First Semester of Senior Year
Actually didn't suck as much as I thought it would.. Sure, classes were hard, readings were a bit long, I was a bit lazy, but all in all it was a great year and I'm excited to finally be graduating in May with a bachelors in Sociology and Religious studies.. Woot.....
And Thus Ends Round 1
As I'm typing this, I've been home for about three days. My finals started the first day (last friday) and I had three in a row to end on Sunday. All my friends said I was lucky; they were all quite jealous. At the time, it seemed like the worst thing in the world...

Finals Week
One of the most stressful parts of college are finals. It’s the one week where the only thing you do is study all night and nothing else. Every college kid least favorite week is finals week. Having no homework is great but you end up studying all night. Finals...
Finals finally finished!
Finally, finals are over! After a semester of trials and tribulations, college students across the nation are tested with this final obstacle. We are asked to demonstrate everything we have learned over the past 4 months—everything from the study sessions in the...
