Oranges...and blue

The plates here have oranges on them.  All of the students at the university wear orange and blue.  You can buy ANYTHING you want in orange and blue.  Everything stays open late into the night, and on weekends.  People slump over in the casino 7 days a week, waiting to hit that jackpot, whiling away their lives.  People-students, faculty, staff-work all day in small rooms without seeing the sun, I need windows.  The buses run all the time, to everywhere, taking you wherever you want to go to get drunk and embarass yourself.  Friend is a very loose term here I think.  Groups walk into Starbucks at 7pm to get some caffeine before heading out into the night, prepared to stay up for hours.  Work ethic means something different.  There is no excitement, no passion, it has all been dulled by the routine labor of doing time and stacking up hours.

I love COA.
