YaYa Kagillery

I, YaYa Kagiliery, of completely insane mind and hot pink body hereby leave to the following; 2017 PCULT; yawps, oak trees, MacBeth and all that it entails, fried chicken (especially if it's from a pocket), phenomenal legs, and of course, Kengis Khan. To T REV: I give you proletariat revolutions, communist memes, a bi icon, a guillotine, all my love, and the eternal belief that you will all do amazing things. To Tyler; I leave you the personal growth that I know you will experience, I leave you a bad boy but a good man. I give you a spot on wet dreams and my frisbee skills. I finally also give you the password to Jack’s my eye’s only. Be good. To Jamie; I leave you the good sense to choose right and wrong and many frisbee skills, use it all well. To Ava; I leave you my relic and the responsibility it brings. I give you the ability to take things to heart and to let them roll off your back. I grant you the wisdom to know when to do either. I leave you leadership and class, and the best fourth year you could ever want, I know you will do great things. Be good (not too good) and spend your time wisely. To Nushana; I leave all that nasty shit and Chris. To Arnav; I leave American food, particularly corndogs. To Anna; I leave lots of love and your authentic self. You are amazing sweet girl and I cannot wait to see who you become. To Sydney; I leave you the fact that you and Emma will be the last kids on campus who remember REVT, you remember our jokes, our conversations, and that amazing class. I leave you the most wonderful 4th year and all the inside jokes, love, and success. To Emma; I leave you the stewardship of REVT and an amazing 4th year. Love as much as you can and make as many friends as possible! You are such a sweet girl and I hope that never changes! To Shelby; I leave you the ability to bend AC’s will to your own, politics and agreement, a 1.5 hour drive and all tipunions we can have. I will definitely see you soon. To Trinity; I leave you first and foremost all my love. Stick and poke tattoos, a good boyfriend, negative pregnancy tests, our 2019 tipsync win, many tip unions, plenty of market place coffee, and all the lingerie you could find online. To Andrew; I leave you your sweet smile and cute dimples! You are such a good guy and my only regret is not getting to know you better and sooner. I leave you a spot on Water Colors and Wet Dreamz! Never change, sweet boy. To Brooke: I leave you the most amazing life with all the positivity you can handle, I leave you our four year glow up and all that we have learned about ourselves and each other, I give you all my love and Beyonce, and lucky charms. To Maggie; I leave you all the unopened doors, yelling at greenies, Southern Culture, and the complicated geopolitics that it entails. I also leave you the wish that we had become friends sooner. I love you very much and I am so lucky to have gotten to spend these short three weeks with you. To Lorena: I leave you TRev and quickness, long nails, all the noises that anyone can make and I leave you the ability to move on from what hurts you and to embrace your future which is so so bright. To Billy: I leave you angry rants of the field, your fifth year, sweeping and flipping eights and bad timing. To Alex Titia: I leave you all my frisbee dubs, late night ramen, letters, self medicating, the word ‘hun,’ therapy, and the good sense that the good lord gave you. Thank you for teaching my the importance of quick wit and the power of silence. To Sarah; I leave you all our first year memories and the car that you’ve bought. I loved getting to know you and I wish you all the best. To Sydney: I leave you Jack and Dayne, as well as getting that dick. To Natalia; I leave you all the late night coffee you can drink and a clean roommate. To Adrea; I leave you curly hair, makeup, and utter confidence. To Will; I leave our many interesting times and conversations, our personal growth, frisbee, height, the hope that one day timing may work out, hand grenades, and the belief that you deserve well. Thank you for teaching me a lot about myself and even more about others. More than all else I appreciate the opportunity to practice the sense that the good lord gave me. Thank you and I wish you the best. To Sam; I leave you a good beard and a tan. Thanks for all the frisbees, I appreciate the time. All the best. To John; I leave you 7 on 8 frisbee games and the patience to deal with the greenies. To Creighton: I leave you a girlfriend and being a fetus, thanks