You (Heath Ledger def looks better than the model guy) and all the food we had. You\u2019re a really cool senior in general, and lwk locked at basketball! Stay locked at college, and may you find many double rainbows after canceled practices in the future!<\/p>\n

To Jade Go, I will you a ton of snacks. Genuinely, you\u2019ve been an amazing event head, and your snacks are always so good. I feel kinda bad for stealing your food all the time, and I promise I\u2019ll pay you back (probably) someday (hopefully). Aside from that, I remember competing with you in my sophomore year, and I\u2019ve really looked up to you in A&P and seen you as more of a leader than yourself. Please don\u2019t sell yourself short, and remember how many people care about you. I know you\u2019ll become the youngest doctor in the world or something like that one day!<\/p>\n

To Sonya Patel, I will you a spoonful of cinnamon. The cinnamon challenge and second mod Tuesdays are core memories of my IMSA experience. Aside from that, walking around with you and Adi during riddle, making cutouts for senior night, and stealing your speakers for every event (Thanks btw ) have been super fun, and I truly believe you are one of the most involved people with having fun and keeping campus fun! Keep being cool sonion!
\nTo Charlotte Paquette: I will you Jawn, Frank & many bits for future weeks. Even though it\u2019s senior year, I\u2019ve always thought of you as those who are always doing work (Even if it\u2019s a bit late) and still try. I can see it now. Ea-Nasir, 23 billion chickens & many, many dying ants were all fun to write about and brainstorm with you. You\u2019ve been a great friend, and I\u2019m glad we got to share so many esoteric inside jokes! Thank you, Charlotte, for being one of the top ten seniors oat and stay gleg in college! <\/p>\n

To the Science Olympiad captains, Jonathan Hanjojo, Vivienne Uenuma, and Andrew Zhu, I will you first at state and Cornelius. You guys are the real ones and carried us all the way. Nathan, you are the real build boyo of all time, and have god-tier networking skills somehow. Vivienne, I hope you get all the printing access in the world at UIUC. I remember the struggles with printing, and you deserve better. Andrew, I\u2019ve always remembered how locked you were in Chemistry. The event is kinda cooked now, but we\u2019ll do our best to save it. Good luck to my fellow seniors in your future endeavors. Much love, and I hope to see you guys at state next year (Now that I\u2019m not a captain, maybe Cornelius can come back, trust!<\/p>\n

To Aditya Tiwari, I will you 100 million coins in Skyblock. I really love your personality and how much you contribute to the general fun and excitement of this community. The 101 things to do before graduation, all hall riddle (even though that never happened), and everything else we\u2019ve talked about bring a smile to my face whenever I think of them. It pains me that we never got to hop on Skyblock this year, so we\u2019ve gotta run it sometime this summer! <\/p>\n

To Katherine Jiang, I will you boba from 9bar. You were one of the first seniors I met on campus, and your energy is infectious! I remember playing cards with you in 01 last year and talking about everything with you and Hari. Other than that, I inherited a lot from you as a Scioly captain. Codebusters, Cornelius, and a one-year timespan. Even though I wasn\u2019t the best, I hope I made you proud! Keep being yourself even in college!<\/p>\n

To my C wing Seniors, I will Saroj Chilakuri a new mouse. Seeing you and talking with you in the wing has been fun, and you\u2019re one of the most generous people I know. I\u2019m glad I got to live with you and steal lots of root beer from you! I will Angel a loudspeaker for any future endeavors. The slam poetry you delivered during Casa was the most powerful piece of art I\u2019ve had the honor of hearing. You\u2019ve been there for everything, and I can\u2019t tell you enough how much I appreciate it. I will Griffin Sharp a ton of Love\u2019s food. I still remember all the free salads and yogurts you blessed us with, and that genuinely kept me fed through cold nights when Lex sucked. You\u2019re an amazingly positive guy, and your smile makes me a bit happier whenever I see you roaming around IMSA! I will Ari Bajaj a sheep in wolf\u2019s clothing. That night we spent drawing was a lot of fun for me, and I\u2019m glad I was able to help. I hope you keep drawing and remember to give me the food you promised me! To all my kings (and my queen Victor), I appreciate you guys more than you can know, and hope you all the best as you go from the oldest and wisest to the youngest!<\/p>\n

