“BOMBERS WEEKLY” COLUMN

The beginning of a new quarter is something weird, knowing it’s going to be the last time I’m here makes everything feel strange. Tension is high as everyone is making sure they don’t have homework for the weekend. Everyone wants to have zero homework while they get ready for festivities.
