Purdue

For all of you who want to know what it is like to go to a secular school when you turn twenty-one, I will give you a brief glimpse.

From PUSH (Purdue University Student Health) - I received a letter telling me to try not to die on my twenty-first birthday along with a nifty wallet card explaining what to do in case I overdose on alcohol.

From Hilltop (My University Residence Hall) - I received a sucker and a birthday card telling me not to let myself die on my twenty-first birthday.

From Purdue - I received a very long fact sheet about the dangers of alcohol and they also told me that 21 shots in 21 minutes is not a tradition, its just plain stupid.

Apparently, I am supposed to go out an get wasted tonight. Thanks Purdue for making sure I got the memo in time.... (for those of you who can't tell, this is dripping with sarcasm)

Granted, I am glad that Purdue is taking time to warn people. But it is a sad state of affairs that this even needs to happen.


By the way, thank you for all of the birthday wishes I received today!
