Fourth Year Will 2018

This page will serve as a collection of the Fourth Year Wills from the 2018 summer at TiP East Term 1. Many of these wills will be different than the ones in the term book, usually expanded. Each may be organized differently. Either way, we wanted a collective stop for all of us, a final resting place for our TiP experience.

Billy

I, William Morgan Lockhart, Keeper of the Hog, of childish mind and manly body, do leave the following things and thank the following people, in no particular order, for the following:

I Leave:

For Wilson, I leave a tender kiss in a romantic pizza shop. Neither of us like to lose, so we ended up in a win-win situation. I hope your tongue doesn't treat Sandy like that.

For Skippy and Spencer, I leave a never-ending joke that sprouted from nothing and spread like fire. Now all of Duke East knows "Sporkle water makes big cums," and all of its variations. May it outlive us.

For Anna, I leave a 👌. You looked, I got you. Even in the will. I'm sorry, but sometimes it be like it do.

For Michael Hammer, I leave almost three summers of happiness and troublemaking. You haven't changed a bit since I met you and I love you for it.

For Nick, I leave a hope that you'll never have another kid as troublesome as I. Never forget the double sided knocking, the ceaseless oinks, and the mad dash down the hallway.

For Michael, I leave six and a dab. I don't know how we came up with it, but it stuck.

For Shea, I leave any part of me that could be considered Rick-like. I've spent this term calling you Morty, and maybe it's bullying, but no one else will ever look more similar to him than you do, and I love you for it.

For Tristan, I leave any trace of superhuman in me. You could clearly beat me in an arm wrestling contest (I mean, LOOK at those biceps!).

For Rory, I leave a set of sunglasses, because those eyes are gonna capture any man that sees them. Maybe tone that down a little.

For Sandy, I leave any article of clothing except that shirt. It's mine, I got it because I went to nationals, and maybe, just maybe, I'll buy myself another one so you can keep it :).

For Henry, I leave any trace of musical talent that I have. Not that you need it, because you clearly don't, but because I'm in this awkward spot where I'm just good enough to be in your company when making music.

I'm Thankful:

Sandy Baker: Thank you for being a constant ray of southern sunshine. Your happiness and energy never failed to wake me up in the morning or brighten my day. Never change, I love you so much for that. Thank you for representing us so well, as our stilettos. I'm so grateful that you were the one who lead our fourth year class to greatness. I love you.

Skippy: Thank you for our unique connection. Clearly, something happens to boys who spend all year long around boys. Suddenly the letter "E" and simply saying "sporkle" can make us laugh so hard we have milk running out our noses. You have joined a very small group of people with whom I have made such an instant and special connection with. There's no one else who has the same ideas at the same time as me, save you.

Abi: Thank you for being a wonderful roommate. I know we haven't been particularly close before this year, but your constant energy and "oh shit it's 8:55" moments never cease to impress me. You've done me a real service. Maybe lay off the Chick-fil-a cookies though.

Ani: Thank you for being a constant for these three summers - we weren't close after that first year (gee I wonder why??) but you always were there reminding me how far I'd come, and you never passed the opportunity to make my TiP experience a little bit better.

Taylor: Thank you for being you. I love how stunned you are looking at the stars, I love hearing stories about your family friends abusing their horses, and I love that I'll forever have you down the block to take me back to this place we call home.

Madi: Thank you for taking me as a brother. It probably was weird when on the first day I asked Olivia if she was Madi, but I think I've made up for it. You've been a wonderful substitute for my sister, and I'm thinking about replacing her with you. Your kindness and happiness will take you far. Never lose them.

Ronald: Thank you for the weird touching, for the jokes, and for the love. You taught me about friendship. I miss you a ton. Your hugs never ceased to make me feel a lot better.

Soren, and the whole LGBTQ community here: Thank you for helping a southern boy learn. Before I came to TiP I was a social conservative, but I've learned that if something makes someone happy and doesn't take away from my own happiness, there's no reason not to do it. I'm so glad that I'm able to be part of this community where sexuality and gender are so drastically different than at home.

Will: Thank you for teaching me that there are other ways to lead people than to yell them into submission. Your quiet, humble leadership showed me that people are more likely to follow someone they love. You certainly blew me away. Thank you for always being there to put a smile on my face and to show me what friendship is really about.

Wilson: Thank you for being happy and energetic ALL the fucking time. You get excited at everything, and that truly made me feel valued this term. We weren't particularly close last year, but you're a great man, and you'll go far. I can't believe my time with you is coming to a close.

Lily: Thank you for an amazing week of friendship. I can't elaborate, and you know why, but come visit Dallas soon. I miss you.

Michael: Thank you for so much. I'm so grateful that we were roommates last year; we spent our nights learning from each other and rounding our rough edges. I've kept your end-of-term letter in my wallet since you wrote it. It's truly turned my life around on several occasions. Your undying belief in me, even when you didn't know it, was saving a life. Never change anything but some of your political views. I love you more than I can say, and I will never, ever forget you.

Henry: Thank you for always providing me with both a shoulder to cry on and a machine that spits out solutions. Your friendship and guidance has been invaluable to me these past two years, and my time at TiP would be worse-off without it. You are, by a long shot, the smartest person I know, but your ego never trips you up, and I'm grateful to have a role model like you in my life.

