So, this is it. You're in the home stretch, my friends.

You're in your final semester of childhood. It's insane, I know. Time is going to fly by faster than you ever could have imagined it would. It's the little moments and the seemingly insignificant memories you're going to miss the most. The spontaneous nights with lifelong friends, or the thought-provoking conversations with teachers. The bus rides home with teammates, or the laughs shared with classmates. Make lots of moments, have a TON of fun. Here are a couple of tidbits of advice I gathered from my now washed-up-freshmen-in-college friends. Enjoy.
