I've been home for a week, and I've got to say, it has never felt so good. This week, I have done all the things I didn't have time to do over the quarter, like drawing, writing, catching up with old friends, and best of all, sleeping. I forgot what it was like to sleep…Read more There’s No Place Like Home

Maybe it's just the way time passes, but 11 weeks later, and I'm headed back home again. My finals for this quarter finished up on Tuesday and I am officially 2/3 the way through my freshman year.

My parents have raised me to be intelligent in every way possible, responsible for the mistakes I make, and strong enough to push past anything that may hold me back. They told me that…Read more Strong Independent Black Woman
