I wasn’t the only fairly angelic freshman who fell hopelessly for pot-smoking artist after self-victimizing valium addict after self-absorbed athlete. To this day, my friends are still running back to the same foul-mouthed failures who only text after 2 a.m. and won’t wash their bed-sheets unless we provide the Shout.Some think it’s simply danger that draws...
