8 min readThis will be long. Might be long. I don’t know for certain yet. If you happen to be reading this, I hope you read it to the end. I can’t guarantee you will find any moral lesson in my writing. It will probably contain a ton of anecdotes from my (mis)adventures this year, mostly concerning…
2 min read Last Sunday was the 5thyear anniversary of my graduation from UP. The day prior, just as fittingly, I met up with my best college buddies and wandered around our vast campus gleefully reminiscing the years we were there.
