DON’T LET THE SUN SET ON YOUR SUMMER! ENJOY THE MOMENT AND BASK IN THE GLOW.

I’m not even halfway through pursuing my undergraduate degree, so I’m no expert on college and I certainly have no idea what it will feel like to be a college graduate. I don’t claim to have any words of wisdom that will be meaningful to somebody about to graduate college, but in thinking about what I would want to hear if I was almost done, I decided to say this: college isn’t that great; there is no ‘experience’ and it isn’t the best time of your life.

I have to backtrack; I’m not going to sit here and bemoan the time I’ve had in college so far. There are some great things about it: I have met some of the best people I could ever dream of and we all live within walking distance of each other. I have loved some of the classes that I’ve taken, had intriguing and heated discussions, and yes, gone to some great parties. But there is a cultural idea that was thrust upon me for as long as I can remember is that college is some

sort of utopian summer camp where there are no rules. You can do keg stands every night and never get hungover, eat Top Ramen for every meal and still maintain the energy for those nightly keg stands. That’s just not the reality for me, and I think it’s probably not the reality for a lot of us.

Pushing the idea that there is one college experience for everyone is exclusionary and forces people to have impossibly unattainable expectations that they will certainly be let down from. For one thing, the majority of today’s college students are “nontraditional.� The fact that we still imagine college as this wild, ‘Animal House’-style romp is totally dismissive of the wide range of students that attend the University of Oregon, as well as other four-year institutions around the country. It also pushes high school students to believe that they have to attend a traditional four-year institution as freshmen to get the “experi-

ence,� when going to community college for two years and transferring to a four-year school for a bachelor’s degree is a way to save a serious amount of money. I’m glad that I had the opportunity to live in the dorms as a freshman, and some studies have shown that living in dorms, frequently seen as the epitome of the “college experience,� does actually improve academic performance (these studies were almost certainly cited by UO in order to justify their ridiculous new live-in requirement). But just because one doesn’t choose to live in the dorms, join a fraternity or go to parties every weekend, doesn’t mean that they didn’t go to college and learn a lot, both in and out of the classroom.

So if you are graduating this spring, congratulations, whether college was the best time of your life, the worst or was inconsequential. Hopefully no matter which one it was, your life will continue to get better from here. Because while frat parties and trashing Lake Shasta can be fun, they shouldn’t epitomize the college experience. And if you feel like you didn’t have this traditional college experience, your degree is just as valuable.

Hours: Daily 11-8 P.M. Address: 80854 Territorial Hwy., Eugene OR 97405 Phone number: (541) 685-5189

This family-owned winery opened its doors in 2015. Today it boasts more than 5,000 Pinot Noir vines sweeping across a southeastern hillside outside of Eugene. Abbelone uses only “traditional Burgundian methods� for preparing wine, according to its website. During the summer, the courtyard area is open to the public for wine tasting and, on occasion, live music.

This tasting room is tucked into the hills surrounding Eugene and requires a short drive up a gravel road with gorgeous views of the vineyard along the way. During the summer the property is known for having blooming, wild irises. The tasting room is designed like an Italian kitchen with a large patio open on warmer days. The Iris management takes a special interest in preserving the vineyard’s setting, stating on their website that they are “careful stewards of our land and protectors of our natural environment.�

Owned and operated by the Shown family, Brigadoon vineyard has been growing grapes since 1991, with the tasting room opening in 2011. The Shown family has a long tradition of making wine, first in California and now in Oregon. According to the Brigadoon website, “from soil preparation to planting and harvest, each member of our family takes an active part in the growth and development of our farm.� If you’re a dog lover, don’t miss out on meeting the family’s sweet golden retriever, Gracie.

In the summer, this winery lights up with live music on Friday nights and a welcoming atmosphere for families. The plot of land was bought and renamed Silvan Ridge in 1991 by Carolyn Chambers, who has since passed the winery along to her daughter. According to itswebsite, Silvan Ridge wines are meant to “express the nuance, grace, character and complexity the Willamette Valley is known for.� The selection of these wines is extensive, including the very popular Early Muscat.

With the price of college rising, people often wonder if the cost is worth a college degree. According to the Pew Research Center, student debt has doubled from the 1990s to the early 2010s. The Emerald asked each University of Oregon dean what the most important thing students should learn in college is and graduating seniors from each school and college what the most important thing they learned during their time her was, their answers revealed that the cost of college is paying for more than just a degree. Deans said that the most important things students should learn is gaining both professional and personal skills. Students revealed that the biggest lessons they learned in college often related to the life experiences they had, extracurriculars they were involved in, and lessons they learned.

COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

(Emerald Archives)

SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM

AND COMMUNICATIONS

The purpose of college is to find new opportunities and consider new possibilities. College gives students a rare opportunity to see beyond their circumstances of origin; to consider, for example, a career in psychology that they would have never imagined due to not having met a psychologist, to fully develop their scientific thinking skills to the point that they become expert at weighing evidence and evaluating the quality of scientific research that has been used to generate such evidence, and to experience the joy of learning - about others, their practices, and beliefs. Of course, all of these examples are the result of my experience at college.

Ultimately, college, like all life experience, is personal, making a singular generalization about its purpose impossible. I do think that college makes a person better, and there are many ways to define that outcome.�

DEAN RANDY KAMPHAUS

The creative, media-led industries are becoming an increasingly important part of the global economy. They are also in constant flux.

That’s why, above all, our students need to be resilient and flexible, with the will and passion to continue learning new skills throughout their careers.�

The most important thing I learned at UO is that knowledge is infinite and I will learn something new every day. As a future teacher, I will learn from my students every day and use new knowledge to become the best teacher I can be.�

DEAN JUAN-CARLOS MOLLEDA

SAM DENHAM

The most important thing I learned in college is how to advocate for myself and others.�

I learned a couple of important things in college, one of them being to be flexible if things don’t always work out because there’s always another opportunity waiting. Also, realizing learning is continuous and continues inside and outside of the classroom.�

LUNDQUIST COLLEGE

OF BUSINESS College is the foundation to a lifelong journey of learning.

It’s about exploring, discovering and pursuing your true passions that will lead to a successful career and a successful life. Life can take you in amazing directions. If you’re poised to say ‘yes’ to opportunities that present themselves, you’ll turn your time in college into something really magical.”

DEAN SARAH NUTTER

The most important thing I learned at UO is that extra curriculars can end up being the most valuable and important thing you do. Clubs allow you to find like minded people and grow you more as a person and expand your practical knowledge so much more than a single class on the topic can do. As a member of the Warsaw Sports Business Club I have had my horizons broadened and joining the club was the best thing I did at UO.” JAMES BLACKWELL

SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE

AND ALLIED ARTS The most important thing students should learn in college is the ability to think creatively, critically, and independently.

No matter what you do in life, nothing surpasses the value of human thought and imagination.”

DEAN CHRISTOPH LINDNER

The most important thing I learned in college was to take classes that you think you might be interested in, because you might discover that your interests change. Another important thing I learned is to take classes with friends or meet new people in classes so you always have a study buddy or someone to fill you in, if you miss class. Getting involved in campus and getting an internship was the best decision I have made because it has given me real world experience while being a student. I’ve also learned it’s never too late to try something new or take that class you’ve always been wanting to take.”

ALANA VIEIRA

COLLEGE OF ARTS

AND SCIENCES

In survey after survey, employers say they want graduates who are resourceful problem-solvers—who know how to ask the right questions and correctly frame a problem, and then utilize analytical, research and collaborative skills to pursue solutions. Employers are impressed with those with an informed perspective and good judgment. Perhaps most important of all, they want good communicators. These are all hallmarks of a liberal arts education, and together comprise the most important thing that any student can learn. But these are not only job skills—these are life skills that will enrich students’ personal lives as partners, parents, citizens and members of their communities.”

DEAN ANDREW MARCUS

“Just because everyone does something one way, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a better way to do it.”

CONNOR WEINSTEIN

Hacks like not paying for book and instead using the library system to get my texts. There’s also a supply room on campus where students and faculty can get office supplies for free because they’ve been “donated” and are recycled out. I learned how to make ramen in a coffee pot and I took advantage of school events because they hand out free stuff and food.”

SCHOOL OF MUSIC

AND DANCE To think critically, reasonably, and unselfishly. To learn how to contribute to the world in a meaningful way regardless of the scale or size of such contribution. In other words, everything you do matters, and also, how to solve problems creatively.”

DEAN BRAD FOLEY

The most important thing I learned while at UO was how to turn every moment into a learning opportunity. I remember getting the advice of, ‘learn how to learn’ but I think it is much more important to learn how to apply that learning to every aspect of your life. An important aspect of my learning here has been influenced by the Dance Department, its faculty and the community of students that are there.

As a dancer, I have had the incredible challenge of learning with my mind and my body. There is a deep deep level of exploration and investigation in learning dance technique and that really taught me how to have that investigation in all other areas of my life.”

NOTABLE ALUMNI RANDY SHILTS

(Creative Commons)

CLASS OF 1975 (1951-1994)

ARTS DESK

PATTY LARKIN Raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Patty Larkin fit right in with her family of musicians, where she self-taught herself guitar and experimented with pop and folk songwriting before coming to the University of Oregon as an English major. She played music in local coffee shops in the Eugene area before graduating and moving to Boston where she could fully devote herself to music. Larkin has produced 14 albums, her most recent being “Still Green� in 2014. At age 65 she is still touring around the country and sharing her gentle nature and confident spirit with all those willing to listen.

