Mourning the lasts

S

peaking to you today as a columnist, I resent the new burden that comes with using this paper as a receptacle for my own words, instead of for my facts’ and my sources’ words, which I’ve merely clipped and juxtaposed as clever moderator since my first year here.

I don’t pretend my words now to be of service to you in any way because if I did, my name would be splattered across these caroline mcgeough pages more often than senior column now. And I don’t intend to separate myself from you because we’re not so different, or speak for you because we’re not so similar. The difference between us is that I’ve been challenged with the assignment of translating four years to 700 words, and you haven’t yet. Come graduation, someone will ask you to translate all of it (“So... how’d you like Duke?”), and you’ll be choked by the confines of adjectives, brevity, emotion, anxiety and the impatience of your little brother wishing you’d just shut up about college already, since he’s in high school and doesn’t know what you’re talking about anyway.

There was really no way of doing research for what I’ve written here, and I did try. Flipping idly through 1,619 Facebook photos, I found them to look largely the same—an index of nights that have evolved in much the

same way for four years, punctuated with the red sheen of solo cups and blurred by the incompetence of drunk cameramen. Dipping into my zipped archive of old term papers, I found them foreign and unreadable, archives from a time many short-term memories past. And punching my name into The Chronicle’s search bar—and no, I didn’t mean “carolina through”—to find my record of contributions here, I found them accounts of goings-on that no longer mattered, contextless and with impermanent significance.

People keep telling me to appreciate the lasts of college, but I don’t quite know how to live as if sucking the life out of each moment until it’s bone dry. It’s too difficult to assign meaning to the lasts of college, because there are countless parts of college so soaked with meaning from their repetition over these four years. Mourning the lasts requires a certainty I’m not yet prepared to offer that there will never be another: another afternoon brunch at the Nasher spent rambling, savoring and tallying drinks ingested the night before; another midterm paper submitted past deadline when your palms are sweating and you haven’t read the last third, or half of it; another time acknowledging the Chapel as you trot past, knowing that it’s part of something you’re a part of—and in that way, the graceful thing might even be yours.

But on graduation, our claim to ownership of the University ends, in large part—at least until you make a donation worth enough for a plaque with your name on it.

Even then, you’ll return here again, but only on certain

weekends and staying at certain hotels. However you may try, you can never quite do things the way you used to do them. You can’t ride the Shooters’ bull anymore without seeming a lecherous creep to the 18-to-22 set onlooking.

You’ll look at current students with skeptical regard, echoing that same old refrain that Duke isn’t as fun as it used to be.

As students here, each day is spent absorbing—letting facts, images, gossip, drinks, names and experiences soak in through our pores, mouths and ears. And then we wrench out all that we’ve soaked in when we’re told to, producing papers, opinions, albums and accounts of what the hell happened last night. What I’ll seek most, in graduating, is the chance to languish in the fullness of what I’ve soaked in, no longer spitting it up every day for a grade. What it is that I’ve soaked in is difficult to ascertain, more easily expressed in maxims that would sound trite if I weren’t more tactful about wording.

Leaving here, I’ll still remember to push up against my limits of experience and in so doing, find them; to feel pressed to meet the constant burdens accompanying privilege and expectation; to banish apathy and idleness; and to consider intellect limitless so long as it is maintained and cultivated. I owe thanks to all those who exerted their influence on me over these four years, however subtly or forcefully, who know who they are.

or some strange reason, I’ve always been obsessed with new beginnings, fresh starts. Ten years ago, as I prepared to enter junior high school, I packed away all of my elementary school memories— turning bright red whenever teachers called on me to read out loud, tripping over my own feet in gym class, getting looks of disapproval for wearing overly large sweaters with black leggings and white sneakers—and was deterrebecca wu mined to be a completely senior column new, and in some ways, better person.

As I walked through the foreign hallways of my new school, passing by a blur of excited seventh graders whom I would have the next six years to get to know, I buried an 11-year-old me. Despite some initial attempts to keep in touch with grade school friends, in a time when few of us had e-mail, these efforts fell through relatively quickly. Instead of feeling regret and sadness, however, a part of me felt oddly glad—relieved that I could thoroughly shed this unwanted image of an awkward, insecure Asian girl with poor fashion sense.

I was then equally excited about moving on from high school to college—eager to erase mistakes I had made in high school and begin with a clean slate at Duke. At this Gothic Wonderland, no one knew my name or anything about me.

Although this time around I was more successful in keeping in touch with old friends, doing so wasn’t easy because each and every one of my high school friends represented a period in which I had become so concerned with grades and extracurriculars that I lost sight of my ultimate goals in life. Instead of spending time with family and friends, I minimized dinnertime to 15 minutes so that I could return to homework, and on weekends, I woke up at 9 a.m. for a full day of extra

Rinse and repeat classes ranging from piano to math (like your stereotypical Asian).

