By the same token, if you don't write specifically enough and you have generic Anywhere U.S.A., then nobody feels anything. The whole bottom drops out of the story...
That’s right, guys. Your grade isn’t the only thing that is going to suffer from those late nights staring at the computer screen pretending to write your tutorial paper. After Dr. Jensen’s talk, Take Back the Night will hold its kick-off event in Ticknor Lounge. No fun porn statistics to learn about, but there will be pizza...
