"Every failure was freeing, and today I’m as nostalgic for the bad as I am for the good. So that’s what I wish for all of you-the bad as well as the good." Wise as he is funny, and those words that stuck with me for years. Any Conan fan wouldn't be surprised how much we have learned from him.

I'll admit, I was never the brightest, took 5 years instead of 3 to finish my undergrad, and now in 2020 thrown into the unknown with this pandemic. The solace I sought was from my graduation ceremony, which was unceremoniously cancelled. But this. As well as the 2020 version, is truly a glimmer of hope and light in an otherwise pitch black world. And so for that I thank you. Conan for doing what you do best. And for the people at Team Coco who work so tirelessly and endlessly to make the magic happen. Thank you all and stay blessed. Stay safe.

Over a decade later, she returned to Harvard and completed her B.A. in political science in 2000."
