If you are a relative of a college student, be forewarned, your imminent death may be just around the corner. That\u2019s right it is that time of year again, it is time for midterm exams and e-mails of\u00a0dead relatives\u00a0are prevalent. This is an amazing phenomenon that occurs repeatedly four times per year, twice during fall semester and twice during spring semester. Oddly always coinciding with either midterm or final exam due dates.<\/span><\/p>\n

It always amazes me as to the timing of the grim reaper.\u00a0What devious plot does he serve when\u00a0he decides to take the lives of the relatives of college students?\u00a0He never seems to strike during the first several weeks of a semester or in the weeks immediately following the midterm exams. It\u00a0seems that college student\u2019s relatives are only ill-fated during the tumultuous weeks of midterm\u00a0and final exams. An uncanny coincidence I am sure, one which should be a warning to anyone\u00a0who is related to a college student. If I were one of these relatives, I would ask for a copy of the student\u2019s schedule of classes so I would know when I should be most\u00a0vigilant and wary of the possibility of the grim reaper coming to my doorstep.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t say I didn\u2019t warn you; make sure your affairs are in order and your will is up to date, because if you are related to a college student who is facing a midterm or final exam deadline your days are numbered. Your\u00a0obituary will be written with tears in their eyes\u00a0and the tragic impact your death has had on even your least known collegiate relative will be shared with\u00a0college professors everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
