Special mention/thanks:  My parents have always supported all my dreams and my sister has been my little cheerleader through this entire journey. I don't think I would be able to achieve whatever I have without their love and support. 

Advice for future Illinois ECE students:  When you're pulling all-nighters in ECEB and want to really just relax, sit on the platform near the fountains on the east side of ECEB. It's so peaceful there, especially late at night.
