It’s almost over! Breathe in deep, pant between pushes, and you’ll be done before you know it. For those of you who are already done with finals: we hate you. Don’t talk to us.

We’re at the height of finals, friends. The beginning is far behind us, and the end is not yet in sight. Our rooms are swamped with notes and trash, and we dread the day we must pack up and leave. Butler is swamped with notes and trash, and we anticipate the day we must pack up […]

Trying To Do The “Responsible” Thing: […]
