| − | So is this a virtual fake wake-up from the friars? Doesn't have the same oomph as being woken up at 5 AM... <-- Nah, this isn't that. Though I wonder how they'd announce it to everyone (besides a regular ol' email). Maybe they'll use the Knox Alert Test? I wonder if the Flunk "Day" Hotline has been changed for this year...

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Hey, everyone. Congrats! You made it. Know that I and many others are very proud of you, and we wish you happiness and safety wherever you may go. That's about all that I wanted to say. I know, it's a bit anticlimactic isn't it? Of course, just because something isn't exciting doesn't mean it's not worth celebrating and reflecting upon.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I'm not Maria Hinojosa, and this is not a commencement speech. Rather, this is just some friendly communication from me to you, to let you know that you are acknowledged, your journey is appreciated, and you are not alone. Plus, the fun thing about a letter versus a speech is that letters feel more intimate, and more encouraging of a reply. (Side note: did you know each page on the WikiFire has a discussion tab?) On the internet, there are so many platforms for discourse, so many ways you can learn and share in various ideas with people you might have never met otherwise. Off the internet, there exist public forums and other ways to make your voice heard.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Instead of the multiple speeches that you would have received today, have a discussion. Have multiple discussions. Stay connected with your friends and with your community.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I'd wager that most folks don't remember much about their graduation after a few years, at least not what was said or the details of what happened on that day. Although 2020 is a very memorable year that will no doubt go down in history, memory is still a fickle thing. And so, I encourage you to think about writing your own letter to yourself. Recount what you're doing today, how you feel, what you're thinking about, and what you want to tell your future self.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | What I want to tell both present and future you is always keep your momentum going. Find time for your hobbies and avenues for laughter. Interact with people, make new acquaintances, civilly challenge their view of the world as well as your own. Never stop asking questions and never stop learning. And, of course, stay hydrated.

| − | Hi Tfooq,
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You don't know me and I only know of you, but I just wanted to say (well, type), "Thank you." I, and no doubt many others, probably felt the vague pressure to somehow become the best versions of ourselves simply because pseudo-quarantine has given us more "free time." It was very easy to become disappointed with myself before falling asleep at night, realizing that I spent most of the day being as unproductive as always, laying in bed, watching Youtube videos, and playing video games. I guess it's questionable whether editing the WikiFire can be considered productive, but it did give me a goal and I had fun doing it. Besides, this WikiFire has given me a lot of joy over the years beyond just this page, so I want to thank you for being the progenitor of it all.
