I took all the prerequisite courses and passed, and I even made it into nursing school. I survived the first semester of Fundamentals of Nursing, and Read More
For those of you who don't know, lit is what all the cool kids are saying these days. It used to be fleek, but now it's lit. Your game is lit. Your makeup is lit. Your shoes are lit.
