Unofficial

You know that excited feeling you get when you wake up in the morning and find, to your delightful surprise, that the whole town is blanketed by bright white snow? Well I felt that yesterday morning when I pulled open the window shades and saw drunk people in green shirts everywhere. I smiled. It was my very first Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day, the biggest drinking day of the year for U of I students, where the beer is the green and the puke is even greener.

I drank. I barfed. I conquered. And now I’m going to sleep the rest of this hangover off.
