It is understandable that college students want to live the next few years carefree. If they do want to worry about anything, it is usually about something in the near future. I mirror the same sentiment myself. I would much rather worry about homework or my social endeavors as opposed to something that is bound.

(TNS) As Zillah High School students entered the front campus doors to have their temperatures checked before heading to class Monday morning, school staff greeted them by name and offered encouragement to students who had recently improved their grades.
After just nine days of returning to campus for part-time in-person learning, failing grades among students had dropped by 14 percent, according to data from the high school.
As WSU considers making in-person courses available for the fall semester, incoming freshmen are preparing to make the transition from their hometown to Pullman.
Kaia Lindstrand, Zillah High School senior, said she is choosing to attend WSU because she has always loved the atmosphere. She said she lives in a split household, her mom was a Cougar and her dad was a Husky, but she has always loved WSU’s campus.
“I’ve been to campus quite a few times for band concerts,” she said. “It kind of feels like a home away from home and I really like it.”
