Last week, I saw the movie "It."
With over $4 million in revenue to-date, I bought into the hype to finally understand why Pennywise (and the story of "It") is so terrifying. What's even more terrifying, though, is as I was sitting in the theatre, I couldn't help but think of ways that Pennywise could pull me into the sewer. There's no way that regaining a paper boat would be enough to pull me down...but, as a college student, here are 20 things that he could offer up that might just convince me to join him:
1. "A curve on all your exam grades."
2. "Unlimited K-Cups for your Keurig."
3. "A buffet of free food."
4. "Your 8 a.m. class is canceled."
5. "Therapy dogs."
6. "Free textbooks."
7. "Free laundry."
8. "More than 4 hours of sleep per night."
9. "A lifetime Netflix subscription."
10. "All-you-can-eat Olive Garden Breadsticks and Girl Scout Thin Mints."
11. "Your professors dropping your lowest test grade."
12. "A solid career with benefits."
13. "All of your student loans paid off."
14. "Scholarships."
15. "Air conditioned rooms."
16. "Guaranteed entrance into grad school."
17. "No more communal bathrooms."
18. "A guaranteed parking spot near your dorm."
19. "A big GPA boost."
20. "People never asking you what your plans are for after graduation...ever again."
You know what, Pennywise?.....I'm sold.
