the senior condition:
Jacross anuary brings new hopes and insight. Countless projects and renovations took place campus in the quiet emptiness of the Winter Break. Students returning for a new (and sometimes final semester) were greated by things both new and familiar. The Southerner caught up with four students in the first days of the new semester. Our two seniors were asked about the feelings, anxiety, and excitement they felt as they approached their last days here at Southern Miss.
