The thing about beginnings and endings is that you can always count on them.

Even though I didn't know what my time at Cal U would be like, I knew one day

it would come to an end.

But we focus so much on life's big moments.

The triumphs.

The failures.

And the lessons learned.

That we forget the story we're really telling is written in the in-between.

With the people you realize mean the most to you.

To many, this piece of paper is a symbol of completion.

But to me...

It's a reminder of the life lessons I learned while I was here.

As this chapter comes to a close, I cannot wait to start a new one.

I still can't believe that I hustled my way into working with Rich Paul at

Clutch Sports.

Tonight is the night. Everything is going to go up. My graduation party is

going to go off like I am going to war.

It is going to be one for the books. And if I don't wake up and my car is

missing, I'm severely dehydrated, and one of my teeth is loose, Then somebody

ain't do their job right.

Hey, Rich.

Thank you for giving me a call. Yeah, your boy just graduated.

Ah, that's why you've been in my head. Check your emails and hit me back.

You started work an hour ago.

Hey!

Congratulations, graduate.

Thank you.

You have the rest of your life ahead of you, no matter how tragic it may end up

or how depressed you may be.

I'm so glad they didn't let you give the commencement address.

Look, I know last night was rough, and you haven't spoken or seen Zoe since...

I'm so humiliated, man. I am.

And if we weren't roommates, I would have kept this to myself. So I'm sorry,

but it is what it is. I mean, you kind of played your cards when you bumped. I

don't put you and burned all of her pictures on our stovetop, but, you

know... You heard that? I did.

You know what? Come with me.

Come with me. I've just been reminded that Clutch Sports now owns my ass since

I've graduated, and apparently I start working today.

Oh. We've got a client trying to sell his yacht before Kim Kardashian ex-wife

can snatch it back up for his ex. Hmm.

But it could be nice to get a change of scenery.

I don't know, man.

You know, I don't think the cure for heartbreak is seasickness.

Bro, we're not even going to leave the dock.

Okay? It'll be nice. I'll just pop by. We'll get some fresh air. It'll be

great.

Can we stop by In-N-Out on the way there? And on the way back?

Of course we can, buddy. Okay, thank you. I'm in.

It's been 16 hours since I bailed on Aaron. And 16 hours since I beat out

every other contender for the title Wackest Bitch on Earth.

Was leaving straight from Andre's graduation to celebrate this win with a

mid-morning margarita my smartest move?

Absolutely not, but I'm clearly not thinking straight.

There she is, our beautiful bride-to-be.

Hi. Congratulations.

Come on.

My wedding gift to you is a prenup free of charge. Trust me. No, B. What's up?

We're here to celebrate love.

Luna has more assets than both of them.

Wait, guys, you know I didn't expect almost everybody to be here. You're

welcome. Okay, as for Jazz and Sky, they couldn't make it because they're helping

their dad open his restaurant back east. And as for Luca, he may be doing a GQ

spread for Big Tobacco. I don't know. Okay, well, tell us everything, all

right? You know, we put spirit for this. Spirit, wow.

Well, everything is really nothing because I kind of walked out after he

proposed.

Wow.

The fact that we assume she said yes just because that's what women do under

the crushing weight of patriarchy is toxic of us. I don't know. Love is

complicated. Maybe Aaron proposing was his way of getting them back on track.

Or maybe this healthy gesture because of their history felt unhealthy.

Renee Brown podcast?

No. I know. I mean, you guys know. I love Aaron. That's not a question. But

when he asked me the question, I didn't have a clear answer.

At this moment where I saw our entire lives flash before my eyes.

Then I glitched. Then I ran.

Oh, God. Poor fellow.

Zoe, you know you owe it to Aaron to have a conversation with him, right? I

mean, you can't leave him with emotional blue balls.

Yeah, and you owe me a plane ticket home, Delta One, please.

Gotcha.

It's okay. This cannot be happening.

Hi!

Right on time. What's up?

Wow. Can you pass the phone to Zoe? Oh.

For me? Yeah.

Zoe, I can't let you play stuff like that. Or play us. Oh.

