It was small, miniscule to the average eye, but still Clara frowned at the unsatisfying line that crossed her reflection.

And I stood by that mantra the entire summer, until August 12th, when I realized I was down to 13 days before I left for Princeton and had narrowed down a grand total of 0 items that would be making the trip with me. I began by rummaging through my jumbled desk drawer’s lifetime of papers. Spanish final, highlighters, ACT practice workbook, ca...
