It’s All Over. How I Survived Finals.
Dec. 13, 2012—Today, I am coming to you from my kitchen table in warm and sunny Miami Beach. I'm sorry to brag, but nothing compares to the euphoria of finishing finals each semester.

The Sound of Silence
Dec. 9, 2011—“The Sound of Silence” is a classic folk song of the 60s written by Paul Simon of Simon & Garfunkel as a response to the 1963 assassination of John F.
