Gone are the days of hitting the snooze button and cutting that earlymorning history lecture. Forever passed are the late nights of copying your friend’s calculus notes to cram for midterms. This is your first big-boy apartment — in what may be an unfamiliar, seemingly gigantic city; at the center of what may now seem the completely foreign and overwhelming maze of your new existence.
