Well, Insomnia has finally hit New Haven, and Yalies are responding as though they’d never seen a cookie before (seriously, guys, you do realize that literally thousands of these things are served in the dining hall every day, right?). Faced with such overwhelming baked-goods-madness, I obviously had no choice but to succumb to the hysteria …
