The impeding date of graduation makes me feel as if I’m being led on stage for an unprepared yet complicated performance. I’m just not ready. It’s not that I have a bleak or unknown future ahead...

Something inside of me has shifted since I started at Boston University. Okay, many things about me have shifted (including my waist measurement, unfortunately), but I’m just realizing in my last month...
