It was a little hard to remember everything we had gone over during the semester. I finally had to flip through the book to make sure I didn’t forget anything. I felt like some of the chapters didn’t apply to me like the chapter about drugs‚ but then I remembered my almost addiction to the most used drug in society. I drink way too much coffee.
