#Pray for Paris after the terrorist attack that took place, but let’s not forget about the rest of the world. It truly was Friday the 13th. In addition to the Paris terrorist attacks, Japan experienced a 7.0 Earthquake, along with Mexico, Baghdad and Beirut faced a funeral and suicide bombing. In total, 115,2000 heartbeats were lost.
To lighten the mood before we close, here are some little known facts about Friday the 13th.

The Ring Ceremony, which marks the half point for college undergrads, takes place this Friday, 4pm at JPJ. Check out the things you need to know if you’re going. Fun fact: YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE RECEIVING A RING TO GO! So celebrate with your fellow Wahoos, you’re halfway there!
The photo is pretty self explanatory but some of the words are small, so use the Paint Locker to store extra paint and help the next Hoo out, and don’t paint when it rains or you’ll paint the bay instead of the bridge -- sufficiently killing Nemo :( Long story short, be smart, paint responsibly.
