I cannot believe we are inside of five weeks to the end of the year! This year has literally flown by. I still feel like it was just yesterday I lugged my  bags into my white, empty room. Now my room is crammed full of photos, letters, every color imaginable… I have had a great first year, but I still can’t wait for next year, when everything will be totally familiar.

The trees are an especially vibrant green because of all the rain we’ve been getting. Luckily, today is cool and sunny, my favorite weather. We are in the process of electing a new school chair for next year. Sophomores are preparing their course selections for next year. Everything is winding down. There is a sense of excitement mixed with melancholy all around campus…
