Hiya, Scoll!

I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am that we met three years ago in that dusty corner of Shaffer.

Cheers,

Will

P.S. You also make the best silly faces and I’m SUPER jealous of that.

Thanks for keeping me up at night. That way I haven't missed any second of this amazing year!

Love,

Dad

Dear Julie Bug,

You are my partner in crime. Collaborating with you is the best, and the work we do together is my favorite to date. I love you so much, pretty girl.

Grandma Thelma—

I just realized our ages are exactly 70 years apart. If I'm given another 70 years myself, I hope I'm able to accomplish as much with them as you have. Happy 97th birthday!

Love,

Tyler

Ryan & Noel,

Thank you for being amazing roommates. Your friendships have manifested into a real brotherhood. Living in New York would not be the same without you guys. Thank you for the laughs, motivation, support, and cleaning up of dishes. Thank you, brothas!

Hi Bae,

Thanks for always loving me and making me chicken nuggets. You are so patient with me and great at always picking places to eat when I can’t decide. I appreciate you always letting me watch TV before bed, even when you’re tired!

Love,

Your significant otter

I'm thankful because I never had someone love me the way that she does.

Dear Fam,

It has certainly been an adventurous last few years!

Together, we persevere through packing for weekend trips like we are the first settlers of the Wild West, dinners that end up looking like a food fight in a freshman dorm, and the inability to make it through a full episode of TV sans a scream of “monsters in the room!”

As Tupac Shakur once said, “You are appreciated.”

Xoxo,

Mark (aka Dada)

To my sister — thank you for being my biggest inspiration... by putting me to shame with your amazing adulting skills (Yaaass to that new job!) Keep slayin, girl!

Thank you,

Dave

Dear Yang Wu,

You were a huge inspiration to me this year. You’ve had an insane year packed with consecutive music festival weekends for entire month spans, Burning Man, and now you’re off to see the world. You’ve showed not only me, but all of our friends what is possible in this life if you just let go and follow your joy. Be safe out there, but not too safe.

—Ty
