I handed in my final papers today! So as of 11:59 PM May 7th,
2013, I am DONE with freshmen year. One particular micro blog post I wanted to
share I found during finals season. I think it accurately represents most of me prepping for most of my exams:

The point of this post, though, is to list the books I want
to read this summer. There are a few books I have already bought but never got
around to reading, some recommended by teachers and my dad, and the final couple off a list of 50 books To Read Before You Die. Here goes:
