And so my time at UVA comes to a close.

Well, I will be graduating this year, and unfortunately that means that this blog will be coming to an end. I wish you all luck on your free food adventures!

And don't you worry, I'll be sure to update this post as the numerous study breaks come to fruition over the next two weeks. Happy studying!
