We made it. We only have finals left and then it’s summer here at UW-La Crosse! Can you believe it? Time flies by so quickly, so it’s important to always make the most of things. I will be a senior come fall and you better believe I am going to try to make this summer memorable, no matter what I might be doing. A fun thing to do might be making a summer bucket list by writing down a list of things, trying to complete it all and documenting your trials with pictures in a scrapbook or on Instagram!
