Wrapping up my summer in 500 words is possible however, it won’t fully represent how I feel about it. This summer already feels overwhelming.Trying to figure out my life is frustrating. I feel both physically and mentally exhausted. I haven’t had a break to myself. Right when school ended in May I began working the…
Rather than the typical I-Cannot-Believe-My-First-Year-of-College-is-Over post, I would like to share my thoughts and concepts from classes that I believe changed my perspective on education.
