The Green Scene on St. Patrick's Day, CSULB
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Saint Patrick. Does anybody know the true story behind this patron saint's life?? I'll share the bits of what I know—like, how he traveled around Eastern Europe before finally ending up on a tiny island called Ireland, his native country, now where Scotland is; like, how, actually, he lived in southwestern Britain before he was literally carried out of the land by pirates and sold into slavery in Ireland; like, how he might've lived to be 120, according to legend; or, according to another legend, how there were no nights for 12 days after his death on March 17, 461—and I'm not sure staying-out-all-night-long, green-fashioned barflies would like that. But then again, I wasn't in bars looking for who was wearing green today. I found plenty of students, faculty and professors looking cute in a festive green all over the Cal State Long Beach campus!
