The End of the Semester

I was going to try doing this every month, but College is difficult sometimes!
Anyways, as a reflection of my first semester here at Washington College I created a "What I Learned in College" List of some of the things I learned while here, and I have learned a lot about myself, other people, and life in general... So yeah!
