    Oh, THAT girl. How do I even begin to describe her? She’s over-the-top, confusing, hilarious, annoying, and embarrassing. A night out at college really is not complete without THAT girl’s debauchery. Sometimes I’m not sure how she does it, but to be sure, I do not want to learn how.

    The Weekly Ten: Most Common (and Regrettable) Party Pictures

    This week I’m focusing on the “click click flash” that consumes your weekend.
