When you were gearing up to head off to the Ivy League this school year, you felt it in your bones: I'm in the big league, no more playing kindergarten games. You stocked up on school supplies because you knew that with being president of the debate team, taking graduate level courses at the School of Management, lobbying Congress on the weekends, tutoring, and chilling with Guitar Hero in your free time that you would never have the time to stop at the bookstore for more.