Finally, the Reflection

A long time ago I didn’t believe in much of anything, but TiP made me believe in love; this place has done more for me than I can put on this page. Forever will salmon bricks and fair weather remind me of this place that I call home. The quad’s green grass has dried my blood, my sweat, my tears. No place I’ll hold in such reverence, no bronze statue in such fame. Never will I find such talented friends, who strive to seek and find but never yield. In no place will I ever learn as much as I have here; for though my thought has deepened, I’ve learned the most to love. I’ll never be able to come back here, to this state of mind, to this place where happiness and love thrive. So as I turn my head away, and this world’s edges start to frey, and as I leave this one last time, I’ll be forever out of mind. And in my final moments here, as my connection disappears, I’ll be true: I love you, may we meet again.

Skip/Bo out.

Ronald Doe

I, Ronald Cornelius Doe, Jr., of Power Rangers mind and silently creeping body will to the following people the following items:

To Brooke, a promotion to being tied for my favorite Greenie; to Brianna, the memes leftover from Henry and being tied for my favorite Greenie; to Joseph and Garrick, the most love and pride that a father can bestow upon his children, as well as being tied for my favorite Greenie; and to Nelson, the hope that you never change.

To next year’s orange lanyards, the rebellious spirit carried within this passing class; to TiP’s Negro TiPsters, the knowledge that you are all kings and queens, and the request that you represent the 2.5 of us who cannot be with you next year well; to all the RCs I liked, my apologies for all the rules broken; to all the RCs I disliked, I have zero regrets for everything.

Most importantly, to every TiPster I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting and even those I didn’t, I leave a set of open arms for hugs and a lack of personal boundaries to enjoy your room as though it were mine.

Jules Gittin

I, Jules Gittin, of mentally unstable mind and decent body, hereby do bestow my possessions onto the following people.

To my favorite roomie, Mollie, I give all of my clothes,½ of my tea collection, more free time, a special edition of Pet Cemetery signed by Stephen King, and granola bars with nuts. Meeting you was low-key fate. I mean who else in this camp has 6 siblings?? Anyways, I was incredibly scared when I got here on the 10th, but once I met you I instantly felt so much better. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to share a room with for 3 weeks.

To all the people who made me not regret coming back this year I give a giant hug and thank yous out the wazoo. There are so many of you that made this year so much better than last and made me feel so accepted. I truly appreciate all of y'all and wish I could name you all but if you’re reading this and want to collect your hug you know where I am.

Alexis Lowe

I, Alexis Victoria Paige Lowe, of Swiftie mind and thot body do hereby bequeath the following to Samuel Dobson (Samantha Thotson): we've been together for three years now. I'm so thankful we met. I almost love you more than my real siblings (let's not lie I love you more than them). I leave you every amazing memory we've made. From singing our songs as we walked back to class at Davidson to having Fanta poured on your head to making each other thot jewelry; Phinona Walsh: A better name, great pasta, and the wait for a NCC new song. You helped me survive this year by actually replying to my texts. I can wait for this year's conversations. Come visit Vandy soon!!; Kendall Howard: Literally just the best music in the world (Taylor Swift obviously), vines, and a really cool 3-D duck. Also sitting in your doorway as you played trashy music (none of the HSM are good) and argued with Paul (still crying BTW); Allison Yingst: The small amount of patience I have left ("I can fix that") there is 0 chance I would've made it through macro without you being there to exchange Jim from the office looks. I feel like I've known you my whole life and I'm so thankful I met you. You should definitely think about getting all of Post's face tattoos.; Sadie Siegel: swamps and hooves. I will walk the way to Chattanooga if you come to visit; Hannah Salame: some actually good sweet tea and waterproof mascara for all the times we cried; Ethan, Sakemiller, Andrew, and Chris: me finally necking myself (since I always saw you guys being stupid). You guys drove Allison and I to the near edge, but you made macro amazing. I miss you guys so much; Yanni Raymond: your class t-shirt idea since it was hecking amazing; Statistically Speaking and First Year RAG: my love for TIP which you all helped me gain. I'm so thankful for every single friend I made at Wake Forest. I love you all to death; Idil: every meme we've ever sent, you're are one of my favorite people in the entire world. Without you George definitely would have gotten me; Computer Skills: some great hecking ducks, Hattie Haines: mediocre desserts; Jules: your scooter which I actually need now; Paola Barraza: me actually learning how to pronounce your names; Shannon Felder: 2liter Sprite and the best hair in the entire world; Ana Taylor: being weightless as I lifted you into the air; Taylor Krick: a quieter alarm so Kate doesn't murder us; Paul: I feel like I've known you forever. I can't to see you again. I leave you all the arguments you had with Kendall; Yem: a cleaner room and me actually being quiet after lights out; Modern Law: all our freaking great songs and RADICUS; Kate Dickson: a better team (GO VOLS); Alabama/Seitz: just your real name; Abi Lowry: Abu. I can't believe we will never see each other again; J.P. Braunfisch: tickets to a real football game (Go Rocky Top!); Teachers/TA: a smarter me (I'm sorry for all my dumb answers!); Maggie Gehring and Caroline Dowell: every time you taught me to love myself. You were my favorite 4th years ever; Karissa Korman: a better state since we both know just how trash Tennessee is (even if Wagon Wheel mentions it); Ellen Crawford: a real modeling career since you are definitely pretty enough to have one; to every 3rd, 2nd, and future tipster: every beautiful memory you will make at your real home. I leave you an admin I know you will rebel against, all the dances that don't seem like a big deal until it hits you just how short they are, and every friendship you make that will last your entire life.
