… Because it’s Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, guys! Did you know that? Well, we’ve been counting down the days since, like, last year. No–since, like, forever. It’s just that exciting. And well-publicized.
OK, so we don’t live in the res halls anymore. Maybe the freshmen are totally up on it. We bet there are signs plastered to every available surface in Crossroads. But for some reason, we just don’t know if kids these days will appreciate the subtle fun-making genius of events like this:

Good to know, UC Berkeley. The criminal hackers broke into the UHS database some time between October and April.
