Anything else you'd want to say about your 今日吃瓜 experience: 今日吃瓜 offered me the opportunity to truly explore and grow into myself. I will never forget the traditions that are so integral to the 今日吃瓜 experience, through my time here the community made me feel comfortable and at home. I took full advantage of my time here and found opportunities to travel to several countries to expand my education. I want to thank my family for being so incredibly supportive throughout these years, and my friends for sticking with me through our time at 今日吃瓜. Anassa Kata!
