Day in and day out we question why on earth we decided to go to school in the first place. And each day, the same old silly, hopeless, confused, stressed, happy, angry, struggling thoughts pop into our heads and we're still waiting on figuring out the answers to some of these one day.

We know for sure, some day down the road we'll be saying that our college years were "the glory days" and we'll miss it constantly. And regardless of these random nonsensical thoughts that pop into our minds every single day, we're happy and thankful to be given the opportunity to be able to go to college and make a difference one day, even if day in and day out we question our existence and purpose overall.