for all the games, my dude. To Kathrine: I give you the dummy thichest of them all. To Greyson: I leave a phenomenal flick and a thick ass. To Maxx; I give you rompers, wall twerking, snorting pixie sticks, long frisbee games, and herpes To Milye: I leave you the best fourth year roommate ever, breakfast, popsicle deep throating, the regret that we didn’t meet earlier, and that eternal smile of yours. To Skippy: I leave you our slow dance, titties, a lower rice purity score, frisbee skills, a woah in times of sadness, and the charisma I know you have. To AC; I leave you incorrect first impressions, a 54 on the rice purity test, school parking lots, french rap, my country music, Yahlok, little finger waves, purple flowers, my camera roll, the dingy bowling alley, archetypal tipsters, a girlfriend back home, bad timing, a spot on wet dreamz, my three pointer, my ankles, a picture of that same house, a hickey, Yee Yee, a kink, vanilla, Bird Box, and the hope that you will do great things. Stay away from crack, embrace your future, and know that I am happy to have gotten to know you. In a last ditch effort, I also leave you emotional attachment, to anyone or thing, solely to prove to you that it is possible. You are one of the few people I will truly miss from this term. Timing is a bitch my friend. To Jack (Big Tex); I leave you all the hammer throughs and frisbee moments, the “easy baby”s in a thick southern accent, the state of Texas, and Tyler. I leave you show choir and all the Broadway shows you can handle. I leave you Georgetown, my vote for whatever election you enter, the internal sense of optimism I’ve developed, and your utter gift with words. I give you someone who supports you and understands the greater things you are destined for. I leave you the shirts and frisbees you’ve given me and the hope that one day I’ll see you again. When I think of people who have made me who I am, your names comes up. Thank you for all that you have taught me. I leave you plane tickets to come visit me and all my love in it’s most twisted form. To Katrina, my love; There is so much I want to give you but I know I will not be able to write it all now. First, I leave you my frisbee skills and hoops, I give you a sub 7:30 2K and a scholarship to Columbia, I will see you there. I leave our countless house parties and rants, our love of tip and your intense passion in all that you do. I leave you our third year squad, Sophia Pan, and platonic lesbians. I give you each and every frisbee you have dropped and every picture Seth has ever sent me. Your eternal sense of optimism amazes me and I hope you never lose that. I will miss you more than you know. I leave you the most amazing life and all the good that this world has to offer because I know that you deserve it. You will do great things my dear friend and I can’t wait to see it all. I will see you again, and I will always be here for a laugh, a tear, whatever life throws at us. I may not be with you, but I will always be here for you I love you sweet girl. To the 2020 relic holders: I leave you good sense, the opportunity to fuck up admin and to have a wonderful time. To anyone I forgot; Please know that I love you all so very much and I have come to say that I feel the most myself around you. I apologize for any wrongs and celebrate the laughs, Each and everyone of you has impacted me in ways I cannot begin to describe. We have such bright futures ahead, so chin up my friends. Let the tears fall and the smiles last, the future is bright. Look up, but never back. I love you. To the greenies; It hits different in orange. Enjoy every damn moment because it doesn’t last. Love fast, dive head first, and forgive quickly. You have just 12 short weeks here, so spend them wisely. Yesterday, I was an over eager first year taking on Wake Forest. I now sit with an orange lanyards with a week and a half left to go till my time with you all is up. There is a certain sadness to the end of this time in my life, just as there is sadness in all ends. But, my young friends, there is also great hope. Hope for what comes next, hope for the future. So if we were friends or not, if you liked me or not, my hope is not only in my future but also in yours. Hold on to your time here and cherish it but do not dwell. Live in the moment and take it all in. It goes by much too fast and soon you will be left only with snapchat streaks, tshirts, and memories. Make it all count and love a lot It hits different in orange, wear the color well.

