They want to suck your blood. Blah. Blah. If you haven’t noticed, there is a blood drive on campus, and anyone can donate a few drops of the red stuff.

Take care of that guilty feeling by using that one free skip in psych class for a good cause. There’s really nothing to giving blood.

Chairs are provided. There will also be entertainment and food to go along with your loss. And they stopped using leeches years ago.

Reasons to give blood:

#10: Many people need new blood to stay alive. So giving blood could aid in an actual life or death situation.

#9: You will feel good about doing it. If you don’t have the time to go around and help those in need, spend an hour in the Great Hall sometime this week and make an “anonymous” donation.

#8: Dracula won’t attack you if you donate blood. He doesn’t like victims who have “been around.”

#7: Blood donors can get more inebriated for their money. The less blood in your system, the higher the effects of alcohol.

#6: For the fellas who decide to donate, the nurses are young and possibly available. Because blood drives are usually on the go, nurses can’t stay too attached to one person.

#5: Donate blood and get cookies and juice. Enough said.

#4: Find out your blood type. If you are ever in a situation where someone says, “Quick for $50, can you name your blood type?” You can say, “Yes! It’s blood-type O.”

#3: You have something good to say the next time you write home to mom, instead of lying by saying you studied instead of going to the bars.

#2: Use the left over blood for finger-painting. It’s kind of sick, but cost-effective for those on a tight budget.

#1: Meet the Iowa State Hockey cheerleaders today! They’re friendly, social and may bring their pompons. Go Clones!

Give blood. It may make a difference in someone’s life.
