Being single at our school, however, seems to have the same amount of appeal as falling down a flight of stairs face-first. You see, our campus is suffering from an acute lack of “ready to mingles.”
Most students are weary of adding cable costs to their already long list of expenses, especially when most of the shows they want can be found online for free.
