Chapter 2 Mindy Sink
In Mindy Sink's passage she informs everyone about the deaths of teens in colleges because of the irresponsibility of alcohol abuse. She uses examples of deaths related to alcohol in the University of Colorado and Colorado State University. She mentions students from Colorado that died from alcohol poisoning after a night of binge drinking. Sink also mentions that the binge drinking problem isn't only in Colorado but across the United States.
In the passages she interviewed Russell Harverson, who owned the liquor store. He said, "These kids are away from home for the first time and are not taught to drink responsibly." What Mr. Harverson said is true, because I have first and witnessed new college kids get really drunk and get alcohol poisoning and throw up. Kids have a sense of freedom and they go overboard which leads to a irresponsible consumption of alcohol.

Chaper 2 Rebecca Dince
When Facebook first came out in 2004 it was a save haven for college students to express themselves through their profiles and to connect with each other. Facebook was easy accessed to, mainly used to to conduct a background searches for people applying for jobs. Like any good thing there was a downside to it. People started to put up pictures of them drinking and what not. Now a days 8 years later Facebook is a completely different site. Facebook today is a social media site for friends and family to get interactive. But you should watch out what you put on facebook these days. Kids don't realize thta anyone can view your profile and pictures colleges and all. If you put up pictures of you doing illegal substances, drinking or sexual activites anyone can see it including your college! Yes, your college can kick you out for just the pictures or videos you post and not only your college but maybe a place your trying to get higher at won't higher you. This can led to you getting kicked out and having no education and no job. So watch out what you put on facebook because it can ruin your life in the end!
