Janie’s case, though unique, is just one of many in a broad array of experiences among students subject to leaves of absence. According to the 2009 Student Handbook, students may be asked to consider a leave of absence for a host of reasons, including medical health, criminal behavior, outstanding debt to the College, risk to the community, incomplete courses or unfulfilled requirements, failure to submit proof of immunization records, or failure to register for a term...
...awkward squat just to take a shot. Apparently nobody has come up with the idea to prop an ice luge up to allow for standing luge runs.

Also online, often in the same detail that the professor spends on it for an hour on the first day. “Does this class have a midterm?” Why, yes, if you had looked online, you’d know that...