To Kayleen Yoo, I will you some gnarly fried chicken. I think the first time I ever interacted with you was in my sophomore year when you came to get snacks from me after 10 check. Anyways, you\u2019ve always been super tough when you\u2019re dancing, and lwk inspired me to dance more in all the culture shows! Aside from that, I don\u2019t know how we keep ending up in the same group for Spanish assignments, but it\u2019s been a lot of fun trying to finish everything last-minute since we\u2019re always (not) locked for that class. I think that photo by the flowers is the gnarliest photo I\u2019ve taken at IMSA (other than Bfriend), and I\u2019m glad I got to become better friends with you this year!<\/p>\n

To Candy Baldensambu, I will you many architecture internships. You\u2019re a very eccentric person with a lot of energy, which I respect a lot! You have some of the coolest art pieces and great cardboard-cutting skills, which I plan on honoring by making many life-sized cardboard cutouts for future events (Pls slide website link )! I know you\u2019ll become a great architect one day, and I\u2019m excited to see what kind of buildings you cook up for everyone to see!<\/p>\n

To the Seniors of Spanish V, I will you all lots of Zafa to counter the Fuku. Even though class was a pain, it was always fun to mess around on projects. I’m thankful to have been in a class with such chill people. Even though it hasn\u2019t happened yet, I\u2019m sure our play will turn out great, and we\u2019ll have a lot of fun (hopefully) while making it! Thank you for making 8th mod group projects bearable! <\/p>\n

To Ethan Hunt, I will you plane tickets to LA. One of my favorite memories from sophomore year was seeing you do a nasty flip into the splits onstage during karaoke for CLASH. That was pretty auraful of you, and getting to know you better has been a ton of fun! You have so much positive energy and charisma that make it easy to talk to you! Best wishes to you in all your future endeavors!<\/p>\n

To the squadron, I will Eleanor Hasty all the grass in the world. I think you\u2019re pretty cool, and I\u2019m glad I got to know you and watch you look for SIR plants in your big book of bio! Don\u2019t forget Juju and me when you become a cool freshman at college!! I will Mason Pattanaik a pile of crowns. To this day, I still think your signature is so auraful, and I love it a ton. Have tons of fun in college and don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll be here to annoy Juliene in your stead ! I will Laura Pepe a light that looks like the moon. You\u2019re really nonchalant and locked in and cool and stuff! I remember that one time we were in the 03 study room, dying hair, and it was pretty chill eating my salad and (not) doing work! I will Eliza many good stories on AO3. Digi Lit is so funny with you, and I\u2019m glad we were able to mess around so much! Thanks for putting me inside of Tomodachi Life, pls make sure my lil guy doesn\u2019t die ! You guys are all super cool, and I will keep bothering Juliene ever after you guys are gone!!!<\/p>\n

\nHariharan Ananthakrishnan<\/b><\/p>\n

To Mike Anderson, I will you more energy drinks, logs of wood to chop, and all the gadgets that will make you an amazing engineer. Keep up the hard work! I\u2019ve seen your messages during your compusci grind (don\u2019t ask me why I was also up then), and I know how dedicated you are. You\u2019ll do great no matter what happens, and I\u2019ve really enjoyed our conversations about random stuff, be it me showing you reels while you were driving, or talking about friends (and teachers who must not be named) from Neuqua, or even just making fun of Advait for his spelling. Good luck! And, send some reels my way please\u2026<\/p>\n

