Are you a student? Then you should FLOAT!
Seven years. Seven LONG years of University. From sciences to forensic sciences and finally chemical-environmental engineering. I always thought that I was going to be an environmental crusader and save the world, one tree hug at a time.

Taran’s Update From The Road