Don't marry that pedestrian. Please.

I love you.

I always loved you.

Are you kidding? Okay, my guy. I haven't talked to you in, what, a year? And

didn't I actually just see your Saudi princess girlfriend during the holidays

truffle harvesting on IG?

That's what I thought. Oh. Right? So we will forever main.

Long distance pals.

All right, cool.

Later. Please take this. Take it, take it, take it. Peace. Love you. Bye. See

you.

Can't blame them for trying.

Wow.

Ah, great.

You found it.

Which one of you is Andre?

That would be me, Gilligan.

That was your one time.

Everybody gets one.

That was yours.

Oh.

Oh, it's Rich. You gonna leave me alone with this guy? Yeah, yeah. Sorry, okay?

Hey, yeah, yeah, I'm here. The appraiser's in route, but this could

take all day. So just post up until you hear otherwise.

And make the boat presentable. Got it. Here we go again, here we go again.

Busting through the door, they don't let us in.

Ready for whatever, cause we on thin.

Here we go again, here we go again.

No way. Andre can't make his party because of work.

Can't he just tell them he has really bad cramps or something? This sucks.

So much for our big gonna-miss-you-getting-on-our-nerves-next-year

send-off. Dude, you only get one graduation.

He can't blow this off. He's earned it.

You've got that TV from your chem lab coming, don't you? No.

Well, he'll still be a graduate next week. Maybe the party happens then. And

then I can actually go instead of having dinner with Zeke and his mom's new

girlfriend. Well, Zara and I, we're gonna be in Portugal, even though Andre

doesn't care if he ever sees me again or not.

trouble and heteronormative paradise?

Guys, Andre is family.

There's no way that he would let this fly if it was any one of us. And I would

hate for him to look back on this time and have any regrets.

This is disgusting.

Oh!

Definitely giving Hunter Biden book club vibes.

You know, I've never been down this bad in such a premium place before.

Yeah. This view is pretty killer though, right? Yeah.

You know what? I'm going to go look at some stuff I'll never be able to afford.

I get after a G.

Hello, sir? The X is on the way. Get off this phone and hide the boat. Right

away.

Hide a boat?

Do I hide a boat?

Excuse me, sir.

How quickly can we drop anchor and get out of here? Well, sir, dropping anchor

means that we don't move. We need to leave immediately.

Right away, sir. Thank you.

Join the Navy, they said.

See the world.

We're good. We got this. We have got this.

Andre!

Am I becoming unglued, or has Zar become my inner voice?

Andre!

What is happening here? You work way too hard to let the days go by, brother. We

in here.

No, no, no, no.

I'm on the clock. We actually can't do this. This is my place of work. My job.

Oh, graduation party on a yacht.

Man, this is my success.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Hey, Andre.

Oh, my God. Andre.

What? Look, okay. What? I know that this may not be how you envisioned your first

day of work. Not at all.

But... Come on, you mean so much to all of us. So let us celebrate you. Okay.

It's fine. It's going to be okay.

Hey, guys, can Fish laugh? Because I could have sworn a dolphin was laughing

at me.

I hate my life.

I hate my friend.

Hey. Hey?

Really? I'm going to need a little bit more than a hey, Zoe.

Ahoy!

Because we're on a boat.

That's supposed to be funny?

What about this is funny? I'm really sorry. I just didn't know what to say.

Okay, here's some options. Something you could have said. Yes. No. Aaron, can we

not do this here? You could have said my parents struggle with her. Anything.

Anything. Let's take a walk. Let's take a walk.

Cheers, Revere. Things are uphill for me as a kid. This is my kind of camp,

Revere. This is my kind of mass appeal. Drink? Drink? Oh, thank you.

Take two.

Well, damn.

Isn't it bad that I'm just as embarrassed about Andre's friends

knowing my business as I am about how much I totally flubbed with Aaron?

Still a monster, though. A damn monster.

Do not say anything.

It's making this so much worse.

I don't know. It's just like, what if I say the wrong thing?

And then he just never speaks to me again. You can't be wrong for telling

someone how you feel. No, but maybe that's the problem. I don't know exactly

how I feel.

