Local Pre-Law Student Mourned by All

The entire UCSD community is in mourning following the loss of local pre-law student, Shmexter Shmamilton. Known by his peers as “the kindest, funniest, most-stressed person they know,” Shmamilton moved on, leaving every person who knew him with a heart full of sadness.

“I’ve only known Shmexter for a little more than a year,” said one student, Kate Monroe, “but I would easily consider him one of my closest friends. I’ll never forget how he would snap me every night with a low-quality picture of himself trying not to cry.”

Before his passing, Shmamilton was known around campus for his “kind heart” and his “constantly anxious demeanor.” Upon hearing news of his passing, one of Shmamilton’s professors remarked, “I saw that guy maybe one time in class. Whenever he actually submitted his work, it was decent, I guess. To be honest though, he barely passed my class. I’m gonna miss that kid.”

Monroe and others will be holding an online memorial for Shmamilton over Zoom next Sunday. Prominent decorations will include a Zoom background proclaiming “Everything is fine,” and a mirror selfie of Shmexter surrounded by candles.
