If I've ever received a participation trophy, please know that it ended up in the trash. I sure as hell don’t have it now.

It’s literally an area for people who...
The day that I have feared all summer is finally here. It seemed to take forever and no time at all to arrive, but tomorrow I begin my final, and most challenging year of college.