Seems like you knew where to start.

Feelings can be a hell of a scary to face, but Aaron's just hurt. He doesn't

hate you.

He might.

Hell, he might.

I appreciate you guys trying to make today special for me, but pulling up on

me like this is not a good look.

Well, um, wasn't my idea, and you seemed fine not seeing me again, so I'm just

gonna go.

My God, you have your whole life ahead of you to suck up to people who wouldn't

spit on you if you were on fire.

This is a moment that you should be present for.

Consider it a laid-back gathering of friends here to honor your

accomplishment. Okay, yeah, enough.

We're here, and we promise to keep things cool. Just enjoy it.

Fine, but adult dinner party vibe, not track and punch vibe.

Aye, aye, sir.

I hear you, bro. I just think a life without Wi-Fi is less complicated than

Zoe. What's complicated, man? Mayor's proposals around the world, and in a yes

or no.

The non-response is just, it's savagery. Well, this feels like a job for the

three amigos.

Oh!

Be amigo.

Fine. You, me, and him. Cheers.

Cheers.

Woo!

Hey!

Who left their blow in the bathroom?

Right. I tricked you, degenerates. I would like to be the first to make a

toast to my BFF, Andre, to the man who suffocated me with his friendship.

But my life would not be as bright without him.

Cheers. Cheers!

And to the only ex who has my back, who I hide a body for, and the only ex that

I don't have locked on IG.

Okay.

I just want to say, I remember telling Andre to not rush through college, and

I'm so glad he listened, because he would have missed out on all of this

love. So, to all of you, thank you so, so much for looking out for my little

brother. I love you.

Oh, you too.

How can you not know anything? You live with Anna. Where's the my girl knows

your girl into?

When I used to live with them, I was like a sleeper cell agent.

Now, Anna treats their tea like a federal pharmaceutical case.

I'm sorry, man. I don't want you to be sorry, man. I want Zoe to care enough

not to have me out here like this. Zoe loves you.

I just think that the whole proposal caught her off guard.

It's literally the only element Mayor's proposals are based on. Nope. People do

crazy things when they get caught off guard. The first time a woman said she

loved me, you know what I said? What?

Do you have any gum? What?

Remember that? Oh, jazz was heated. So what I'm saying is sometimes real

clarity can come from being uncomfortable.

What if that never comes?

That's my fear. Like, what if that day never comes, right? I have to move to

Arizona. I start over, I lock in on a solid place to buy scratchers, and then

I substitute teach.

Teach! Teach! Teach! Teach!

Teach! Teach!

Teach! Teach! Okay, okay, okay, I'll do a speech. I'll do a speech.

This year taught me a lot more than I realized I needed to learn.

I just really appreciate you guys for supporting me.

So here's a toast to lifelong friendship that never changed.

Friendship that never changed.

It's not like how real life works, but damn.

Who left you on read?

The father of my child.

To look back years from now and be locked in with the same college crew is

a pretty big deal. Guys, I mean...

You know, college, it's like summer camp with Pell Grants and UTIs. Your friends

are your entire life, but when you go home, things are different.

Big back.

Come on, bro.

Let's go join the party. Be there for Andre.

This doesn't have to be about Zoe.

How am I supposed to look at her, man?

This shit hurts.

Yeah, I know, bro, but this is real life.

And unless you face it, you're gonna spend your life sitting on a boat,

watching it all pass you by, man.

All I'm saying is that everyone's already on career paths, and we still

find it easy to make time for each other. And that's why you're friends.

It just...

Takes a lot more effort to stay that way. Yeah. I mean, having to find a way

to keep tabs on each other didn't even occur to me until we couldn't catch up

in class. And now, between, what, work and family, self-care, love lives...

With all due, I would just scratch that last one off your list now.

Maybe it's just harder for your generation.

We're a year apart?

If anything, I feel like leaving school would prove that real connections do not

need to be worked at. You know, flow over force.

I mean, it's fair.

Right? I mean, I guess we all talk when it makes sense for each of us.

Sure about that?

