SELL OUTThe Good Ol' Days

This half of gossip desk remembers this moment clearly: He was sitting at home, summer after freshman year, when he received a list of peer advisees that he would shepard into the upcoming years of Medill, initiating them to all the wonder and glory and, yes, fear that was impending. He fielded IM convesations, banal packing requests and even the rogue question about hooking up with your writing professor to get ahead; in the end, he was left satisfied.

Word has it that this season is once again upon us. And loyal readers of gossipdesk (all 32 of you and counting), we need your help. Send any hilarious questions, banter, or peer-advisor influenced queries that your youngins send your way to thegossipdesk@gmail.com. I'll post the best questions and respond to them in a less-than-Medill way. C'mon, it'll be fun (and anonymous). And like all those other "real" blogs out there, it might even turn into a regular feature.

Plus, Kassner could use some advice about snagging the ladies. Me? I want a trip down memory lane. At this point, the only thing I have to look forward to is my roommate cleaning his discarded pubic hair off the toilet bowl.
