As I drove back to Duke after Thanksgiving on I-95, passing by the lush, bountiful and exciting scenery that constitutes the southeastern seaboard, I came to several glaring conclusions, pieced together partially from a sea of billboards—one being that I can’t really give a convincing lie when I attempt to describe a cesspool.

Little do they know that this freshman, and by freshman I mean senior who bought his own baby blue-covered iPod, was already running late for class and hardly ready to start the year. Welcome to the final season of the Class of 2005.
