I used to smoke and had a unique way of quitting. I was ten years old and used to buy cigs and smoke about a pack a day... big shot George. I actually quit smoking after my mother caught my brother smoking when I was was 10 and a half.

Flunk Day. It starts at 5:30 am when the Friars ring the bells. Everything is cancelled for the day & everyone drinks & has fun. It is usually in mid to late April. It is opne of the best college festivals inthe coontry. No faculty come on campus & all of the students party all day. There is a mud pit, two rock bands (one at 5:30am), cook outs, and lots of booze. We had balloon rides one year. They became too dangerous because everyone was too drunk by the tiem they started. One year, my best friend's girlfriend got really sick. I would get a case of champaigne and save it for the day. We would walk around the campus each with our own bottle. I wouldn't let anyone take her to the ER at the hospital becasue my mom worked there & I was sure I'd get in troulbe. Truly great memories of college.
One note, Knox is ranked (I think) 73 by uS News & world Reports. It is very hard. Itis also thought to be where the saying "You may have gone to Knox college, but I went tot he college of hard Knocks."
Go Knox, Go Old Siwash, Go Prairie Fire!
