2C / GRADUATION GUIDE / THURSDAY, MAY 6, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM Editor's note Wow. At 3:20 p.m. today I will be done with my last class at The University of Kansas. I'm sure today will be as surreal for many of you. Not that I thought this day wouldn't come — I just can't believe the best four years of my life are already over. If you're one of the lucky ones who still has a few years to go, I can't emphasize this enough: Cherish. Every. Minute. Think of the bad with the good and don't forget a second of it. Oh sure, I could lament about how freshman year seems like it was just yesterday, but I'll spare you (even though it's true). After four years here, I've built myself quite the comfortable little niche in this big mess of people and I'll admit I don't really want to leave. BY MICHELLE SPREHE Yeah, I guess starting a new life is exciting. I guess finally earning more than a few thousand dollars a year would be nice. I wouldn't be able to do either without the education I received here. I think every school I've gone to is the best — from elementary school to high school and college is no different. I will always go getoosebums when I hear the Rock Chalk Chant and I can't wait to find a KU Alumni bar in whatever city I move to after 1 graduate. Table of contents For some of you, today may just be a small milestone you hit before going on to graduate school or law school like in the story on page 12C. While some of you may be the first in your family to graduate from the University, others continue a legacy of Jayhawk generations like in the story on page 12C. Either way, you'll want to make sure you stand out from the thousands of other black-robed students walking down the hill — see what others have done in the story on page 11C. Last words of advice for graduates on the big day — Walk slowly. Take lots of pictures. Don't be so drunk that you won't remember walking through the Campanile. Finally, take a deep breath and commend yourself on a job well-done. 3 PEACE CORPS 4-10 GRADUATE NAMES STANDING OUT LOANS LAW SCHOOL KU LEGACIES FRIDAY, MAY 14 1 to 2 p.m. School of Social Welfare recognition for bachelor's of social welfare candidates.
