ON MY WAY TO THE MALL....

I went to the University of Illinois in Urban this weekend. I went to the mall there and saw a lot of stores that I never seen before. I went in Forever 21. When I walked in the store the sales person spoke to me and ask if I needed help. I told her no, not at the time but if I do I will gladly ask. There was pop music playing in the background. The store sold party clothes and jewelry. Overall, I really liked this store and I bought a dress. The real price for the dress was $20.00 but I caught it on sell. I paid 14.00 for the dress. I am real happy that I went in Forever 21 and the customer service was great.

RAW

Group E Beer Goggles
I feel this was an effective exercise that Group E displayed because when I walked through one door I saw googles and when I walked through another door I saw the letters R.A.W. The message I got was see it through my eyes.
I feel they could have had more facts that talk about binge drinking.
I think doing activities like these will raise more awareness about binge drinking and help students make responsible decisions while drinking because the more students that see the same things it will start to register in their heads that this is wrong and I can really mess up my life and others.

Group H Car Crash
I feel this was a very effective exercise because a lot of people drink and drive. Group H blocked the way in and out the student center parking lot. They put two cars together to make it look like a car crash. The third car, group h was standing on with three posters about facts, saving a life, and what's the point.
I feel they could have had more people involved and standing outside instead of cars riding pass blowing at them.
I think doing activities like these will raise more awareness about binge drinking and help students make responsible decisions while drinking because a lot of people drive especially from the bars and clubs. Most of the people that be driving home from the bars and clubs are more than likely still drunk.
