I am the same age as Mitch Kramer, and while he is smoking weed, buying beer, making out with girls, and hanging out with seniors on his last day of freshman year, I am spending mine on the couch with my mom watching him do so in Dazed and Confused. Freshly fifteen, sitting inside with my mom while everyone else I know it at the beach is certainly not my ideal last day of school.
