Legacy ending on good note

Creating the paper creates memories, and with memories come great relationships. Second semester freshman year, Charlie Specht saved my life after I panicked about writing a story.
Second semester sophomore year, I became friends with one of my current roommates whom I can't imagine living without now.
Second semester junior year I became the leader, and, darn, was I scared. I didn't think I could do it. But thank God I had enough people around pushing me and picking me up if I fell, and I'd like to say thank you a million times over to all of them.
Thank God I had Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' every Wednesday night, just when the time was right.
Thank God I had all The BV love from my first semester to now, and I know the love won't stop here.
Not being required to come to The BV every Wednesday will probably freak me out for a while. But I will still come, not because I have to but because I would love to. I know those taking over are more than capable to carry on The BV tradition.
And it's bittersweet to leave the head honcho's office, but I know the future is brighter than ever, and even years from now when I'm miles from Bonaventure, a piece of my heart will still be on this campus and near this office where so many friendships began and so much love thrived.
