I was the second to last week of the semester and I was walking through campus with a friend. He slipped into the gym where I quickly lost track of him. I wandered through the pop-up market when I bumped into another old friend. He told me how he managed to finish his degree early and was graduating this semester. I asked if he had front-loaded all of his courses or simply took full course loads for his final semesters. I told him about I’d thought about doing the same but it just never happened.
