Seeing as I'm graduating college in 11 days, I wanted to share with you the things I've learned here at the U. I was going to compile an extensive list that thoroughly explained the good and bad habits I've picked up over the last four years, knowing that some underclassman out there might find it useful. I thought, "You know, I could actually better somebody's college experience." To be honest, I don't really remember what it was like to be an underclassman. So instead, I wrote a haiku about what life is like as a senior. Yep, a haiku. Because they're easy and I have too much work to do. Enjoy.
