Senior Sentimentality
It’s hard not to be sentimental when you’re two weeks away from graduating college. The chances of me going back to school are slim-to-none. So a strange reality has started to soak in: I’m not about to get out of school and have that summer fling, job, fun, etc. for 3 months and then get right back to it. No, that was just my life for the past 21 years (except the first few, and...

I shock society by sipping on moonshine in a short skirt at a Gatsby-esque party;
I fight to survive with the strength of a woman in the 1930s;
