Want to play a game?

Yesterday, I went to Universal Studio's Halloween Horror Nights. Not gonna lie, it was awesome/terrifying. One of the main features of the event was a maze dedicated to the "Saw" franchise. Now, I personally have never seen any of these films, but that's mostly because I like to keep my lunch inside of my stomach.

So I had my friend explained the premise of this series to me: There is this murderer called the Jigsaw Killer. This sick individual kidnaps victims who need to learn a "lesson." He puts them through deadly "games" where they either can kill themselves or the people with them in order to win, and these trials will make them better people.

And then I thought...hmm, this situation sounds oddly familiar. Isn't there a certain SCHOOL that tries to teach me valuable life lessons 4 days a week? Yet there are sacrifices I must make to receive this education. Let's see...

• My parents are currently coughing up the cost of a yacht in order to pay for it.
• My dad is being forced to kill off a National Park's worth of trees with the stacks of paperwork he must fill out in order to gain some financial aid.
  
• I have become a slave to morning traffic on the I-22 freeway with all the commuting I must do these days.
  
• My roommates were plagued with a nasty cold I gave them last year, due to the health office denying me service because I didn't have an appointment.
• Freshman year, I was practically starved to death because of the inconvenient cafeteria hours.
  
• Many a teacher have stopped their lectures to give me the glare for walking in late to class, thanks to a severe lack of parking.
• I was sentenced to sharing a room with my 11-year-old sister because Chapman housing ran "out of rooms."
  

Gosh, going to Chapman makes me feel like I am sacrificing myself and others around me for a place that will hardly give me the time of day.

Shoot, did I just compare Chapman to SAW? Ouch. A little extreme, I'll admit. But sometimes, I sure feel like I'm giving up an arm and a leg to go here. Pun intended.

Game over,
