...essential to master the inevitable “walk of shame” (“stride of pride”?). Limiting your hook-ups to other freshmen makes this experience slightly less cringe-worthy, since the dash home stays within the comforting confines of the Yard. One technique to remain slightly more inconspicuous is to always travel with a long coat to hide everything—or nothing—underneath. Another, albeit riskier, tactic is to embrace your state of post-romp dishevelment and say with a chuckle to a suspecting acquaintance, “Oh, you know...
