Hey, It’s Free!

I’m only posting this free ICE sticker (In Case of Emergency) because it reminded me of my college days. The sticker is meant to go on your phone so as to alert medical crews that you have emergency contact information in your cell phone. But back in college, my buddy Ronak was part of the ICE group - Indian Cultural Education group. You could only join it if you were of Indian decent, which kinda defeated the purpose to me but whatever, and as a result Ronak pretended like it was some secret organization akin to the Stonecutters.

Now if you’ve gotten to know me over the years, you know I like to do random and stupid things. Thus, I ran with his idea and pretended the ICE group really was a secret organization. I started making up chants and dances and handshakes that I imagined a secret organization might have. I’d dance around campus as we walked to and from class, doing me secret ice dance (which involved me throwing actual ice cubes in the air to try and make something like a Batman signal) and people would think I was nuts. To this day, whenever I see an old college buddy from Freshman year, I do the ICE dance and pull out the secret code to see if they still remember it. Ahhh, to have that much time on my hands again!
