College is a time for experimentation. Trying new things and learning about subjects you didn't know about. It's also a time when you experience the wider world, meeting people from around the country, comparing what's the same and different where you're from and where they're from, expanding your horizons. And sometimes it's a time to do things you've only heard about but don't really know what they mean. Because that always works out for the best.

Quote of the Week

Girl #2: “You want to go what?”
Girl #1: “I want to go big. You know how the boys are always saying ‘Go big or go home.’”
Girl #2: “Yeah ...”
Girl #1: “Well, I don't know what it means, but I want to do it. On Sunday.”

After the jump, modern religion, salad, and complicated nose equations.
