We're realizing we haven't attended enough class to actually pass our first exams, we've officially lost all of our school supplies and our back-to-school haircuts have morphed from shaggy-chic to somewhere in between mullet, puffball or worse. Basically, we miss our moms. If our hectic schedules allowed us to jet home for the weekend, we'd run into the arms of the women who would point us to scrapbooks of our previous academic achievements, take us to Target and buy us some Dixon Ticonderogas and remind us that we're not feral, despite our disheveled appearances.

In nearly every college student's life comes a rite of passage. There is nothing super sweet about this particular passage, which might cause your stomach to sink faster than if you had overslept through a microeconomics final. I'm talking about STD testing here, you wild scoundrels.

I have enjoyed the hectic media buzz surrounding the widespread condemnation of ACORN - the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - workers over the last few weeks.
