What are they doing up there?? via 5 Thoughts We’ve all Had of Our Upstairs Neighbors — COLLEGE MATE
Freshman 15
Freshman 15 For me, gaining 15 pounds would have been a dream come true. Instead, I gained a nightmarish 50 pounds, despite working out and trying to eat healthy and walking everywhere. The food options in the dining halls were “unbelievably” narrow. There was a lot of fried foods, greasy meats and sweet desserts. The… Continue reading Freshman 15
Millennials are Uncertain, not Entitled
I loved this read from the Huffington Post. 'Millennials are Uncertain, Not Entitled" "Stories about entitled, apathetic millennials just keep coming.

Why Don’t Millennials Save Money?
