Welcome to the College, we have fun and games

In HNC Healthcare we can get up to a lot of non-medical related stuff. Usually it begins during a lecture, and we'll delve into the topic a little bit further out with class hours. On recent reflection, I've actually found myself giggling at some of the stuff we've spoken about, sometimes in utter seriousness, and thought it was worth posting.
So far we've discussed:

The theory that eating Kellogs Cornflakes for your breakfast can prevent you from becoming homosexual, can stop you masturbating, and is a "cure" for other sexual urges that may overrun your body.
This discussion began because our most dopiest of lecturers brought it up during Sociology one day, and we were keen to find out if it was true or not. The theory coming into existence is true, but not so sure if the actual statement is.

Scarlet magazine is not a porn mag for women, and is just a magazine which is highly informative in the realms of sexual topics...and images.
A copy of the magazine was pretty much marketed in our class today when someone brought it in for us to take a peek at. During Anatomy & Physiology was not the best time for doing this. All I can say is thank God the mag had an innocent make-up page we could flick back to to hide its true nature from our lecturer.

And then, to complete our final day in college before placements next week, we got to prod a pig's heart and lungs at the end of A&P, just for the randomness and because we wanted to see some blood and guts. We were promised that when it comes to doing circulation, and the respiratory and cardiac systems, we'd be allowed to disect a heart or two.
I'm just gonna make a point of saying that lungs feel well spongey :)

Finally, to round it all up, Becca, Rachael and me walked into town discussing America's politics, current and past.

I think this comment pretty much rounds up at least today's exciting installment of HNC Healthcare: "Reading porn magazines, prodding about with a heart and lungs, and now we're discussing politics. Check us!"
