Spree Day

Spree day, a celebration of surviving another year of college. At FSC, this consists of everyone waking up earlier then they probably have all year, getting wasted--then going to their last classes of the semester. But drinkers beware: They are crackin' down this year... Which I don't fully understand where this is coming from.

Usually a crack down is caused by serious and tragic events prior to the occasion. Last time I checked, nothing horrific happened last year. We're a small campus I feel like if something like destruction or death occurred... I'd know about it. Also, the only reasons we have been in the news this year have been the following:

Many students being jumped by locals
The famous norovirus that plagued our students

None of these things truly relate to alcohol. Locals are going to jump whoever they want regardless if the victim is sober. I understand this is the safety of our students, but safety should always be an issue. Campus police shouldn't be so reluctant to give rides to students who worry about their safety. And I think I should see campus popo constantly, more then on Thursday nights--or in this case Spree Day.

Anyway they are cracking down, this means they will be stopping you if you carry a backpack, which I will be because I have class all day and live off campus. I recommend staying calm, they are only doing their job after all. If you are found with alcohol, or they believe you to be drunk you WILL be taking a ride in a Paddy Wagon and they WILL be taking your fingerprints.

Also, stay with someone at all times, watch out for each other, and watch your drink if you choose to participate. And remember that you don't have to-- you CAN celebrate in another way.

Either way enjoy your day and be safe.. And aware.
