With the first week of classes comes many things: schedule changes, parking mayhem, the constant repetition of the phrase, “how was your summer,” and of course … the freshmen.

Such and Szuch: Cobalt for Sale!
I have decided that my car is bad luck. I’m not sure what I did, but apparently my possessed, little Cobalt decided it hates me. I generally don’t believe in luck, but after a total of five accidents in the past 15 months, I do. That’s right, it isn’t a typo – five accidents.
