Dear Senior Taylor,
Well, congrats, you’ve made it this far. You’ve survived all of the late nights (even though everyone knows your bedtime is 9:00). You’ve hopefully learned by now that procrastination never gets the grade you want (even if it sounds like a good idea at the time). I hope you’re still playing lacrosse. Do you still look confused every time the referee blows a whistle? If the first year of college is any indication of the rest, you have made some great memories with some great people. I hope you cherish these memories and friends as you start this next chapter in your life.
Speaking of this “new chapter”, you will soon be a graduate of Longwood University. I hope the plan is still to get your Master’s (if not, that’s cool too). I hope if you are not getting your Master’s its because you already have a job (not because you’re being lazy). Either way, I’m sure whatever you have in store for your post-graduation life will be fantastic. I hope that you will continue to set goals and achieve them. I wish you much success in navigating your future. Always remember the wise words of Paige Rollins from the freshman Princeps recognition: “I am now successfully adulting by living in my own house and ordering pizza to it two times a week.” I hope you are that successful in life.
Love,
Freshman Taylor
