UCLA has a tradition where you touch the water in the inverted fountain in South Campus for the first time at orientation, and that's when you officially become a Bruin. However, you can only touch it one more time, and that is after you officially graduate. Legend says that if you touch the water when you're not supposed to, it will add another quarter onto your college career- the same goes for stepping on the sixth step of Janss Steps.
Devan and I both got to touch the water in the fountain after we graduated, and even though to some, it may seem rather insignificant, it was truly awesome. So to all those who are about to graduate this Spring, I'd like to congratulate you on your success, wish you luck in the future, and urge you to touch the water in the inverted fountain.
