University Email Simulator

A generic version of the email you will receive on a daily basis from the University of BS (Which is probably the school you deal with), as you will read it after the first few repetitions. Graduates can relive their college experience, or, for current students, simply stop checking your email and skim this page every day.

To: ALL-STUDENTS@UBS.EDU
Subject: Mandatory CYA Training

This is why tuition is so high.

    Urgent: Lserve@ubs.education
    Subject: student off campus recreation

    It is Standard practice to allow a certain level of celebration from the student body during game days and athletic events. Know however that you are being watched like a Cat. We will pick off the weak and uninitiated for their behavior, regardless of peer pressure or upperclass endorsement.

    Additionally, if any students should be found using non-recreational drugs, or using them in a non-recreational manner, expect to be punished accordingly. Also, this list serve needs to go out to our ENTIRE STUDENT BODY, because unless the vast majority have been exposed to controlled substances we won’t be able to market our billion dollar pharmaceutical decoys.

    Also, this is why your tuition is so g.d. high.
