From NYC to Miami!

Week 6 & Finals
It’s week 6! This term has gone by so quickly, and most of next week will be spent studying for finals. Most W students haven’t found the term system to be too overwhelming and stressful.

Three Lessons…
Hi! Today I wanted to dedicate my post to discussing my personal growth in college. After 2 years in college, I think I’ve learned so much about the world, other people, and myself.
