  Many people believe that one's senior year of college is similar to one's senior year of high school. You rule the campus, go to class whenever you want, leisurely do your school work, stay out late and often and essentially throw all caution to the wind. For many seniors and my fellow ...

So to start: WOW! THE SEMESTER IS ALMOST OVER! Okay, now that I have moved past the initial five seconds of excitement: OH MAN! THE SEMESTER IS ALMOST OVER! (If you could not tell, that was the voice of a panicked student with lots of big deadlines. Just thought I'd ...

It really is hard to believe that we are already in our third week of school! (And I'm still motivated!) I have to be honest, by this point in the semester I usually have to force myself to attend class. It really is a shameful thing. However, this semester has ...

Those finals are finally over! Now, I am looking forward for a long break and relax with my family down in Texas. It was a special semester for me because it was my last season as the goalkeeper for the men's soccer team. The truth is that things must come ...
