As the air in Hanover grows numbingly cold and you begin to feel that if you leave your bed the universe will implode, it’s easy to become a hermit. You can have deep conversations on BlitzMail while you look at tagged pictures of your friends without ever having to put on shoes.

Before I even saw Superbad, my friends had quoted the entire movie to me. Just like McLovin and Evan, I would be starting Dartmouth that fall, and the unavoidable follow-up question to “Where are you going to college?” immediately became, “Have you seen Superbad yet?”
