Base z-index — SASS to the rescue!

Zack Shapiro: 9 things I wish someone had told me about life after college

zackshapiro:

The last two years of high school every teacher talked about getting us ready for college. I guess they did a good job because the transition to college was relatively painless. I packed up all of my stuff and moved to Boulder but for the most part, transitioning was easy.

Nobody talks about…
