The funny thing is, Alec Baldwin was supposed to speak to the NYU Class of 2010 when we were freshman, but canceled at the very last minute. I joke with my friends that Alec Baldwin's making up for our freshman year and hopefully he doesn't canceled again. I ended up graduating a year early, so I had Hillary Clinton for my commencement speaker. Super cool, if you ask me.
