I'm a Junkie (and I'm not on Drugs)

On Friday, I had a nice visit with a friend who has now graduated who I used to work with on Senate. In fact, he was really responsible for my "recruitment" two years ago. And as much as I try to deny it, I am somewhat of a Student Senate junkie. Last year, I sent out a list to my fellow Senators, which I will post here now. Much of this list still remains true, and I've even added another item.

You Know You’re A BSU Student Senate Junkie When….

You have been known to spend more time in the office than in your dorm room.

You actually know what the MSUSA fee on your bill is for.
