#PlanAhead: Week of October 16-20, 2017

UofSC students can breathe a sigh of relief because Fall Break is almost here. Enjoy these few days of calm before the 21 Savage homecoming concert, home football games, and of course, the mountain of impending class projects + exams that await us when we return.

Happy relaxing,

-Anjali
