Reading Time: 3 minutesFour years ago, if you told me that my college years would’ve been like this, I would’ve looked at you like you had 10 heads. And no, I’m not talking about a certain virus that shall not be named (entirely). I’m alluding to all of the things that I’ve accomplished......

Reading Time: 2 minutesMATTHEW BAUM Scallion Editor Hello, all of my loving fans. It’s heartbreaking, I know. None of the articles were written by yours truly this week.
