Is beer the key to campus life?

When is LCCC going to start serving beer in the cafeteria?
Just once, while I'm waiting for my next class to begin, I would like to share my intake of nicotine with a refreshing brewski.
It's not like I'm asking for a miracle here. Our neighboring universities have already caught on to the idea of campus bar life
At Kent State University, students can go to The Rathskeller in the basement of the student senate.
And Bowling Green has the Black Swamp Pub in the student union.
LCCC needs to jump on the bandwagon. We students need to band together and petition for a campus liquor license.
It's our basic human right as college students to be able to enjoy a tasty brew-ha while studying for that human anatomy quiz.
Wouldn't it be nice to fill up a beaker in the science lab with a cold Labatt Blue instead of weird chemicals you can't pronounce the name of?
I guarantee it would make students more excited for class.
I'm not saying kids should be allowed to drink in class, but at least they should have a place to go and unwind after having their heads buried in books.
It's not like students will be puking on the sidewalks, urinating on buildings, or dancing topless on the cafeteria tables, even though I feel that would make this campus much more colorful.
Students would be coming to class two hours early, as opposed to ten minutes late.
It's a win-win situation. Students get a bar, and enrollment goes up at LCCC. However, we would have to put a cover charge at the front door of the CC building, just for the underage kids.
All I'm saying is, I've come a long way, and I have a dream, for students to live in a world where learning and consumption go hand in hand.
If my dream ever comes true, and because I'm usually always late for class, I would ask if they could provide us with to-go cups.
Be the best student you can be, and do your educational duty, drink beer.
