An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

- months of analzying paper roll data

A pleasantly buzzed family is an easier family, but the tipping point from pleasantly buzzed to aggro drunk is widely variable and situational. If you have a talent for mixing drinks, declare yourself the bartender and mix/pour lightly. You’re not charging money, so it’s okay to water it down.
