College is sort of like a roller coaster. A roller coaster with unexpected ups and downs. Let me tell you, my Sophomore year of college has been a transformative year so far. I’m pretty sure I have experienced the whole range of the spectrum. Phase 1: I got accepted...
Returning back to the school grind after a very long break can be one of the most difficult things a college student has to face. I go to school a little under 3000 miles from home. Consequently, I get homesick. That’s to be expected, right? The first semester as a...
