Jeremy Rishel went nuts one weekend, charging full tilt from party to party. But by Monday morning, he realized maybe he should have taken things a little slower.

Connie Varlotta was raising four children alone at a time when women were not respected enough and were seen as property and not people. She was a mother, a father and the provider for her family and was forced to stand on her own two feet. In her situation she could either make it or not -- she did.

Like any Penn State student, they too have labored through the fall and now the spring. Back in August, they set goals for themselves.
