It’s that time of year again, folks, when our greasy, crusty, God-forsaken friends of yesteryear finally resurface from the library and breathe air that’s not carbon monoxide exhaled from 300 year old decaying books. Yes, that’s right, Seniors, you are done with your theses. So in honor of this momentous occasion, TigerMag has compiled some quirky statistics to help you comprehend the gravity of the situation.
The results of the February – April thesis writing period:
300,000 cups of coffee drunk (totaling $900,000 of revenue at Starbucks)

2 babies
