Throwback: The Graduation Experience
Graduation season is now upon us, and this weekend many of the remaining members of my UWRF kin, my boyfriend included, will be walking across a cheap high school stage at 9:00 a.m. on a Sunday, because that’s the best the University could do this year.

Throwback Post #1
What’s that you say? “You’ve been blogging for a total of one day. You simply are not allowed a throwback post!” Oh wait, you can’t say anything if you don’t even exist. That’s the beauty of having zero readers except for your mother and that one friend who feels like she has to be supportive…
