Picture this: you're four Natty lights deep, hanging in your off-campus apartment and reminiscing with roommates about that thing that happened freshman year. (You know the one.) You're doing an awesome job at fighting off the impending doom that is real life, and then it happens. Some idiot decides to play that godforsaken Vitamin C song, "Graduation (Friends Forever)," off his iPhone -- or worse, some bro whips out an acoustic guitar and starts covering Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time Of Your LIfe)." This is a buzzkill.
