In Defense Of: 209

By Bwog Staff on Nov 23, 2013 1 Comments

While waiting for a class this week, Bwog overheard a group of TAs for a class on Buddhism talking about their students. First TA: “They’re grumpy because they don’t get any sleep and it’s also a side effect of the Adderall. You can always tell when you’re reading an Adderall paper—they think we can’t tell, […]
