We hate goodbyes


We hate goodbyes. But every year some percentage of Hooverites decide they want to graduate and move on into life - going to graduate school, earning six-figure salaries, getting married, playing video games without homework getting in the way. That's fine. (Sob!) We'll be okay. (Sniff.) Really. Can I have a tissue?

We'll miss all of our graduates. Send us postcards from the big time. We'll be right here.

Of course, some people leave a bigger hole when they leave. Like Caileigh. We did everything we possibly could to prevent her from graduating. But she steered around all the obstacles we put in her way.

Why did we love Caileigh? The obvious answer is: for her caileighness! Yeah, that's a word. Look it up! Of all the things we'll remember about Caileigh, perhaps the most memorable thing was the time she reversed the orbit of the earth to go back a week so Hooverites could have a second shot at all those Spring Quarter finals they messed up. Hurray Caileigh!
