I didn't know that and was excited to meet her in person or something this fall..
Thanks for all your help mollie!</p>
<p>Mollie rocks and is a true role model for us all. Congrats Mollie and good luck in your shining bright future.</p>
<p>Thanks Mollie, you truly have been an invaluable source of information, guidance and help. I don't know how we'll do without you next year! </p>
<p>Congrats and good luck in grad school. Hopefully we can meet up next year.</p>
<p>Congratulations Mollie! I saw you receive your diploma yesterday and I was just so proud of you. You have done so much for the prefrosh and their families this year - you will never know how thankful we are for what you did through your blogs, your comments on College Confidential, and answering the numerous questions that everyone had. I know that your parents are so proud of you. Hard work and determination wins out in the end - you did it. Feel proud of yourself, rejoice in your accomplishments, and enjoy grad school. Seeing people like you do well warms my heart. and gives me hope. Looking forward to the day when you are Dr. Mollie! CONGRATULATIONS again!</p>
<p>Congratulations Mollie!
When I checked in your webpage world map I sar myself in a very tiny spot in a very tiny place. You made me us fell otherwise. Thanks for everything Mollie. You are Awsome. There are no words of gratitude that can fully describe what we feel now. Thanks, Thanks. One thousand times.</p>
<p>Well, Mollie will still be on campus in the Westgate dorms next year, so you can still meet her!</p>
<p>Mollie, thank you so much for your time and your insight! You have essentially adopted the entire segment of the prefrosh that frequents CC (and their parents, which is still more impressive), and we love you for it. I can honestly say that without your advice, I might very well have settled for a school other than MIT for next year and regretted it. You've turned out a pretty far cry from that that girl who just wanted her scholarship to OSU, and it's to your credit. So congratulations, and I genuinely thank you for being you. :)</p>
<p>Mollie ~ I registered here mostly so that I could thank you for your mit blog writing. My son will be a freshman next year at mit, his dream school since he was about 9. We have learned so much about life and academics at mit from your blog. The mit undergraduate page with matt's, ben's, and all of the students' blogs has been tremendously helpful for us in the college application process. I think that you are such a wonderful role model for future mit students, and I adore your intelligence, creative outlook, positive energy and spunk! Someday, when you are Professor Dr. Mollie, I am sure that your students will adore you too and will all vie to be in your classes. I am hoping that you will be able to continue writing your mit blog, for all of us who will miss you. Thank you for your insight, your humor, and for being the brilliant, adorable, spunky mollie that we have all come to adore. You have an extended family here who are all pulling for you ~ we are all tremendously proud of you!</p>
<p>I agree completely with mitmom. In my case, my mother new barely anything about MIT and everything she learned about it was from Blogs, especially yours, thanks a lot Mollie.</p>
<p>I'll add my thanks as well. Mollie, the insight i got from your blog is definitely one of the biggest factors contributing to my decision to come to MIT.</p>
<p>Thank you very much for everything you've done! Hope to see you in the fall!</p>

Haha. What I was thinking during the speech was, "Well, I'd like to turn this off, but considering I want to do this for a living and he's a smart guy, I should keep it on in case he says something useful."</p>
<p>But still... a lecture about managerial factors of production? I thought it was a little much. :-)

<p>Here I have to agree with Ben Golub. To be perfectly frank, Bernanke's speech was one of the most boring speeches I have ever heard in my life. It was so boring that you could see rows of Sloan grads nodding off through it.</p>
<p>Of course, that may say more about the Sloanies and their non-stop partying and drinking all through the week leading up to commencement than it says about Bernanke.</p>