When I first stepped onto campus, I thought that the next four years would be the perfect opportunity to begin anew, start afresh. I was more than ready to make a clean break from who I had become in high school.

As I stumbled my way through college and made perhaps even more mistakes in just one year than I did all throughout high school, I began to look forward to life after Duke—new beginnings after college. I was impatient, and having made so many flaws freshman year, I could not wait for college to end so that I could relocate to a new place and start again.

At some point in my senior year at Duke, however, the allure of a fresh start began to lose some of its appeal. Not only did it become clearer to me how difficult it is to really detach oneself from any connections one has to the past, but I began to question how and why I became so fixated on this idea.

In my last few weeks at Duke, I often find myself thinking about all of the mistakes I’ve made, as I often do whenever I am about to leave one place for another. But surprisingly, this time around, I also thought about the things that I’ve done right. I’m not sure what inspired this change— perhaps it is due to the kind words of professors and friends. In considering how I’ve grown here, however, I’m overtaken by a want to grasp at anything and everything around me so that I’ll remember my failures and how they led to small successes.

So thank you Duke (and

North Carolina) for giving me more people and memories—even if some were not my finest moments—to hold on to and treasure. Thank you for teaching me to slow down—to not hastily dismiss the past or pummel through the present. Mistakes are inevitable, and collecting baggage is not something to be ashamed of.

As the semester draws to a close and you begin packing the past year (or in the case of seniors, the past four years) into cardboard boxes, choosing to leave some items behind in trash rooms or even on the Main Quad, don’t be too quick to throw away the things that have shaped who you have become as you start the next chapter of your life.

Free Parking ited the jail on an investigative roll sophomore year.

During senior year, I watched my friends jockey for position, pass Go and collect law and medical school admissions, competitive jobs on Wall Street and unique plans for cooking school.

I knew my time was winding down.

Last Monday, when I finished with my senior thesis, I felt myself nearing the final corner of the board, with no idea when I’d roll again. But after a couple nights of rowdy celebration, I awoke groggy and confused to a 9 a.m. voicemail.

I finally heard the words I had been waiting for all year.

Chance. “We’d like to offer you a position.”

Pass Go. After processing it, I knew the pieces were returning to the box; life suddenly transformed into a game of decisions and results, not risk and chance.

After graduation my box will finally close, my family relieved that I’m finally passing along my childhood game. It will float until an eager junior comes home after the SATs and opens the box, constantly looking forward.

As students, it’s in our nature to be anxious about the future, but college is more than steps on the board to collect life goals. Though at times I felt myself waiting for my turn to happen, I realize now I’ve been playing through an

amazing college experience within these campus walls. I hadn’t been idling, I’d been landing on Free Parking.

Waiting is stressful; Free Parking is just the opposite.

Each day was a turn—my friends, fraternity brothers and peers all moving alongside me. The memories that I walk away with aren’t about the Chances at all, they’re about the time I spent here. From the early mornings at Tailgate to the late nights at Shooters, Duke gives its students Free Parking at every turn, and it doesn’t take much luck to land on it.

Finally passing Go has led to a whirlwind of lasts. My last LDOC, my last lunches at the Refectory, my last Monopoly money to bursar and this, my last story in The Chronicle.

Hours of reminiscing with my fraternity and friends have led to those last words we all try so hard to avoid.

“I’ll miss you.”

There’s no card for that.

So I leave you all my dice, my Chances and even my Community Chest, but all my hope lies in that you all will worry less and enjoy your Free Parking as much as I have in these four years.

rowing up, I loved Monopoly. Perhaps it predicted my future economics major, but in any case, the risks and chances of the game thrilled me. My doting sister would spitefully agree to play with me, knowing all too well the game can seem endless.

Then one day last week, I woke up a full grown-college senior. I listened to my messages and realized that my game was over.

It had begun the day I finished the SATs. The days zachary kazzaz went by for a month as I senior column waited for my turn to start.

When the College Board envelope came through the slot, I took the plunge. As I tore open the envelope and read the score, the game assembled and my piece moved forward alone, waiting.

Moving through the rest of high school was drawn out with few turns. When April 1st finally came, I again retreated to my room, locked the door and looked up one admissions decision after the next.

Chance. “We would like to congratulate you…”

Over the next few weeks the game seemingly ceased as I chose Duke. I thought my college acceptance meant I could pass Go. I was wrong. A couple of weeks later, the game started up in full force and persevered—each time waiting to see how the dice would fall. Waiting to see if I’d get into FOCUS, to discover where I’d live freshman year, to move onto East Campus and begin bleeding blue—and all that just before I arrived in Durham. Between each turn, I seemed to idle, motionless. The Chance cards, the chutes and ladders all continued through rush and through tenting. Everything had a deadline and everything was a process.

The other pieces, my friends and colleagues, filled the board, each one at a different place. Together, we stopped at railroad stations on the East Coast and across Europe finding ways to spend our Monopoly money. We even vis-
