While that assertion is questionable at best, I truly do believe it whenever I go to the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Most days, I find myself in the basement of the Bryan Center eating a sausage McGriddle from Mcdonald’s while trying to rush to class. I don’t dream about the school paper but I read it from time to time.
