Sometimes, when two adults are involved in a petty conflict, you might hear someone remark that the situation is "just like high school."
Sadly, at a certain point you realize that for many people, life is like high school, and grades 9-12 were just their first exposure to all that back-biting and social manipulation.
Well, another summer is almost at an end.
It's a bummer in many respects, but fall offers much to look forward to -- the return of football, memes about how much pumpkin spice flavoring sucks, and of course, a new season of Vanderpump Rules.

We're finding out an awful lot about Stassi Schroeder this week, and the Vanderpump Rules star's long-awaited memoir is still two weeks away.
