When my parents shipped me off to college, money was the last thing on my mind — and they wanted it that way. This isn’t always possible, and it’s not the case now. While my parents graciously handle my tuition and groceries, when I left the dorms after freshman year, I began paying for my rent and my utilities. I knew my parents saved up money to pay for my brothers, David and Alex, and I to go away to college because they didn’t want us to have any student loans. However, if they hadn’t decided to save up for us, they say student loans would have been the solution. I sat down to talk with my parents, Michelle and Dave, about how they're financially managing to put three kids through IU.
I’m the middle child in my family, which means I typically don’t have much to worry about. When my older brother, David, went away to school, I was a sophomore in high school and just shrugged it off.

He became the only child in the household — he had to attend family events alone and wait for us to come home for the holidays. I thought this would have been strange for him, but he claims it really wasn’t.

2008 gave the world a plethora of things. We were gifted music, shutter shades and boho headbands, to name a few. We can only hope the fashion trends don’t make their way back into our lives, but every time I attend a party, I hope a bop from 2008 makes an appearance.
Spring is a beautiful time. Winter coats are shed and smiles are plastered on everyone’s faces up until the next snowstorm in April hits.
Paramore has been a part of my life since I discovered the albums, “All We Know Is Falling,” “RIOT!” and “brand new eyes” at age 13. I was listening to Paramore as I entered my emo stage, back in the days when I had bright pink, green and blue clip-in hair extensions and wore purple eyeliner.

Paris was full of new things for me. I finally got to use the French I had been learning for years. I tried escargot and found out snails taste like mushrooms and grass dipped in pesto, but in a good way. And I went to the top of the Eiffel Tower, to name a few.
