Oh boy...school is starting

I have had several thoughts as the University of Michigan is gearing up for a new school year. In the past week, campus has been abuzz with new freshmen moving into the dorms and students checking out campus. It's fun to see fresh faces and to feel the anticipation of starting anew.
But, there is another aspect of this that makes me sad. I cannot believe how much partying is going on. Below is a picture of a sign hung up for a Thursday night party. It wasn't even 6pm and just to the right of this sign there were several guys preparing by filling up tables and tables with dixie cups full of beer.

This sign is rather clever and humerous, or would be if it weren't so sad.
It screams, get pretty and come and play with us...we are your parents worst nightmare.

Another thought, I am somewhat shocked by the clothing (or lack thereof) on the girls walking around campus. Seriously, I saw a girl wearing a sheer black lace bra under one of those so-loose-and-low-that-you-should-only-wear-to-the-beach tank tops. She was literally flashing her goods to everyone walking by. Where is the self respect?

I cannot help but think that if these girls were to know their real value, potential, and divine nature they would not do the things they are doing.

At any rate, things are looking like it is shaping up to be a very interesting year!