To Arya Biss, I will you a brain with automatic database-level knowledge of every politician in history. You\u2019ve been a really entertaining Quizbowl co-captain, and I\u2019m glad that I got to play alongside you during your time here. Take care!<\/p>\n

To Haydn Chan, aka Quant Chan, I will you to stop randomly inviting me to 5-stack on CS2 with you. Please stop. Jokes aside, however, thank you for being such an entertaining and awesome friend to me. I\u2019ve shared lots of fun moments with you, whether it be my sitting in on AdTop, or playing Putt Party on vc past midnight, or constantly making \u201cI hardly know her!\u201d jokes. Keep on working out, being absolutely cracked at math, and having fun. Don\u2019t forget me when you get to Jane Street!<\/p>\n

To Saroj Chilakuri, I will you an infinite supply of fun and entertaining games that you will never get bored of. I remember going on walks with you during first semester last year, and the funny moments we shared are something I will never forget. Even walking down the halls and saying \u201cHi ts!\u201d every time we see each other, or randomly walking up to you and asking about what niche game you\u2019re playing, every interaction we have is something that I\u2019ve cherished. Stay in touch!!<\/p>\n

To Victor Fernandes, I will you an 8-ball that, whenever you shake, gives you some positive affirmations. The struggle is real, and I know how rough it\u2019s been lately. I just want you to know and understand that you\u2019re enough, and that it\u2019s going to be okay. You work so hard that not only is it bound to pay off, it\u2019ll pay off tenfold. Keep up the hard work, keep pushing, keep believing, and reach out to me whenever you need something. I\u2019m so happy we got to know each other and do fun things together (Cello! Walks! Caffeine!), and I hope we stay in touch after IMSA. Good luck, you got this!<\/p>\n

To Ven Gogineni, I will you a fun time in London (has that even happened before\u2026), where you can investigate your interests for however long you want to. Seriously, though, you\u2019re one of the first IMSA people I met, and you\u2019ve been both someone I can look up to and expect to give me great advice, as well as someone I can goof around with and do god knows what. I know how much passion you have, and I truly believe you\u2019ll make great use of it. Also\u2026 I think it\u2019s time you control what reels you like\u2026 stay in touch though! I believe in you :)<\/p>\n

To Sumaer Gupta, I will you a textbook filled to the brim with \u201cPOV: Obama if he was [insert random object here]\u201d memes. I know we haven\u2019t really had that many in-depth conversations before, but I\u2019ve really enjoyed all the little interactions we have every now and then. Please take care, stay in touch with me, and send me reels :). <\/p>\n

To Tony Han, I will you a functional sleep schedule. Like seriously. You need it. A LOT. I also will you a to-do list to hopefully help you stay on top of things. I know it\u2019s been hard and it may feel really rough more often than not, but I still believe in you a lot. All it takes is a few steps for it to become a habit, and I know you\u2019re more than qualified to make good choices and decisions to help you prosper. Also, you\u2019ve been a great quizbowl buddy as well, and even if you don\u2019t play in college, I\u2019m still grateful that I got to play with you at IMSA. Also, don\u2019t let the overarching math lords take over your life, there\u2019s a lot to experience! Stay safe, and talk to me whenever. <\/p>\n

To Jeev Hora, I will you an Instagram feed that does not incriminate you to an insane extent. Those reels are lowkey quality sometimes, but uh it might not be the best decision to like all of them\u2026 you could send them to me though, I always welcome some new reels :D. I\u2019d also like to thank you for being an amazing quizbowl team captain. I know how much you value this activity and how much time you dedicate towards it, and I\u2019ll be happy even if I reach a level at least somewhat close to it. You\u2019ve honestly been a role model, and it\u2019s been great playing alongside you, witnessing you get some sick powers and pulls to win us so many games. Experiencing the glory of OOP and the amazing shenanigans that went along with it made my day better so many times, and it was truly jawdropping to see what you and your rain-noises would do each day. Good luck at UIUC! You\u2019ll have a lot of fun there, I\u2019m sure, but stay in touch with me. <\/p>\n

