A UC Irvine sweatshirt has many functions. Besides providing warmth, coziness and a chance to display your Anteater pride, it can be a very handy solution for weeks of laundry procrastination. Moreover, your college sweatshirt is one of the key ingredients in the quadruple-decker cake that is your university experience. So what happens when that key ingredient is tainted?

Two weeks ago, I argued that UC Irvine, or Irvine in general, is not as boring as it seems. There are places you can go to have a good time; all you have do is a little research.
