In many respects a graduation marks an end to a place, a vocation and a group of people in the graduates' life. In time leading up to graduation, we spend an indeterminate amount of time in limbo. To all the questions of "where are you going and what are you doing," we tersely reply "something." For myself, the answer was "grad school some where." Probably every graduating senior applying for a post- . . : r . m r - r 1 graQuaiion raiiifp graduate degree or for future employment knows the drill: check mail twice daily, email frequently and the phone messages every night. Some of us experienced less anxiety than others. But all of us knew something. At this time next year, most of us will not be in Newberg, and none of us will be undergraduates at George Fox University. College at George Fox is more than just brick buildings and 7:40 classes. It is a community of people and a lifestyle of "stu dent." Graduation means that this unique experience is at an end. I remember my first day at Fox when I ran into a familiar face. I had talked to him the year before when we were both pre view students, and now, lost in a crowd, I welcomed the chance to talk to someone I'd seen before. Little did I know that the first person I talked to would end up being one of my best friends, and my roommate for two years. But now, after many great experiences, graduation marks the start of "something" other than our current experience. Both of us are changing vocations, changing our current sta tus of "unmotivated, slacker, senior undergraduate" to that of "harried, always doing homework graduate student." (I admit that this may not seem to be as big of a vocational shift as mov ing from unmotivated slacker to accountant, or some such real world job. To those jumping off the high dive intothe slough of despond...! mean, the ocean of success, good luck to ya.) Both of us arc changing places, too. After much frantic checking of my mailbox, I am jumping across the pond to do graduate work in England, while my roommate, after rather the calmer checking of his mailbox, is jumping across the street to G R A D U A T E S O F 2 0 0 5 ; off-campus housing and a lengthy commute to the George Fox (Above left) Liz Clark in the NWC MAT program. But even though the relative distances between championship game, which the Lady pre-graduation and post-graduation are rather different, both B r u i n s w o n moves do represent a real change, not the least of which will be (Above right) Beth Klopfenstein and "different roommates. Matt Cox as Homecoming King and Much in our lives will be different after graduation; what we Queen 2005 do, where we do it and who we do it with. But one thing that does not have to change with graduation is our ft-iendships. I am MISTAKEN IDENTITY: often reminded of something a friend from Italy said about true (Right) Romeo Fuqua dancing his friendship: "It can be a day, or a lifetime, but friends can sit unforgettable Napoleon Dynamite down together like no time has passed." It is a great piece of dance at the Mr. Bruin pageant wisdom. Friendships can last regardless of geography, vocational change or all the things in life that move with time. My room mate will likely be the last person I see at George Fox, as well as the first. But this should not be seen as an end. Graduation changes many things. But despite the many dif ferent places next year will find everyone, it does not have to change our friendships.

Strangely enough, sleeping at least six hours a night does tend to keep you healthier. So does eating more than Cheetos and Ramen. Exercise is a good thing when defined as more than walking to and from classes. The freshman 15 is not a myth, although it's not a rule. Emily Dickenson's poems can be sung to the rune of GiUigan's Island. If you didn't learn this bit of trivia in high school, you probably learned it in an American Literature class here. Or, if you were scared of Bill JoUiff, your crazy next-door- neighbor lit major probably hummed it before tests. No matter what, someone in your study group will never be able to make any given day at any given time. It is always possible to finish all your schoolwork for a semes ter (barring any huge life difficulties) as long as you actually plan in advance and get loan requests in from the library on time. No one likes the smell of rotten broccoli—if you don't know the story, ask someone who lived in U-Hall 2001-2002.
