My Life Now vs. Last Year

Wow, my life is so different right now compared to how it was just a year ago. If I didn’t transfer to NYU from SJU, I would probably still be on my old lifestyle. By the way, I did go back to the Everyman Sleep Schedule. There’s just no way I can get everything done otherwise, [...]
