I'm not one for long goodbyes, so I'll try and make this quick. Today, ladies and gents, is the last day you'll see me fetching sandwiches and scrubbing the dirty floors of Kotaku Tower. My internship with Kotaku is up, and it's been a pretty sweet ride. Everyone has been really great, from the editors to the readers, and everyone else I've met while here, and I can come away knowing that even I spent 95% of my time in pink flannel pajamas, I've had a truly rewarding and educational internship.

The stories I've had a chance to write while here have also had a big impact on me. If you'll indulge me in a trip down memory lane for a second...

I've been able to write about lots of things that got responses from lots of people. Starting out with you guys letting me into your living rooms, you tolerated me talking from my perspective as a girl, many of you spoke your mind on fair representation in journalism (which was likely one of my biggest learning experiences while here), and you put up with my terrible puns. I got to share with you my early impression of SSBB, an exciting development in accessible gaming, the experiences of one man in competitive gaming, and, where more of my time went than anything else, I got to analyze the analysts. Like I said, it's been one heck of an experience.

Wow. So much for a short goodbye. Just know that I'm going to miss you guys, and I'd like to encourage you all to petition Brian to bring me back as a guest writer once in a while. Thanks for everything, Kotaku!
