Duck: Margaret Lin

Thank you for…

Lindsay: hanging out with me literally 24/7 this semester. You’ve lead the visuals with strange noises and an impeccable eye for strong design. We’ve made it somehow through the guides and other disasters of the semester.

Lizzie: bringing a calm voice of reason as I stressed out in the world of photo. Come back from being cool in Copenhagen already, geez.

Casey: hiring me once as an assistant and again as a head editor. You were definitely the (cool) mom of the house that we all needed.

Lara: partnering up with me in the role of accidental head editors. Keep leading The D.O. with your visual-friendly ways and weakness for cute animal videos.

Mer: your laughs, schvitzes and wisdom. Looking forward to reading your No. 1 best-selling autobiography. Thanks for taking care of us rowdy kids.

Jackie: repping west coast, best coast with me. Can’t wait to see you covering every single music festival of the future. #DOingAlbion4eva

Jess: providing never-ending head eds nervous giggles. Sorry I never got to run just a pretty photo of an apple in your section.

Audrey: being that cool older sister who showed us the ways of life, like how to throw knives and keep the sports boys in their place.

KB: shamelessly being yourself and through that, encouraging others to do the same. Such is life.

Natalie: letting me hang out in your office when photo was too stressful, which was often.

Alfred: being my tiger brother. You’re the OG token Asian and I will always be secondary to ya. Asian club forever.

Annie: being one of those rare friends who just understands and accepts people for the way they are.

Michelle: co-cacti-ing it up on Halloween.

Maggie: making the in-house reads less daunting with your warm personality.

Anna: being the hippie friend that I never knew I needed, and now can’t live without. Our conversations always bring calmness and clarity.

Ellen: being the best Spongebob to my Patrick that I could ever ask for.

Justin: bringing “Dreamgirls” to the photo office that one time.

Brett: the SA coverages, protest coverages and dining hall fruit.

Chloe: doing the Chlo, doing the Chlo.

Clare: the daily hugs. I’ll miss them.

Mara: constantly killing the design game all day, every day.

Nick: being my non-Newhouse bestie. “High five, Midge.” Besties unite!!

Jon: ditching design for sports… psh. Just kidding, come back in house soon!

Kat/Sydney: building up the Delta Omega pledge class of 2018.

Matt: not cropping my photos, right?

Ankur: giving me advice/closure on the D-bag situation.

Chris Voll: doing the seriously important job of building and keeping up the digital face of The D.O. I hope I can do your position justice next semester.

Erik: recruiting me to work in house and going to Austin with us. “Welcome to the Jungle” taxi is one of my favorite D.O. memories.

Brendan: killing the mac/headline game.

Jesse: being one-half of the best sports and photo relationship to date. Ready to just drop off our photos/stories and just… leave?

Bailey: putting up with my incompetence in the world of sports and still coming out at the end as friends.

Phil: providing me a sense of appreciation for Eminem. Also, you’re going to kill it as sports editor. #silentbutdeadly

Klinger: having insane and unending amounts of energy, yet somehow also being the voice of reason and insightful conversation when needed.

Dan: road tripping with me on the best (and most ratchet, in a good way) trip ever. Higher, higher, higher. Now go take over the world of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Trevor: not blinking and moving for like five minutes in Pulp — incredibly impressive and entertaining.

Schneidman/Sam Blum: having by far the most entertaining rivalry of the house.

Sam Maller: quitting. It changed my life.

D.O. Water fountain: You da real MVP.

Chase: teaching me the ways of photo editor success. It’s safe to say I couldn’t have survived last semester without your guidance.

Leslie: being your derpy, lovable self and making the gifs/vids.

Logan: nerding out with me over sports photography and cool photo gear. The sports guys are all so pumped to have you work in house.

Kadijah: representing the ideal staff photographer model of growth and then some.

Fierceberg: being the most supportive non-blood-related sister I could have ever asked for in one of the scariest transitions of my life.

Joshuah: always going to the bouncy house and never forgetting about your friends back here at The D.O. Seriously, visit.

Renee: being the most talented and underrated photographer on this campus. Teach me how to be like you, Photoshop queen.

Frankie: bringing bubbliness and the best music taste to photo. Keep shooting concerts when you’re not at 744 Ostrom, you have an amazing talent for them.

Love y’all.
