We’ve all been there; assignments are piling up, classes are coming to an end, and exam season is looming over us. Stress is at an all-time high.

Looking Back At My Freshman Year
Do you remember when you were 16 years old, walled up in your room at your parents’ house, counting down the days till you moved out on your own? Maybe if you were like me, you just couldn’t wait.

I want to tell you about my experience watching and slightly participating in my roommates’ D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) campaign. Let’s start off with some *background information.
