Frosh week hookups are inevitable, and besides, they’re a lot of fun — but committing floorcest is a 101 Week taboo. Is the convenience worth the consequences?
For many, the warm weather and excitement of an outdoor movie was enough to entice them to attend the showing. For others, the movie was a viable alternative to 101 Week activities that didn’t interest them.
The majority of the criticism was directed at French Montana himself.
