With freshman year winding down and people preparing to head home for the summer, reflection seems inevitable.

Your parents, high school friends, neighbors. Everyone is going to want to know the same things.

What was it like? Were you happy? Was it fun, stressful, scary? To make answering these questions easier, condense it down to three words. To make it even easier, I asked around for you.
