No. My life is great. I just find it boring if it's not augmented with alcohol.

"Igloo hidden on U of U campus allegedly hosted illegal activity"

Fox-13 Utah

SALT LAKE CITY – Constructing the secret spot required cold substances, but several students found themselves in hot water after an officer on patrol came to the door of an igloo hidden on the University of Utah campus.
A University of Utah Campus Police officer was on patrol and found the makeshift igloo with four U of U students inside, who were allegedly smoking marijuana.
The igloo was found in a wooded area near Red Butte Creek on January 31, and the officer initially thought it might have been a homeless camp. Sgt. Garth Smith with U of U campus police described the scene.
“What they found was an igloo about 5-feet tall, 10-foot diameter,” he said. “It had an entrance to it that had a cardboard door, they said it was about 10-inches thick, the igloo itself.”
Police said one of the four students inside had a backpack allegedly containing marijuana and paraphernalia.
“We don’t even know if they built it, they were just occupying it,” Smith said. “So we don’t know who built it, but they were inside of it.”
None of the four students were arrested, and police said one of them was cited.
The igloo has since been destroyed by police officers wielding sledgehammers.
The students have been referred to the university’s Student Behavior Committee, who will determine what, if any, punishments the students face. Possible punishments might include sanctions against the students or even expulsion.

University of Utah students caught smoking pot in igloo on campus - CNN.com

Police said they busted four University of Utah students smoking pot -- in an igloo.

The igloo, tucked away in a wooded area in the Salt Lake City school's campus, was 5 feet high with walls that were 10 inches thick, campus police said.

"They did quite an elaborate job on it," campus police spokesman Garth Smith. "There was a cardboard door and a stick acting as a hinge."

The students didn't say much when police patrolling the area found them, he said, and it's unclear who built the structure.

One of the students had a backpack and was cited for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia, Smith said.

Though there were no arrests, the four were referred to the Student Behavior Committee after the January 31 incident, CNN affiliate KSTU reported.

It will decide on their punishment, which could include academic sanctions and expulsion.

Police tore down the igloo.

Best last sentence in a news story ever.

I found that shocking, why would a woman dedicate her life to becoming "Barbie"?
Other than that, I wasn't sure if the author was making fun when I read the paragraph:

Could also be a result of not eating for weeks? If that isn't more than obvious.
