Brace Yourselves: St. Patty's Day Is Here

Whoa, how did the semester go by so quickly? How is my favorite holiday (since college) almost here already? No lie, St. Patty's is undoubtedly the worst and best weekend in college.  Pro: Alcohol. Con: The next morning.

On any college campus, St. Patty's day is filled with an emerald sea of students wearing "Kiss Me, I'm Irish shirts," donning oversized four-leaf clover costumes and drinking questionable amounts of green-colored beverages. Whatever you decide to do that weekend (with or without alcohol), check out a few of the events that are happening on campus (a.k.a. FREE FOOD ALL DAY).
