Let's Celebrate: End Of Finals Rituals

celebrate the end of their tests and welcome winter recess. Examples are
provided through the article, but they still remind the readers that time to
party, comes after the tests are studied for and taken.

From MBSH
for college

Scenario 1
Two friends go off to two different college…. And
both graduate one is well educated and speaks as if
she/he is educated. The other talks as if he never
attend college nor graduate and he doesn’t have a
job…. Should we blame colleges for the personality
and the behavior of college graduates.

I wouldn’t blame the college. I would blame
the friend, because clearly this is the result of
his choices while he was in college.

Scenario 2
A boy just started college three weeks ago his mother
is a teacher and his father is a pastor who loves his
BOY…. When he's around campus he’s cool walking
around all coupled up with girls but in the evening he
secretly drinking heavily. He wakes up his roommate
when he and his friends come in to crash and end up
vomiting and passing out in the room. His roommate
is upset because this is happening every night lately
and he has warned that if he keeps waking him up at
3:00smevery night that he is going to inform the
resident assistant (RA) of the dorm.

After many warnings, I would be tired too.
Frankly, I would have already arranged for him
to be banned after the third time that he pulled
this little charade.
