Nationally recognized as the official commit day, May 1st is the deadline for enrolling in college for the following fall term. It’s the day where seniors (should) know where they are going next year. In the spirit of this date coming upon us, five seniors agreed to send in their cringey pictures from freshman year and reflect on their past four years while preparing to leave in just a few weeks.
