The first week, Ground Week, was intense. I was drenched in sweat from 4AM to 6PM, we did a PT (physical training) test right off the bat 0400 that Monday I smoked it of course.

I am thankful that my frat buddies will get me a job after graduation because I know that I can't get one on my own. I give more than $1,000 of my parents' money in social dues each year to promote my frat's alcoholism problem. But alcohol isn't a problem anyway, isn't a solution.
