We just want students to remember the parents, children and elderly that also live amongst you. Being drunk is not an excuse for losing good judgement. It may seem like fun to harass someone, but just remember how you would feel if someone stood in front of your house behaving the way so many students do when they are drunk. When you pass by their houses on the way back from Canalside and feel spirited, just remember how it would feel to be jolted from your sleep by someone screaming obscenities from directly under you and your child's window at 2 a.m. Most people would be pretty angry.
College is a lot of work, but it is also supposed to fun.
We are not saying don't have fun, just don't have it at the expense of others. I had originally thought that I would be writing my column this week on something having to do with the MTV Video Music Awards and how every female there was dressed in such revealing outfits. However, my plans changed after this weekend when I found out that someone very close to me has been suffering from bulimia for the past four years. I like to consider myself fairly educated on the subject of eating disorders. Having known many people who have suffered from them, I thought I had learned how to help someone with one.
