Redbull and Cheeseballs (and dropout stuff)

As we hit the home stretch, many participants are still wide awake... with a little help from some liquid friends... (see picture)

Redbull, 5hour energy, and caffeine are propelling UNITErs as they work on their PSA projects into the wee hours of the night. And some skeptics don't think we actually stay up all 43 hours!

(As I am typing I overhear "THUNDERSNOW" followed by insanely loud laughter... it is 4am...)


Of course UNITE members know how to have a little fun while getting some work done...








Excitement is building as the groups edit their interviews, decide on movie transitions, and start the finalization process of their Public Service Announcements based on what they learned about the dropout rate and the communities impact throughout the entire weekend.

"If you had to cover your bedroom with wallpaper displaying someone's face, who would it be?" No really, we are asking you! Comment and let us (the late night crew) know!

As the morning draws closer, so does the end of Project 43... even though the laughs are loud and cheerful, we have still not forgotten the true purpose of our caffeine and cheeseball binges... 43% of Chicago Public Students are without their diploma...
