We did it, folks! Senior year is upon us! I can already tell that this year is going to be a vastly different experience than any that came before. I went back to school on July 17th (which, if you’re not from Arizona, will sound crazy). The problem is, when it’s 120 degrees outside, there isn’t much to do anyway, so we might as well be in school and get longer breaks during cooler seasons. This year, I only have a half day, and that has definitely made an impact on my daily life.
