My summer is officially ending. I am back in Berkeley starting training for my campus job. My monitor is slightly discolored in the corner of my screen. And my desktop refused to turn on for about 15 minutes until I gave it a hug.

And it\’s my senior year of college. It\’s interesting to compare to the moment before I started senior year in high school. Four years ago, I was thinking how the upcoming year would be so much different. So much better. And now I am thinking the same thing.

MEMORIES OF THE SUMMER
