Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland, is a movie that continued the Blue Mountain State television show. The general plot of the movie is as followed: The college has a new Dean, Dean Olivares. He wants to disband the football house because he is fed up with their behavior. He sees the house as “a house full of drunkards, prostitutes, and imbeciles…” He sets in motion a plan to auction off the house. To retaliate, Alex Moran and the rest of football team go to Thad Castle, a graduated football player that was drafted into the NFL with a $50-million-dollar contract, for him to bid on the house. Thad agrees to bid on the house on one condition, they have to throw the greatest party ever thrown and create Thadland (Spiro, 2016). This film manages to encompass how many people perceive college to be, though alcohol and drugs, gender roles, and sexuality and relationships.
The movie opens up with Alex Moran, the football quarter back, saying the following: “I play football for the greatest college in the world, Blue Mountain State University. We excel at three things here, science, social awareness and…. I’m kidding it 's a straight party school, no one goes to class here.” The Movie also has students doing line of cocaine on girls half dressed bodies. At the party students are also doing keg stands, drinking from the tabs, many shots, and shot gunning beers. The Thadland party also required 54 stands of marijuana and “United Nations of Cocaine.” Also in the movie, one of the football players, Harmon Tedesco, produces his own drugs within the house.

  • Swot Analysis For Red Sox

    809 Words  | 2 Pages

    Many students when they come to college want the experience the college lifestyle, which consists of drinking and hanging out with groups of friends throughout the weekend or during the weekdays. Even though the Red Sox may offer $9 tickets for college students they are also in competition with the college student lifestyle. A study by Wechsler stated, " that 44% of all college students surveyed over 140 campuses claimed themselves as binge drinkers or heavy drinkers"(2015). This provides a weakness to the Red Sox attendance because the college lifestyle offers college students the ability to go out and party with others. They have a mindset of not wanting to miss out on the party atmosphere and the fun that could have occurred there while they were attending the Red Sox game. The parties can create friendships and they have little to no cost to the students.

    Alberta became a province of Canada in 1905. They joined into Confederation because of many reason. One of the big factors was because of the fur trading. Canada was in big demand of fur, therefore having Alberta join would add to their business. Another reason was because of Manifest Destiny, the construction of an inter-colonial railway between Canada and the Maritimes was necessary since all goods were being transported on American lines. The Grand Trunk Railway needed increased traffic on its line to avoid bankruptcy. Also, transcontinental railway uniting the Atlantic to the Pacific would have to be built to open up the West and to prevent a possible takeover by the United States. Railway construction however was extremely expensive. The only way to ensure its construction would be for all the colonies to unite and to contribute to its construction. All of these causes for Alberta and the other provinces to join Canada was to prevent America from taking over the continent.

    Even movies in Hollywood mirror this double lifestyle. After watching Any Given Sunday in class I was appalled by the casual drug use in the film by two particular football players. During the day these two men made tremendous strides for their team (the Sharks), but at night these men were completely different. They were snorting cocaine and other illegal drugs while they appeared to be entertained by prostitutes. Even though this movie was not based on a true story, it can very well resemble the truth in athletics today.

  • Mandatory Drug Testing for Student Athletes

    In many high schools around the country, student athletes are using drugs. “The percent of students that have drunk alcohol is 72.5% while the number of students who have used marijuana is 36.8%” (Report: Nearly Half of High School Students Using Drugs, Alcohol). The students believe that since they are athletes that they do not need to abide by the rules because they feel more superior and that the narcotic will not hurt or affect them. Implementing random drug tests for athletes will create a positive image and not hurt others or themselves. Schools need to have drug tests for student athletes because drugs effect relationships, using drugs have consequences, and lastly they have a major effect on the body.

  • Teens and Alcohol

    When teenagers leave the safety of home and enter college life, they can feel very out of place. In order for them to feel that they belong when joining a fraternity or sorority, they can be pressured into binge drinking and other types of behavior that they wouldn't normally do. By doing what the fraternity brothers or sorority sisters ask them to do, they think that they are proving themselves to be worthy of a place in the organization. This can be very dangerous for many reasons. "Results from a recent Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study provide the first national picture in almost fifty years of just how widespread and harmful heavy episodic or "binge" drinking has become, not only for those students who abuse alcohol, but also for others in their immediate environment" (Wechsler, 178). Binge drinkers put themselves at high r...
