Image by Ben Scherjon from Pixabay My College journey is nearing the finish line once again. Today was my last Saturday in class, thank the Lord! Ten hours in class, homework, and assignments, on top of what I was already carrying at work and home, felt like a marathon. Completely draining. I thought this was [...]

Image by Madhana Gopal from Pixabay I'm not ready. I'm so not ready. I feel as if I'm barely keeping up and I'm tired of college. Really really tired.
