Geneseo goes green
My alma mater has decided to not just go green by doing things like turning off some of the lights in their dining halls, eliminating sales of bottled water and such, but they’ve also truly embraced it by providing only vegetarian entrees in some of their halls.

Death of childhood, birth of humor
As a child, my uncle was the 8th born out of 9 children. So it was essentially his birth-given right to be rambunctious and cause havoc.
