I, for one, have found solace in excessive materialism—gorging on takeout, buying a DVD player, sitting on my bed while I read Fifteen Minutes, munching on a bag of day-old popcorn and listen to Mean Girls blaring in the background.

...Adams. When it’s miserable outside, or when it’s exam time—and walking to Annenberg simply isn’t an option for Dartboard—many first-years will have to wash their board money down the drain and order takeout from the Kong. Whereas Dartboard used to frequent Adams during winter snowstorms, he’ll now be forced to seek pay-for food in bad weather. Hurt by the new policy, Dartboard feels first-years should have been consulted in the decision-making process...
