The Princeton Alumni Weekly (PAW) is a magazine published for the alumni of Princeton University. It was founded in 1900 and, until 1977, it was the only weekly college alumni magazine in the United States.[1] Upon changing to biweekly publication in 1977, the number of issues per year decreased from twenty-eight to twenty-one, and then later decreased to seventeen. It remains the most frequently published alumni magazine in the world, currently publishing 11 times per year.[2]

Transcription
I feel triumphant I feel proud apprehensive amused, confused awed hungry I'm going to miss having all my friends here in one place because it's so easy here to just walk around campus and have great conversations and make great memories. Going out into the real world it's going to be a bit more of a challenge to get in touch with everyone so easily My favorite memory is probably turning in my thesis after working on it for a really long time and finally getting to the point where I just can't read it anymore Firestone is where I wrote my thesis. It's also where I work at my work-study job, so I'm basically here everyday and have been here everyday, all year. I've probably had more books checked out this year than any other member of the senior class -- 150-plus I think my favorite memory from this past weekend was losing my voice at the P-rade Seeing 60-plus years of Princetonians walk by us as if nothing had changed was a really awesome moment for me So excited! I didn't get into the whole vibe until two days ago when I saw all the class tents I was like "Yes, I'm going to be an alumna!" This is awesome The nostalgia -- there's so many things that we could have done, but we did so many things also Seeing everything come together has been incredibly inspiring. It's been a really fun four years, but I'm ready and I'm going to miss this place a lot. I'm pretty excited to graduate. I've had a great time here and it's going to be a big change to leave, but I'm excited to start this next stage of my life I've been looking forward for God knows how many years to the moment when I'd have a bachelor's degree and President Tilghman would say those words in Latin that literally confer it upon me. I feel surreal right now, very surreal Sad and bittersweet Excited excited I swear I'm taller than when I came in here Appreciative I hope we do something really amazing with this
