Fallout: Champaign

College in a nuclear wasteland

16
Fallout: Champaign

College. College never changes.

Champaign was never the same since the bombs fell. College was never easy in the first place, and a global nuclear war certainly doesn't help. The actuarial science majors all told us the bombs were coming, but we didn't listen. It's too late, now, we just have to deal with it. Here is a small list of the ways Champaign has changed since the world went up in flames.

Mutant squirrels roam the Quad.

The pesky rodents were fearless before, but now they're downright vicious. Avoid the Quad, unless you have a thing for being eaten alive.

There are untold horrors in the steam tunnels.

Nobody really knows what went on in the steam tunnels before the bombs fell, but who knows what unfathomable monstrosities wait within, now.

The agricultural engineers control the Morrow Plots.

The gigantic mutated corn of the Morrow Plots is guarded by agricultural engineers in Power Armor. They were overjoyed that the corn went through yet another genetic modification.

The fraternities have become tribal.

All Greek houses on campus have boarded themselves up and formed tribes of raiders, killing anyone who draws near. They bring a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Who do you know here?"

Kam's.

Nothing changes.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
