many students, one of the more popular reasons for enjoying college is the excitement of attending
parties, meeting new people, and consuming alcohol without being under the watch of a parent or
authority figure. Unfortunately, this focus on freedom and excitement often leads to dangerous
situations such as overconsumption of alcohol, physical fights among peers and sexual assaults. It
is best to make sure that students focus on safety when enjoying their college years.

to eat healthy; go buy those cheap frozen vegetables at the grocery store!
