It was a seasonably pleasant November afternoon on campus. At 17, I fancied myself a photographer and always made a point to keep my camera on my person just in case the perfect shot would line up for me. Even when I didn’t quite have the “perfect” shot, campus during the Fall semester always had…
It might be challenging to live with someone new! I’ve had more than a few roommates over my college career, and some of them were my greatest friends. However, it’s not always easy adjusting to a new life away from home, and it’s possible to get on each other’s nerves at times. However, you can…
