So we’re all back to the grind now. I’ve been busy searching the internet for used text books, waiting in line at the book store, and just trying to get back into my routine. It’s pretty much business as usual. This…
Fake it ’till Ya Make It
Welcome back to mayhem. For me, the winter break has been one of rest and relaxation, balanced with an above average daily intake of food. While my mind is somewhat ready to get back to classes, my body is not…
