Alcohol Awareness Week

It is Alcohol Awareness Week so there has been many activities around campus. Such as Tuesday night there was a session that I attended: Beer or Liquor Which Makes You Sicker? A cop came in and talked about consequences of drinking such as fines, personal experiences, and answered any questions we had. Than a nurse from the local hospital talked about what happens to people that come in for alcohol poisoning. WOW, quite disturbing about all the tubes that go into you during that process and what not, oh my.

So each year over 1400 college students die from alcohol and alcohol-related causes. In remembrance of those whose lives have been cut short by alcohol a psychology class and loads of people that helped, set and lit 1400 luminaries in a project called Extinguished Lives. Also they set up the candles to spell the letters TC. I thought it was really cool and a good idea. It looked really good but it was also saddening to think that each of those candles represented someone who died so young.

Other than that, we had our first playoff game in flag football Monday, and we won so that was sweet. There was a cool play where they had just scored so we got the ball with 2 seconds left in the half. So Zack threw the ball deep to Ryan who caught it and ran to the side, and I yelled to him to pitch it back, he did and I was able to run into the end zone for the score-which gave us a touchdown lead. It was a pretty sick play. Than Wednesday there was a 3 on 3 tournament, and actually we (Tyler and Colin) won the tournament. We were nasty and even beat this team in the championship that had a 6'5" and a 6'6" kid. I was pretty pumped we won the tournament since we were just a freshmen team. -But Thanks for reading
