Ah, the first semester of freshman year at liberal arts college. What ecstasy! And in more ways than one, am I right fellas? Well for eighteen-year-old Greta, the heroine of our story, the endless buffets and weed and cigarettes and sex and happiness and friendship and freedom may not be all that it appears. Or-wait, that does sound pretty awesome. Have we thought that maybe this is just a happy story? That would be sick.
