"I just can't believe how much fun I'm having right now. They call this an exam, but I feel more like I'm at a party. And not only that, but I'm learning so much at the same time. I just feel so smart and competent as I answer these questions that I could jump up and down. My parents never told me how much fun college was going to be.