To Aimanohi and Grace, I will you to send me amazing anime and manga recs whenever I ask for them, and to continue exploring the medium to discover new, amazing things. You guys have made Anime club such an amazing experience for me, and I\u2019m really grateful I got to be a part of this year\u2019s board. Sonit and I will have to work really hard to even try to come close to what you guys did, but hopefully we\u2019ll make it work. Wish us luck, and stay in touch! <\/p>\n

To the greatest big sib of all time, Jade Go, I will you the most high quality 3D printer created, a catalog of all the Russian literature in history, and a copy of \u201cSemantics\u201d by John Saeed. And a Choso plushie. When I was in waitpool limbo the summer before sophomore year, it was honestly you who was keeping me sane. And I\u2019ll be forever grateful for that. Furthermore, you\u2019re one of the coolest people I\u2019ve ever met, with your fascination for things I could never get into, the passion you carry to pursue those things, and above all, the ability to help others find their way. Never lose that part of you, as it\u2019s what makes you you. There have been so many times that you\u2019ve been there for me as a big sib, and I really appreciate that. From just regular interactions to quizbowl to science olympiad, it\u2019s been great having you as someone I can talk to about anything. I do want you to get some sleep though\u2026 not only do you need it, after these three years, you definitely deserve it. And, I\u2019m so very proud of you for pushing yourself so hard as well. Doing all of this at your very best, especially as a supershmen (ur so young wtf), is something you should be proud of yourself for as well. If you need anything at all, let me know and I\u2019ll be there! Use this summer to refresh as well, you deserve it. Stay in touch, goat!<\/p>\n

To Katherine Jiang, I will you F1 tickets to the Austin Grand Prix; maybe then you can meet Kimi. It\u2019s been great getting to know you since sophomore year, especially when I was in 01 and didn\u2019t really know many people, so I\u2019ll always be grateful for those study sessions in hall commons or random walks with no real purpose. Moreover, as my Earth and Space partner in Science Olympiad, it was really fun learning about random Astrophysics equations or identifying fossils together, and I genuinely enjoyed all the competitions we were partners for last year. Even though it didn\u2019t really happen this year, I still used what I learned previously to try and work towards success, which I\u2019ll always be grateful to you for. Also, ease up on the caffeine this summer please, it really does get to a point\u2026 stay in touch though, and good luck!<\/p>\n

To Maneth Perera, I will you to hop on Entry Point whenever you can this summer, and we can run Ironman together. You\u2019re the first IMSA student I really got to like actually know, and I\u2019ve always been really thankful that it was you. Whether it was you reviewing one of my final projects during freshman year while you were a sophomore, or playing Roblox with me over that summer, there\u2019s been no shortage of generational moments we\u2019ve had together (dual fire alarm in 05 that one time last year\u2026). You\u2019ve also been someone I can talk to about lots of things both serious and funny, and having you as my RSL this year has been genuinely so fun. Also, thank you for the Frescas! They\u2019ve saved my night a couple of times, and with the amount of people that run to you asking for them, I guess I should will you an eternal Fresca supply. Please keep in touch with me, I enjoy talking to you a lot! Good luck at UIUC, keep me updated on whatever fun textbook you\u2019re reading, and once again, hop on Entry Point :D. <\/p>\n

