Balanced Meal

Alone these objects would just be an apple and a beer bottle, but together they are so much more. The fact that the apple was half eaten and the bottle of Bud Light was completely gone says it all, college campus. This picture is the epitome of college. What really caught my eye about this scene was the fact it was not there as I walked to my 7:30am class but only as I walked back. So it was placed there sometime in the period of 7:30am to 8:30am. Either my school has raving alcoholics who can’t go one meal without have a nice cold refreshing Bud Light or my school has amazing parties that last until eight in the morning. I’ll let you decide.

What this picture has gotten me to think about/realize is that college can change people. People who had never drank in high school, for fear of their parental units or whatever reasons, seem to find the new freedom of college as an excuse to be able to. I am not against kids drinking, as long as they do it responsibly and not all the time, but I myself don’t drink; yet. I’m sure the day will come when I’m a extravagant alcoholic like my siblings, but not today. I mean who doesn’t love passing a group of drunks on a Friday/Saturday night, they’re always amusing to watch. My favorites are the emotional sobbing girls that yell at random passerbys. I took this picture because it amused me and I liked the juxtaposition, I hope you enjoy it as well.