After working at the Daily Emerald as an award-winning managing editor, Shilts came out as gay and began lifelong work as a social justice journalist. While he struggled to find full-time work at first as an openly gay man, he started his career working for LGBT magazine The Advocate. In 1981, Shilts earned the position of national correspondent for the San Francisco Chronicle. He also wrote the groundbreaking biography of openly gay politician Harvey Milk, “The Mayor of Castro Street: The Life and Times of Harvey Milk.� Shilts devoted much of his time and remaining life as a journalist covering the medical, social and AIDS crises.

KAITLIN OLSON Before she was the co-star of the FX hit-comedy “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,�

Kaitlin Olson did the same bar crawl many other University of Oregon students have, even having her fake ID taken by the bouncer at Rennie’s. But that didn’t stop her from earning her degree in Theatre, which started her career in the TV industry. She picked up her first role in 2000, when she starred in the horror film “Eyes to Heaven.�

Since then, Olson has become known for her over-the-top characters and crude, improvisational humor.

CHUCK PALAHNIUK CLASS OF 1986

An acclaimed author of more than 20 books, Chuck Palahniuk graduated from the University of Oregon in 1986, after which he worked in Portland for a local newspaper before leaving journalism and working a series of odd jobs.

He began writing fiction in his mid-30s. His first novel, “Fight Club,� is his most well-known; filmmaker David Fincher brought it to theaters with a critically lauded 1999 adaptation starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.

Palahniuk’s work, which has been labeled “nihilist� by some critics, continues to be published. His latest narrative project, “Fight Club 2,� is a graphic novel.

CAREY

Hotels around the University of Oregon can attest that graduation time is the busiest time of the year for them.

Thousands of relatives flock to the Eugene and surrounding areas to see their loved ones graduate, filling up every room available.

All the hotels in the area have high occupancy levels, but that doesn’t mean that everyone will get a spot. “We sell out during graduation,” said Matt Victor, the general manager for Best Western New Oregon. “We open booking nine months in advance, and sell out the day we open the booking.”

Fortunately there are alternatives to staying in a hotel with the creation of Airbnb. Currently only 14 percent of listings open for June 19, so book your room or house now.

INTERESTING AIRBNB LISTINGS: • For $28 per night, you can rent a ‘cozy camper,’ described on the site as, “The smell of baking bread and the haunting sound of the train … our place is close to the University of Oregon, located between Eugene and Springfield, with mountain views, art and culture, restaurants and dining, the city center, parks, bike trails, lots of outdoor activities.” The space accommodates four, with one shared bathroom and two beds. Hopefully you won’t mind the bright pink paint job and the toilet/ shower combo next to the master bed.

• $20 a night will get you a “Cozy room, loft bed; just a place to lay your head”. While the single photo isn’t much to go on, the price is cheap and it’s a loft bed that makes it easy

for solo travelers to have a roof over their heads. Just don’t mind the house outside of the room since the description says “House outside room is as is, sometimes not super tidy.”

No smoking!

• Does a quiet bedroom on a dead-end street in South Eugene sound like your thing? This listing is for you!

It’s a shared space with two people and a dog, but for $60 a night you can have the extra bedroom. The university is only two miles away, making it an easy place to stay for graduation.

• Do you like blue? Does “a very nice blue room” appeal to you? For $22 a night you can have a room with “Southern exposure so the room gets lots of sunlight and is very pleasant.”

What NOT to do

at graduation ➥ EMERALD

ARTS DESK

1. Attempt a cartwheel Or any other gymnastic feat for that matter. Look, best case scenario, you nail it, and the quarter of the audience who are actually paying attention are mildly impressed. Mildly embarrassed are your parents. But, worst case scenario, you misjudge the stage width, careen over the railing and receive a mild concussion upon landing. Super embarrassed are your parents. Just go with a solid fist pump or the “O�.

2. Fall asleep

Yes, it may be a long ceremony. Yes, that gown may be making you a little warm but resist the temptation to pull the cap over your eyes and nod off. The speeches may be long and boring, but if you can sit through a two-hour lecture on some science concept, you can sit through 20 minutes of someone giving you advice about the “adult world.� This is your last chance to remember that one time your professor showed that famous David Foster Wallace commencement speech during class and you wished you were somewhere else. Scratch that, maybe just shutting your eyes for a few seconds would be okay.

3. Re-wear your cap and gown Don’t wear the same cap and gown you wore for your high school graduation (even if it’s green). People. Will. Tell. Think of the plethora of photos you will be in on your graduation day; they’ll turn into a pain to look at if your all-black get-up is the only one sticking out in a sea of classic, Oregon green. The extra $95 spent will be nothing among the great wall of money you’ve paid to get to this point, and your kit will offer many more memories than the countless, mundane classes you’ve sat Proud Parent andsatisfying Supporter through. Come June, thereO’Hara really isn’t a more bill to pay than the one that allows you to move past this era of your life with dignity and style.