To the legendary 05 A-wing quad (Roy Wang, Jacob Plotnick, Drew Wang, Raj Patel), I will all of you to continue being amazingly fun and supportive people, and I will you guys to not stress too much in college (all you guys need to stay safe bro). Thanks for letting me wander into the quad every now and then, for different reasons like Jacob giving me caffeine or Drew showing me his guitar skills, even just wandering in to talk to Roy about absolutely nothing important, the quad\u2019s lowkey one of my favorite spots on campus and I appreciate everything you guys have done for me. Jacob especially, please chill on the caffeine and get more sleep, and for the love of Magnus Carlsen don\u2019t fry yourself too much at UChicago. Raj, keep smiling and being a great, sincere person to everyone around you. Drew, keep improving at those guitar skills, I expect you to send me a sick cover of whatever song you\u2019re learning right now. Roy, if I ever end up hopping on Minecraft in the future, I expect you to carry me in Skyblock or anything else, you\u2019re such a goat.<\/p>\n

To my chess team Aaravs, both Shah and Lala, I will you guys to stay in touch and absolutely demolish me in any time control every now and then (or\u2026 get demolished, hopefully). Stay in touch! After meeting you guys at the Hinsdale Central tournament in 2023, I\u2019ve had so much fun getting to know you guys over these past 2 years, going to tournaments, goofing off in the hotel rooms, and making amazing jokes on the bus rides there and back, and ESPECIALLY the dinners at Indian Tadka. I\u2019ll never forget how you guys made chess team feel like a second family, and I know both of you guys will go on to do amazing things in the future. Good luck, and thank you!<\/p>\n

To Nathan Handjojo, I will you many functioning robots and automations in the future, and a prototype flying car when you get around to making one. My tiny Scioly captain, you\u2019ve been a great help and person throughout these last 2 years and I\u2019m really happy I\u2019ve gotten to know you. Keep improving at your balisong tricks, mayyybbee stop playing too many games during classes, and stay in touch!<\/p>\n

To Aditya Tiwari, I will you an extensive Michel Foucault collection, I will you to never stop your pursuit for knowledge and everything you find interesting, and I will you to never stop being yourself. Since meeting you, I\u2019ve been inspired to try to have some element of serendipity in my life, take a few pages out of your book, and explore what I truly find interesting. I admire you for everything you do, how truly interested you are in whatever you do, and the genuine happiness you get out of pursuing them. I\u2019m so proud of you for everything you\u2019ve done, and I know with certainty that you\u2019ll do great things in the future. You\u2019ll get another look at this through the card I wrote you for programming, but you\u2019ve truly been such a driving force and inspiration for so many people on campus, and the impact that has on them in the long run is something to be proud of. I\u2019m honored that I\u2019ve gotten to know someone as cool as you through regular interactions, doing random stuff in your room (thank you for the tiramisu!), SpecFic together, and staying in touch with you would be absolutely wonderful. Take care of yourself! I know it gets hard at times, but you\u2019ll get through it and come out stronger. Stay safe, and please keep in touch.<\/p>\n

\nTo Avi Samy and Dhivija Challa, I will you new erasers since I took yours.
\nTo Ryan Kim, I will you a new Spurs jersey and our imminent Premier League title. Seriously, I wasn’t expecting to meet another Spurs fan at IMSA, but I’m glad that I did. Thanks for your advice and for being a good friend, I wish you the best at NU.
\nTo Axel Aguilar, I will you a roster spot in college. When I came to IMSA I was skeptical of the soccer team, but your following positivity and passion has really helped me settle in here. You’re an inspiration to me and I’m glad that I met you.

\nTo Eric Zhou, I will you a new gaming laptop and a hockey stick, in case you break yours over your knee or something cool like that.

