Looking Forward from Our Last Week of Classes

It’s the last week of classes. It feels surreal that we are going through another round of “lasts” rather than “firsts.” Last Monday class schedule, last Tuesday internship shuttle, last classes of each course – all these “lasts” feel like they are slipping through my fingers, a fleeting sense that my sophomore year is coming to an end.

Making Music and Memories with Friends I Hold Dear

The frequency of sunny, clear, short-sleeve-long-pants weather is steadily increasing with the occasional dip back into a chilly gray day like today.
