You know how sometimes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, then it hits you, like, damn life is good after all! Here I am, in the lounge in my friends’ dorm (the sort of lounge with wooden flooring/paneling, beautiful fireplace, mood lighting, large armchairs, like something from an Enid Blyton book), slumped low on […]

Tomorrow morning the residence halls will be closed to anyone who didn’t sign up for winter break housing, and almost all my friends will be leaving to the airport at some ungodly hour like 6AM or something. There will be […]