Thank you for being the chill guy that you are, and I hope that your future plans all work out for you.
\nTo Noah David, I will you a Minecraft speed run PR. Thank you for entertaining all my delusional 1 am hot takes and for helping me ragebait Andrew. I’ve never met someone more passionate about robotics than you, and I will you lots of success at WPI.
\nTo Vishnu Vijay, I will you Benjamin Charly’s ID mysteriously placed somewhere in your dorm room and someone to spray water at you to see how you like it. In seriousness though, being friends with you has made my junior year way more fun. You’re the most talented artist I’ve met, and on top of that you’re really smart. I know that you’ll be very successful and make a lot of new friends at Yale. Thank you for making school fun, being friends with you has helped me meet and be closer with a lot of new people.
\nTo Deen Kareem, I will you a secret stash of MacBooks.
\nTo Izen Wong, I will you a 50-count McDonald’s McNuggets. Thank you for being super friendly and chill. I think it’s rare to finds someone with your natural curiosity, and I wish you all the best with your future endeavors.
\nTo ASIA (Jessica, Eric, and Helen) I will you all a new community of people in college that make you feel as welcome as you did for me when I first arrived at IMSA as a sophomore. Being on ASIA is genuinely one of the best parts of my IMSA experience, and I\u2019m so grateful to be a part of it and to have met you all. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors!
\nTo Dhivija Challa and Avi Samy, I will you utter despair when you open up your pencil pouches on the first day of college and find that, indubitably, I have stolen your eraser for good. Thanks for letting me sit at your MVC table and for the many granola bars. Knowing you guys this semester has been a lot of fun, and I hope that you find success (and new stationery) in college!
\nTo Drew Wang, I will you an abstract algebra class in college. You\u2019re one of the most chill guys I know and I\u2019m glad that we met way back in Marshall\u2019s French class.
\nTo Rakshan Chandrasekhar, I will you a working tablet. It was fun being friends with you this past semester, even if VEX robotics is inferior to FTC. Thanks for making Creative Writing more fun.<\/p>\n

To Tianqing, I will you K-pop albums. I wish I could\u2019ve met you earlier. The way I genuinely love you cannot be matched. I don’t think I’ve ever had more fun than I did in Legends Modern. The way we connected, I can’t explain. I don\u2019t know who else will goon around with me about K-pop, C-dramas, and dance after you graduate. I\u2019ll miss all of times we\u2019d just gossip until practice or ten check and I\u2019ll forever treasure all of our backstage pics. If you forget me in college, I will hunt you down. Just being around you always put a smile on my face. Good luck at UIUC and I will meet you there!<\/p>\n

To Kayleen, I will you Jungwon. I am so so so so so thankful that housing cannot do their job properly because if they did, I wouldn’t have met you. It’s crazy to think that we’ve only really been talking for a year and a half now. We started with talking through the wall because y’all were loud and Kyleigh was sleeping and now you guys are graduating. You’re amazing, and a gooner and have fallen asleep in every place possible in this campus twice. You’re funny, an amazing dancer, and I hope good luck follows you everywhere.<\/p>\n

To Aimanohi, I will you all of my smoothest dance moves. No matter how much you scold me to be sharp and participate in Clash, I love you anyways. You have been such a mentor figure both in dance and in life. Half the time I talk to you, I wonder if you’re 17 or 70. Starting from African in my sophomore year, you were the reason I wanted to start taking dance seriously. Working with you for As\u00e9 Modern and African was so much fun. I promise not to let Do Touch My Hair die and I will motivate Skylar for you. You’re basically my twin and I’ll miss you.<\/p>\n

To Amada, I will you 40 inch bussdown curls. I know I can always rely on you for anything. I especially relied on you for African by putting you in all of the songs, but you showed up for me and I’m so grateful for that. I never need to be serious around you and we can just joke around and spam dances. Never lose that whimsical side of you.<\/p>\n

To Cindy, I will you the ability to always escape from Frenchie. Your crashouts during junior year were genuinely unmatched, but you finally made it. I know you’ve been ready to graduate since the womb, I think you’re hilarious and I wish you all the best in college.<\/p>\n

To Katherine, I will you peace. I know this year’s been really rough on you, but I’m really proud that you made it this far. Thank you for always being there and having such an interesting life. I could listen to you rant all day. Thank you for always feeding me. I will never forget all the late nights that we’d gossip in you and Kayleen’s room and steal from your Nerds Gummy Cluster. I can guarantee that you will have 1000 times more fun in college. I genuinely love you and will always love you.<\/p>\n

