RPS doesn’t care about lounge people

·

Let me tell you all a secret: RPS does not care where you live next year. You’d actually be doing RPS a small favor if you move out. I became a resident assistant in fall 2006, and we had students living barracks-style in lounges because of overcrowding. The freshman enrollment that year was 8,126. Instead of looking into alternative housing options or easing the residence hall requirements, RPS paid the problem lip service. The next year, freshmen enrollment was 8,051. There were still people living in lounges.

Show me the money

·

When a couple applies for a home loan, they are often denied because one or both parties has a poor credit score. You know, the whole concept behind the annoying “FreeCreditReport.com” jingles that have slowly taken over every single channel I watch.  While these commercials are utterly annoying, they do make their point: If you screw up your credit history, your monetary future will be plagued.

Victoria has a secret. Victoria’s Secret subcontractor, D.K. Garments, in its Jordan factory is employing 150 guest workers from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka who put in 14 to 15 hours of work each day, seven days a week, with only one day off every three or four months, according to a report from the National Labor Committee.

Candy, costumes and Christians

·

Everything about Halloween turns me on. For me, it is the one night I can dress up like a complete ass and not have anyone question it. It’s the one night, surrounded by a group of my peers, I can drink beer, listen to Lamb of God and eat candy simultaneously.
