250+ Things To Do Without A Fake ID
Posted by Corey on October 26, 2009
This is a quick follow up on our attempt to morph college students into positive role models for their siblings, friends and peers. Much of this change occurs when people start making better decisions as to what to do with their free time. Trashing the fake ID and engaging in more productive activities is just one way to start.
To date - just a few weeks since we started - we have over 250 things to do without a fake ID. Also, we have almost 300 people in our Facebook Group.
With this in mind, here is our next challenge. I searched for “Fake ID” on Facebook and found a group with 850 members. The problem is that this group is pro Fake IDs. It seems to me that our group should be larger than that. Overwhelming support on our side will send a message to the larger community that there are people who care about these things.
You might be asking, “Who cares Professor C? We can’t change this.” Well, you might have sensed that I am both an idealist and an optimist. Think about this: studies show that many college students merely do what they feel everyone is doing - regardless of the consequences and regardless of whether everyone is indeed doing that thing! This “logic” applies to excessive drinking as well. I have a feeling that underage drinking in college is, in fact, not as prominent as it appears to new students. However, these young people are going to drink based on their perceptions. We can help nudge them - and everyone really - in a more character-enhancing direction. It’s the least we can do considering the short- and long-term consequences.
Therefore:
Please invite your Facebook friends - at least those who who think will care - to join our Group and work on their character. Let’s outnumber the other group by the end of the semester.
Great work!!

My favorite thing to do without a fake ID: get some friends, go to safeway on Evans, stock up on candy/chips/ junk food, and rent a movie from the Red Box just inside the main entrance for $1.
