The World Stopped for 2 Minutes
As the semester is quickly approaching the end of the session, I have grasped a better value of what is important to me here and how I want to end the last couple weeks I have here. It is important that I strengthen the bonds I have with many of my new best friends and try to make more meaningful friendships with the people who I don’t know as well. I am excited to see where these next few weeks take me and hope to continue on making incredible memories.Read More

Not to mention the songs being played in the background.Read More
