Off the Cuff — Quick takes on life from our editors

It’s been fun

I loved spending the last four years at the University of Idaho, but it wouldn’t have been the same if it weren’t for Student Media. I have learned and experienced so much in the three and a half years I have been a member of the many staffs on the third floor of the Student Union Building. Nothing can replace our endless stories and inside jokes. I have met most of my closest friends here and had the privilege to work with some of the best professional staff on this campus. I also had two incredible people to look to for overall guidance and advice — words cannot describe my appreciation. Thanks Shawn and Marlene, you are the best.

Buena suerte …

… To all my friends during finals week. I hope you all study hard, play hard and are ready to have the greatest summer of your lives. And to The Argonaut staff, enjoy your vacation because I intend to work you to the bone when school starts again.

— Elisa

No better ending

Childish Gambino, golf tournament and get togethers are the perfect ending to what has been a great year. Thanks to everyone for making it so memorable.

— Madison

Phew

Here’s to the hardest part of this job. #OTC

— Vicky

Thank you

To all the seniors I’ve met and learned from during my time at The Argonaut. You’ve all helped to make this the best student newspaper in the state and I appreciate all the time and effort you’ve put in. You will all be missed.

— Theo

Here’s to

A new chapter, for all of us. Jens and Elizabeth — good luck in the real world, you guys are going to be great and I can’t wait to see where life takes you. Madison — holla, holla. Elisa — you’ll own Minnesota this summer and the newsroom next year. Nick — I’ll be praying for you. Vicky — I’m glad I finally found my long lost twin. Amrah — try not to get deported. Theodore — I hope you finally discover what a carb is #Arubody. Dylan — I’ll see you in Europe. Thanks to all of you for making it an incredible year.

— Britt

What’s next?

Who knows, I don’t. Getting through the day is a difficult enough task. The future is completely unknown.

— Nick

Random Facts

If you want to learn random facts about bands offer to drive them to and from the airport. People think there are a lot of bears in the Moscow area, you learn what band members are allergic too and who snores while sleeping in a van.

— Jens


Out with the old

I already said my congrats in the last Off the Cuff. I’ll leave some space for our new voices ;).

— Amrah

Farewell

A thanks to Rudd and Jens, The Argonaut and I will miss you both.

— Dylan

Lessons learned

It’s been a crazy-wonderful year. I’ve learned so much, laughed so much and loved every single second of working at Student Media. For our seniors: “Be happy. It’s one way of being wise,” Sidonie Gabrielle. And let me tell you, you all are incredibly wise and wonderful people. I can’t wait to read about how successful you all are and remember that I had the opportunity to work with you.

— Chloe

Musical wonder

I do believe Mack the Knife is the most cheerfully violent song in existence.

— Kasen 

Heartfelt advice

When in doubt, go to The Perch.

— Molly

Congratulations 

… to Carissa Baglien — the best roommate ever. I can’t believe you’re actually graduating. Really, how did you do it? I should take notes.

— Lindsey

Horse of a different odor

Excited for the Kentucky Derby this weekend. Perhaps I will do some research on the horses this year so I don’t end up backing “Hoofhearted” again.

— Joseph

Climate change

“Global warming’s for real y’all. Someday there won’t be any rappers with ice in their names. Only water. Water-T. Water Cube. Vanilla Water,” George Wallace.

— Katy

Saying goodbye

I’m going to miss my adopted big sister, Elizabeth Rudd. Congratulations, you get to be a real big kid now. Go punch the real world in the face.

— Kaitlyn

End of times?

Ready for the day of reckoning in the WAC. Here is to hoping that Idaho can salvage some kind of future in Division I. Besides, what would big time football be without the best nasty and inebriated fans in the country? #WACocalypse
