WHY IS THIS CAMPUS
SO BLAH?

Those who are busy, those
who say they are busy, the

Are "just too cool" to go,
are the different types of
college students who don't

people do?

every adult in the "real

all youAO is drink and

For a minute, think
about some emotions.
List them in your head.
What do you come up
with? Happiness,
sadness, anger, disgust,

called "love." For the

I was going to look
the term up in the
dictionary-write it
