Freshmen girls giggle at the countertops with their non-fat, sugar-free, mocha chip frozen lattes, biology students converge at desktop computers to browse YouTube instead of their missed lecture videos, and Social Studies 10 types gather in the back with Marx and Durkheim in hand, but who are they kidding...
