It’s 2009. Jason Derulo’s “Whatcha Say” tops the charts. Bedazzled Juicy Couture sweatpants and hair feathers are all the rage. Your best friend has somehow gotten her hands on an iPhone while you still have to flip your cell open to type “rawr XD." After school, you catch up on Jersey Shore and Glee, and when it’s almost six o’clock, you start getting ready for the school dance. You’re sporting sparkly Uggs and lipgloss, which of course will get your crush’s attention. You ask your mom to drop you off a block away.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
