To the last class to start in the second millennium:\nAs if you won't hear it enough this week, good luck and congratulations. \nMay in Bloomington is always a time of reflection for graduates. Imagine -- when you began your tenure here at IU, it was still the '90s. Songs like Len's "Steal My Sunshine," Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5," and sadly, LFO's "Summer Girls" ruled the airwaves. You were petrified that the Blair Witch would leave a pile of rocks outside your bedroom door. \n Unbeknownst to you, Bob Knight was about to coach his last of 29 seasons at IU. The Supreme Court had still never elected a President. And in the back of your mind was the fear that the world would end at midnight on Jan. 1, 2000.\n Now, your world (or at least a part of it) really will be ending this Saturday. No more cramming for tests. No more ordering Mad Mushroom cheese sticks at 4 a.m. No more walking aimlessly through the Villas on a weekend night looking for a party (any party). No more papers about the rise of the middle class in early-15th-century Iceland. No more William Tell Overture at the 8-minute timeout of the second half. No more stats classes. No more Glenn Gass explaining why you should (and will) love "Good Vibrations." No more 15-cent beers. No more Hairy Bears. No more Sink the Bismark.\nBut don't be too depressed about all that you're leaving behind. Because as cliché as it might sound, you're merely finishing one chapter of your life and beginning to write another. Whatever lies ahead, whether it's an accounting job in Chicago, law school in DC, a "dancing" job in Vegas or anything in between, you will always (hopefully) look back fondly on your four (or five or six or seven) years in Bloomington.\nHere comes the "no regrets" part: Make the most of the week you have remaining. Think about what you wish you would have done here, and don't leave IU wishing you had done more. Swim in the fountain (at your own risk). See an opera (you know we do have the world's #1 music school). Play frisbee in Dunn Meadow. Supersize your extra value meal. Protest something. Swim in the quarries, a la "Breaking Away." Skateboard with the angst-ridden high-schoolers at People's Park. Find that girl or guy friend that you've always wanted to hook up with and do it (barring an unfortunate pregnancy, you're not going to see them after Saturday anyway, except maybe an awkward encounter at Nick's at Homecoming).\nWhether you live on North Jordan, North Prow, East Tenth or South Henderson, whether your degree will be in business, journalism, biology, law, music, folklore or even SPEA, we sincerely wish you all the luck in the world. Now get out there and make IU proud.
