How Do I Say Goodbye?; A Farewell to Campus Recreation and my Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, & Senior Selves by Kendall Bousquet

How Do I Say Goodbye?; A Farewell to Campus Recreation and my Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, & Senior Selves by Kendall Bousquet

New Blog! ✨


Hi, I'm Kendall, and for the past year, I have been the one running this social media account! But now I'm graduating, and thought I would leave with some parting words.


In this week's blog entitled How Do I Say Goodbye?; A Farewell to Campus Recreation and my Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, & Senior Selves, I share what I wish I could tell my past college selves. 


Whether you are an incoming freshman, a rising sophomore or junior, or gearing up for your big year of being a senior, I share my thoughts in hopes that maybe these are the words you will someday need to hear, that you wish you had head some time ago, or that you need to hear right now. 💙

So here's my shout out to them: Thanks guys, this blog is dedicated to you both
