  • academics and kraft: a bittersweet story

    I’m in my fourth year at The University. I’ve been enrolled in over many more classes than required for my degree. I could graduate this summer, if it wasn’t for one particular subject which is neither my major or my minor. I’m simply tired of it. I work 30 hours a week now doing something…
