Actually, a lady working at the campus center had been trying to recruitContinueContinue reading “A Summer of Opportunities”

Well readers, at approximately 1:00 on the morning of Tuesday May 4, I clicked send on the final paper for my political theory class, which was also the final assignment for the first half of my college career.
