Teenagers are well versed in using technology for entertainment, but our ability to access, manage, evaluate, and communicate information is often weak. It is important that we become more comfortable with this application of technology, and using the iPod Touch in the classroom is one way we can do that.

"It's sad to think about leaving it all behind, but I think the true test of my Uni education will come when I leave it," writes Lauren Piester, who graduated Saturday night with her 56 classmates. "How well am I prepared for college? For life after college? I can't say yet. But I know the transition will be made so much worse if all I can do is pine for high school."

"When I first came to Uni, I'll admit that I had some difficulties integrating myself into the larger community," writes Gordon Ruan, who during the past five years has learned to become a more confident and open person.

With their careers as Uni students about to end, several senior editors reflect on what they've learned during the past five years. "Mostly it comes down to what is being asked of us," they write.

"Maybe I'm too unwilling to compromise, maybe I'm too different," writes Elaine Gu. "I've yet to find that one friendship circle for me. But I've realized that's OK. Even though I don't have one best friend, I have a diverse group of people I hang out with. And most importantly, I'm happy with the way things are."

Lor Sligar didn't anticipate and certainly doesn't appreciate the giant medical curveball that fate threw her way this past weekend, but it's taught her something important that she needed to know before she could graduate. "This is what fate has decided to do," she writes, "and there's nothing I can do except sit back and hold on tight."

"I am choosing to go to a college in another state, where I have no previous connections," writes Deborah Ladd. "It is beginning to dawn on me that I am putting myself completely out of any comfort zone I have ever known, and it's a little scary. I am starting to long for the good old days … but no, not my ones at Uni."

I'm restless. That is the best I can describe how I feel right now. I don't want to do anything involving school. I feel as if I am done; my gut is yelling at me that I have already graduated it's summer stop going back to the building you've been trapped in for the past five years!
