Every once in a few years, college students are met with a blessing unlike anything more appropriate to their youth: Halloween happens to fall on a weekend. Not that it matters if it’s on a Monday or a Wednesday, but let’s face it, binge drinking comes with responsibilities (such as crawling to your class in [...]

Want a fool-proof conversation starter? Wear a shirt with the words “Do you Jerk in private?” along the back in a foreign country known for its rowdy, drunken antics.
