Back to December

I recently saw that there is a group on the internet named The Young Conservatives. Understandably, they post things with a slant towards the conservatives and I think that they could serve a great purpose in the world of debate, but there is one problem. In the process of abbreviating their name for their URL, they decided to go with youngcon.com. Young Con. Cons are not positive things, in fact they stand in opposition to the pros. When Cons are people, they are convicts or confidence men (which are also convicts). Just saying.

As you probably know, a police officer was not indicted on murder charges in the death of a young man this past week. You already have your opinions on this case, and I will not place mine out there. Because my opinion on a court ruling will not bring a young man back to life, will not help a police officer feel safe in his home, will not heal a city/state/country in turmoil. Side note: yours won't either.

Moving forward.

November is over. Thanksgiving and its consumerist sibling Black Friday (named for the surge in business pushing companies out of the red and into the black) have passed. Advent has begun and the Christmas cards are being created, printed, and pinned. The Christmas season is upon us.

With the end of November, comes the end of Movember, No-Shave-November, or Hipster Holiday Month, whatever you want to call it. To those of you out there using your face (or legs, ladies) to bring awareness to a good cause, thank you. You are doing a good thing for those that want someone to notice and care for them. To those of you simply continuing your facial forest: stay beardy and beautiful. To those of you that are lazy and just waited for an excuse to make your morning routine shorter: no comment.

Another thing December symbolizes: the end of the fall semester. This means papers, tests, projects, and cramming galore. For those of you with group projects left to do, my heart goes out to you. Everyone dreads them, with their scheduling and their extra effort and their scheduling and that one kid that doesn't do anything. I remember when a couple friends and I drank in order to care less about a project and just do it.

So my question this week to move into December and the end of this semester is:
What is your worst group project memory?
