Four years ago, it was unimaginable that school could get any more stressful than the first quarter of freshman year. Somehow, we got through four years of finals, projects, and late night study sessions and we can see that bachelor's degree at the end of the road. Now that it’s year four, what do we have to do to keep ourselves strong during our last stretch? “It’s starting to get real,” said fourth year CSUSB student Nhi Nyguen. “I’m having to look at grad schools more seriously now and I know there’s no room for error this time around.
