"The moving cursor writes, and having written, blinks on." ~Dave BarryGuilt. It's the main reason we fall out of touch. Maybe you have a friend from college that you forgot to email back...three years ago. Now it's just awkward. Or, you haven't had time to keep in touch with that professor who wrote your recommendation for law school, and now you'd like to ask her advice again.
Soon, you will have the perfect excuse to send that procrastinated email! Several people have asked me what happens to the buffalo.edu email addresses after graduation. The CIT help desk informs me that they will still be active for six months, and will continue to forward to a new address for another six months. You can also sign up for a free lifetime forwarding address through the UB Alumni Association. There's a pretty clear explanation of the policy here.The bottom line is that you will have a year to phase out your buffalo.edu address. It's great excuse to recontact old friends, family, professional contacts, and even pending job applications. "Here's my new email address," can be a wonderful ice-breaker to rekindle all kinds of communications! I think you'll find the guilt was unwarranted, and that people will be delighted to hear from you.
