List #539: Reflections On a 10 Year Reunion

List #539: Reflections On a 10 Year Reunion

1. Good friends stay that way and it's good to see people even after a long while (and even people you didn't really know way back when can be interesting conversations)

2. I graduated with a lot of fascinating and truly interesting people that are doing all manner of awesome stuff now; it's humbling

3. Even though reunions are, in part about fundraising, ours seems driven by sincerity rather than greed

4. Carleton really is a non-pretentions, student-centric place, with fantastic faculty.

5. GU still rocks (even if we need help)

6. Old Roommates are good people too

7. Sometimes a Tent isn't so bad.

8. I'm pretty proud of my college: Proud to be a part of it, proud that it is part of me

9. I should've spent even more time in the library when I was there

10. I'm excited for 2016
