Lauren Cherry Editor I have put off writing this farewell for as long as humanly possible but alas printing time is quickly approaching so here it goes. My time here began here at the start of my sophomore year so I have some trouble recalling my life at this university before the Carolinian. A large part of my college career has … Continue reading Farewell