To Megan, I will you no more Creative Writing assignments. In general, you’ve always been more of Kyliegh’s friend than my friend. However, I appreciate you for being there and making us the subject of your creative writing assignments.<\/p>\n

To Teah, I will you the best. Even though I don’t know much about you, you’re always happy to see me and I wish you the best in life.<\/p>\n

To Mahima, I will you an internal clock. Even though you’re chronically late, thank you for making Diwali Modern what it was and for being next to me through all of the late practices.<\/p>\n

To Nidhi, I will you a clear throat. I didn’t get to learn too much about you. the few conversations that we have had, I really enjoyed them and I loved being on the same wavelength with you during G-Friend for Night Market. Never lose that voice.<\/p>\n

To the Seniors in African, I will you the ability to lock in. Some of y’all really ticked me off (you know who you are). In the end, we pulled through and it looked good. Good luck in the future.<\/p>\n

To Amelia Kinney, I will you lots of sleep and good food options in college. I\u2019m glad that you were my roommate this year. I remember when we first met, I was missing a meeting while wondering when you would move in. Since the very beginning of the year, we have become quite close. I enjoyed watching the Apothecary Diaries and Cherry Magic, and See your Love with you. You made all those days memorable, and sometimes I wish that you didn\u2019t graduate so we\u2019d be able to still hang out like that (I actually hope you do graduate, it\u2019d be a bit selfish to keep you here). I remember taste-testing your food sometimes and taking things that were too spicy for you (weakling). I remember making homemade carrot pudding for you and talking a lot about the most random things, from the genders that the elements on the periodic table would be to our favorite shows. One of my favorite memories of us was January 20, when our P-Tac broke down, and it was 12:30 am in the morning, with snow outside. The room temperature was in the high 50\u2019s, and you took out your hair dryer to heat the room (spoiler, it didn\u2019t work much). We were laughing and shivering in the cold. I don\u2019t think I can ever forget that night. There are so many memories like this I have with you, and I hope I never forget them (especially the list of your unhinged quotes). Residential life is a huge part of IMSA, and I\u2019m so thankful that I had such a fun roommate. You really made me happy, even on nights I felt a bit miserable. Seriously, thank you so much. I hope you have fun in college, get all that sleep (we both know how many all-nighters and late nights you\u2019ve pulled this year), and do great. I hope we can keep in touch, and still be friends after you graduate. Have fun at Agustana, and never stop being chaotic! <\/p>\n

To Eric Lee, Rishima Mukherjee, Molly Federici, my speech captains, I will you guys a cool pen and notebook so you can write down all the smart thoughts in your brains. Speech was a great experience, and I enjoyed going to tournaments with the group. I hope you all have a fun and relaxing summer. It was great knowing you all, and good luck for college!<\/p>\n

To Aparna Sadhanagiri, Rishima Mukherjee, Muskaan Kapur and Nitya Dixit, I will you all fun dance opportunities. It was a pleasure to learn choreography from you all for Diwali, and I quite enjoyed the experience. The choreography was amazing, the outfits were great, and I loved rehearsals and the actual performance. Thank you for being my choreographers this year, and I hope you have fun in college!<\/p>\n

To the Seniors in my Hall and Wing, 1501 A wing, I will you all good cleaning supplies for your future housing. It was a fun experience living with everyone here. I remember participating in musical bingo, fun parties, wing wars, and clash of the halls with everyone. I\u2019m glad I could be a part of this hall and have fun with all the residential activities we did this year. I hope you have a great time at college!<\/p>\n

Lastly, to any seniors I missed, I will you all lots of sleep and good food (I know Lexington was not the best, to say the least). Thank you for being students I could look up to. You all are amazing people, and I know you\u2019ll do great things in your own field(s). I hope you do well in the future and have a great college experience. Happy graduation, Class of 2026!<\/p>\n