We’re gone, we’re not coming back (except as RC’s boi get ready), but you guys are here for one or two more years. Make them count, take chances, start rebellions. Burn the whole fucking campus down, perpetual 0 days without a fire. Right now you might be scared to wear an orange lanyard, you might be hella excited, but based on the three or six weeks I’ve known you, I know that you’ll do amazing. Scream at the moon for me please, remind her of how amazing she is. Keep loving and accepting people, keep TiP as the beautiful place we all call home.
• The 2020 Relic Squad- listen up right now: y’all are going to be better than you could even imagine. We picked you guys for a reason, just like the 2018 tipsters picked us for a reason. If you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask, and remember that you guys are the ones who can get shit done. Stand up for everyone else on campus, and most importantly, enjoy your fourth year. The campus is yours now, make it your own, be your own people and start your own traditions. The best of luck to each and every one of you, and I’m always here if you need anything.

It breaks my heart to know I’ve said goodbye to TiP for the last time, that I’ve stood on B Duke for the last time, that I’ve screamed at the moon for the last time, that I’ve kicked off my shoes for American Pie, did the Time Warp, and sobbed to Iris for the last time. Even writing this now, I can’t believe it’s really over. There was a time in my life where I didn’t even know if I’d make it this far, and here I am, thriving, living the best life I can. Not every memory here was perfect. I made mistakes, some minor, and some that will stick with me for a lifetime. However, I wouldn’t change a single thing. Everything I’ve done, all of it has led me to where I am today. Without that, who knows who I would be, who knows if I would’ve met the same people and had the same friends, who knows if I even would’ve stepped foot on this campus. I guess that’s the point I’m trying to make- not every second spent on this campus was perfect, some were absolutely hell on earth, but they all make up the best experience I have ever had. I’ve fallen deep, deeply in love with every bench, every button, every unairconditioned dorm and every slice of pizza from the Marketplace. I could go on for pages and pages and pages about everything I’ve loved, every person I met, every delicate detail that describes my unconditional admiration for the Duke Talent Identification Program; but who would want to read that, especially when my will is long enough as is. I love each and every one of you, and the memories you’ve made with me. I will treasure our inside jokes and our group chats and every stupid thing we’ve done. You’ve all shown me that there is a place where I am loved and accepted, a place where I feel welcome and so genuinely happy. I didn’t know a place like that could exist and yet here it is, tucked away in Durham, North Carolina. TiP is over for me, but the love it gave me will live on forever in my heart. TiP is over for me, but it’s not over for so many of the greenies I’ve met, the people I’ve passed my relics on to, the people I’ve asked to carry on my legacy. TiP is over for me, but the relationships I’ve made will stick for a lifetime. TiP is over for me, but it’s something I will never forget. Keep in touch, and don’t be afraid to call. This is Brooklyn Bean Kristine Huffman, the 2019 pastor and moonscream leader, signing out. You all have my entire heart (Sam gets the biggest piece though). Until we meet again.

• John Penry- A year full of being annoying, a Duke is better than UNC, an L in frisbee, and some skill in FPS games
• Devak- A devotion to actually liking Astralis and a frisbee that doesn’t hurt to throw
• Richard- AHHHHHHH, a frisbee friend, and a leech that will give me some of your musical talent.
• Ryan Ringel- A frisbee friend, a secret handshake, another frisbee that doesn’t hurt to throw, and a place to “live on the water, dude.”
• Shea Seufert- A time where I’m not mean to you, an actually successful exorcism, a half decent frisbee throw, and a leech that will give me some of your dancing talent.
• Maddie Peronto- Better eyebrows, a better frisbee throw, someone who actually responds to your texts, a concussion-free term, and DUKE IS BETTER THAN UNC

• Yustin Willis- A restriction-less phone
• Yaya Kagiliery-A challenger in volleyball

• Andy Lee- Better bowling skills and some pride socks
• Brooke Huffman- An inner dragon named Burnie, a year of barely knowing each other, a year spent (basically) apart from each other, a questionable teacher, a giraffe, a perfectly amazing birthday shirt, a dick of lies, some frisbee skill, “you too”, a weasel, a burning hatred for all of my song choices, an “abstract” choice of music, someone to vent to even though you’ll probably only get a sarcastic response, and, finally, three years of love...and counting.
• My spec fic class- All the damn inner dragons you can harness
• My Creative Chronicles class- Stretched out crabs, spaceships, tennis balls, and the inability to use the word “last”
• My Lit Lic class- Giraffes
• PCult- Infinite woahs and cuddle puddles, and the best class of greenies
• To all the future and current tipsters- Don’t be afraid to go out there and be yourself. TiP is a completely different experience depending on whether or not you choose to go out and meet everyone you can. Take it from me, I refused to talk to basically everyone first year because I was too scared, but now that I’m willing to just go out and do it because I have the opportunity to do it, I’m living my best life. You’ve probably heard me screaming this at Andy during frisbee games, but be confident. Go outside, don’t be afraid to be yourself, and, most importantly, be good at frisbee.

Little bit of a shameless plug, but my insta is s.sam.king and my snap is drakontas419 if y’all ever need anything

What am I thankful for?

Well, there’s a lot of things, but I’m too lazy to type them all out unless for some reason I have a change of mind. So here’s a few of them. I’ll start out small and thank John Penry for introducing me to frisbee. I would’ve never been where I was today without frisbee to help me be more social. I want to thank my spec fic class for being so amazing. I would’ve never come back to TiP if it hadn’t been for y’all. Y’all changed something in my life that I would’ve been completely different without, and I can’t than y’all enough. I’m thankful for “The Squad.” Andrew, Emily, Jake, Natalie, and Zoë. Y’all have changed my life so much I can’t even explain it. When I was new to Duke East, y’all were willing to take me in and help me come out of the shell I had tried so hard to build around myself. Y’all made it so that I am the person that stands before you today. Y’all mean the world to me, and I don’t think I can express how grateful I am that y’all decided to take the angry little second year under your wing. I lastly want to thank Brooke. We’ve been best friends for three years by now, and I can’t say that I’ve thought about how horrible it’s going to be without seeing you at least once a year for twenty days. You’ve helped me through thick and thin and are probably the only reason I stay sane during the school year. I’m going to miss you a lot dude, and you better fuckin visit because I want you to meet my cats.
