The thing that gets me about all beers and most wines so far, (besides just generally bad taste), is the smell. And the first thing people keep telling…

There are things I will miss about college. I dont think any of them have to do with class. I did learn a few things, but I coulda…
I never expected anything normal at college. Everyone has seen Animal House, or some other cheesy frat/college/20something movie. In fact, I revel in the notion that I am…
