The time has officially started: the firsts of the lasts. As the year begins, seniors don’t want to forget a thing to do while they’re still a student. Don’t cry yet, there is still a lot of time to cherish a football season, to soak in the hike up Beaver for one more year and to make the most of your time in Happy Valley.
