The first quarter of the semester has already come to a close! The initial weeks of school were filled with cheerful hellos to friends I hadn’t seen since May, swapping stories from summer jobs and trips. If you’re anything like me, those weeks also involved building a color-coded spreadsheet of every assignment I have this semester. As we enter the second quarter, it’s time to start crossing things off a never-ending to-do list. Papers, presentations, and exams creep closer, and that senior thesis I’ve been thinking about since syllabus day? The first outline is due next week. But while the schoolwork piles up, so do the memories with friends. Anticipation over Parents’ Weekend looms; office hours are frantically scheduled; and coffee becomes a student’s best friend.
