Well, it has all come to a very pleasing end. KIDS out there, expecting to move into college the following spring: many people will say that the transition is very hard, from high school to college, perhaps it is, I do not know. Maybe, for me, it was because I took a...
Being an Active Participant in Your College Campus and Building your Résumé
So April has come and I still cannot believe that this school year is about to end. This is way too cliché, but it feels like yesterday, that I was packing my suitcases and boxes, and I was getting ready to leave home and face the world more on my own. Something I did...
Dial "M" for March and Midterms
