Birthday sparks Wahoo memories

Add one tequila shot, a Starrhill Pale and then the bill, and you've got yourself a recipe for some 'mmm good anticlimactic stew. I can still be relatively thankful for my luck this week, having just a single test to study for.

Lauren Seeliger and Brandon Kile, two third-year Cavalier Daily News writers, discuss the impact of the student housing frenzy on both University students and the Charlottesville community.
