The truth behind freshmen lies
Within the past two weeks or so, I’ve found myself wondering where the time has gone and how a day can go by so quickly. As spring quarter quickly comes to a close, everything just seems to go by so much more quickly: Midterms came up sooner than expected, the weeks are constantly flying by […]
Clean out more than just your room this spring
Half of spring quarter has already flown by and midterms have decided to grace us with their unwelcomed presence — especially this quarter. So with nothing else but midterms on my mind, I decided to be productive and do a little spring cleaning. Maybe this isn’t exactly the best way to be productive, but I’m […]

Surviving dead week
It’s the beginning of dead week. I really don’t think anything else needs to be said because we all know what this accurately-named week entails: caffeine, all-nighters (though I’ve yet to pull one) and books on books on books (had to do it).
