So excited that I started my last semester in college today. It s been a long time coming, but honestly seems like it went by fast contrary to how I might feel once the semester progresses lol. There is a book missing in this picture for my 6th class because it is a loose leaf book(dumb idea) and its just in a 3 ring binder. Good luck to anyone enrolled this semester!
