Ah, to be a college freshman again. I feel like my memories of freshman year are starting to fade. I really don’t want that to happen. That year was certainly a crazy one. I probably learned more about life in general in that 9 month period than I have in any other time of my…

On my room allergies. Last night I took a stand. I went to Bed, Bath, & Beyond and bought $90 worth of supplies. A new blanket for my bed, allergy reducing pillow covers, and Antimite. The scariest thing I bought is definitely the Antimite. It claims that it will kill the little bugs that live…
