So said the subject line of the email Melinda & I received last night from Chloe on the eve of the last night of her first year at college (complete with the emoticon). There was no text to the email, just this photo. Indeed, as of today Chloe is no longer a college freshman but a sophomore.

I wrote to her earlier this week, saying something to that effect, to which she responded, “I’m pretty pumped to be a sophomore! Sad to be leaving… :(”

Sad to be leaving her friends and all the great experiences of a first year at college. Complete with the emoticon.
