I have a younger brother who is currently enrolled at the Univ of Oregon. Here's what happened in the last two weeks.
About three years ago he went to Germany for a year as an exchange student. When he left he was in JROTC, a staunch republican, and had a clean slate. When he returned he quit ROTC, went Green Party, and had become an alcoholic/smoker/pothead.
Within a year he had a DUI, two MIPs, and two distributing to minors. At that point he wasn't even 18 yet.
Luckily, he made it in to U of O. But, shit hit the fan this last month. Each term he gets about $2000 financial aid for rent/food/books.
He blows 2000 of financial aid on alcohol and weed in three weeks.
Comes to my dad, says, hey, I don't have any food money! Or rent money!
Dad feels bad, goes down to visit, gives him $1000 bucks for food and pays his rent.
Bro gets job driving a zamboni.
Bro blows $1000 in 2 weeks.
Bro calls mom saying he has no money for food.
WTF my brother has turned into a pothead loser.
---------
Cliffs:
Brother blows $3000 financial aid and parent money on weed and alcohol in five weeks.
Now asking mom and dad separatly for food/rent money.
