FROM THE SENIORS’ DESK

‘Post’ seniors reminisce on time in Athens, say thank you

A

lot has happened in the past four years.

In September 2014, when many of us were freshmen, we watched as the Student Senate president took the “blood bucket challenge” to ask OU to divest from Israel. Later that year, many of us woke up to the news that a fire had broken out on West Union Street, and some reporters and photographers jumped from their beds and ran to report on the flames. Many protests broke out during the 2014-15 academic year: the bat rally, protests against tuition hikes and even a rally against rallying. In March 2015, Ohio women’s basketball played in the NCAA Tournament in Tempe, Arizona.

As freshmen, we ate at the old Boyd Dining Hall, which looked like a cafeteria straight out of an ’80s movie. But, Boyd Grab ‘n Go was the best option around. We had FreezeFest in February 2015, and we saw Anna searching for Elsa in the midst of it.

As seniors, we had the chance to see the football team play in the Bahamas, a new OU president and the Hocking River flood across Athens.

We’re grateful that we had the chance to attend OU and learn more about Athens with our fellow Post staff members and The Post readers. Actually, we have a quite a bit we’re thankful for.

We appreciate the people who work in the Mahn Center for Archives and Special Collections and help us with Double Takes and research. We’re also grateful for Alden being open 24/5.

Thank you to the LGBT Center for doing a safe zone, for writing a column and for being great consistent sources for culture staff. And thank you to all of the fans

of random TV shows and movies such as Bring It On, Supernatural and Grey’s Anatomy for reading our blogs religiously.

Thank you to all of our roommates who dealt with us coming in at obscene hours, for sometimes never being home and for listening to us talk about journalism too much. And thanks to those who brought snacks to the newsroom, bought us cookies and hung out with us when we needed a break.

Shout out to fellow student newsrooms throughout the country, including others here in Athens. We are thankful for that support system. Also, thank you to the custodians who stop by our newsroom and help to keep it clean. You all are much appreciated.

And finally, thank you to all The Post alumni who taught us and continue to support us even though they are no longer on campus. The Post would not be the same without you.

We have had a great four years, and though we’re leaving, we’re excited what to see what The Post does next.
