Life holds a series of setbacks; every day we deal with problems that affect us on a personal level. In my four years of college, I have definitely had my fair share of setbacks through athletics and my living arrangements at Saint Peter’s University. My freshman year, I came from a slow, quiet suburban childhood into the fast and nonstop environment of Jersey City.