You and Anna aren't as close as you used to be. What's that supposed to mean?

It feels to me like Anna and I haven't skipped a beat.

Right, Anna?

Um, we miscarried a few months ago.

Oh.

Are you guys okay?

I'm so sorry.

I haven't reached out. I've been a terrible friend. No, no, no. I would

have told you. I just, you know, everyone's been so busy and I felt weird

reaching out with such heavy news.

After trying to hold it down and deal with things on your own, it's just easy

to forget how blessed we are to have each other.

And I don't want you to ever think I'm too busy.

Let's do that.

Once with the face.

Zoe's friend group has been through literally everything together, and

there's still stuff that they don't share with each other, as close as they

are. Man, it just scared me.

What's the point of having people in your life you can't talk to? Well, I

don't think it's a bad thing to keep some stuff to yourself.

That doesn't mean you're, like, not close with your friends.

Okay, shady ass.

But I'd rather talk things out with you guys than sit with it by myself.

If we can't even get on the same page about what we're comfortable talking

about, how is this going to work when we're in different places?

Maybe Nomi was right. Maybe we're already drifting.

Uh, don't be so dramatic. Everyone is right. Yes, leaving college will make it

harder for you all to be in each other's lives when you have been. But for the

friendships that are worth it, you guys will figure it out. You know, it may not

be perfect, but you're going to find ways to communicate with the people that

you want in your life forever.

Oh, so, uh...

Your advice on communication, that's interesting.

So much of that pep talk.

Aaron, this is not how I wanted this to go.

I'm so sorry.

Off to a good start.

You know, I've really been trying to get my shit together this year.

And not just for work, but for me.

I've been really trying hard to be a less selfish...

a needy, a more balanced person.

Making an apology about yourself, not so hot, though.

I thought we could have, though.

And I'm obviously not there yet.

Facts. Clearly.

So, um, when you asked me to marry you, I freaked out, you know?

What if I put my work in between us again?

Or what if I put you in another impossible situation?

Or worse, what if the person I've been is just as good as it gets with me?

Keep it together.

No. All I know is the only version of me that's any good at all is someone that's

trying to figure life out with you.

Aaron, I don't want a life without you.

I don't want to have one without you.

So does your offer still stand?

Zoe Johnson Will you marry me?

Only if you marry me, Aaron Jackson.

Can we talk?

Yeah.

I know that I owe you an apology.

I thought of this being over before it even started really bummed me out.

That's no excuse, so I'm sorry.

I appreciate you saying that.

I just wanted more time with you.

Andre, Portugal is for summer, okay?

It's not forever.

I know, I know. It's just, we finally started to get things going, and now

it's just vanished about.

Well, the only thing that will be disappearing are my thirst trap DMs I

send you from my Lisbon hotspot.

Okay.

I'm willing to do what it takes to see where this goes.

You're worth the extra effort.

So, expect those naughty DMs to go both ways. Oh, okay. I'm down with that.

After all these years... Erin and I didn't want to wait another moment to

begin the rest of our lives together.

So, with a little help from our friends and a magical sunset, we decided not to.

Power vested in me by the state of California and the Los Angeles power

boating community.

I hereby pronounce you Mr.

and Mrs.

Aaron and Zoe Jackson.

You may kiss the bride.

I'm just tidying up around here, still hitting on the appraiser.

Feels like CPT, am I right?

The boat has cameras.

That work?

Damn.

Look, I know you have to fire me, and there are no excuses, and I can't blame

you, but I just want to say thank you.

Fire? You kept the boat out of Dodge long enough for the client to negotiate

it back.

Plus, Clutch is getting a 2% bump for our strategic services.

Good looking. I'll see you in the morning.

Yes, sir.

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air.

I know I can't count on you.

Sometimes I feel like saying, Lord, I just don't care.

If someone were to write the book of your life, what would you want them to

remember? What would you want them to forget?

They may not get all the names, dates, or details exactly right.

But what's most important is capturing the feelings.

The joy of a win.

The pain of a memory.

The lessons learned.

And the loves of your life.

As our chapters turn to a new start, that is what we'll remember.
