College Students Excited To Participate In New Pyramid Scheme

A new social content site has garnered a healthy amount of attention lately amongst pyramid-scheme-hungry college campuses across the nation. The website, LuminateOnline, allows its founders to profit off of topical user-created posts (called "Sparks") filled to the brim with their own opinions. The platform offers to pay to each of its creators based on a 'rewards system', in which all content creators are promised a salary of $20 a post. Provided, of course, that the content is christened by an ordained priest and receives at least a 50% on Rotten Tomatoes.

"I don't mind the fact that I put hours of effort into writing my posts while the company grows and I receive no compensation. Pyramid schemes are actually kind of my thing," explained junior Hailey Falchuck. "As long as I can tell the world the top ten reasons I'm voting for Bernie Sanders in the next presidential election, I'm down for anything!" Her 2005 Hyundai Tucson sported six bumper stickers that further reiterated her motivation.

Whether the user believes they can solve race relation issues by pointing out the fact that the Pledge of Allegiance isn't written in iambic pentameter, or that dubstep wouldn't exist without the influence of feminism, one thing remains constant among all crew members aboard this ship -- they retain a bittersweet optimism for believing their posts will reach readers outside of their immediate friend group.

Luminate Online is outperforming all social media platforms of similar nature, and it's not difficult to see why. Luminate is essentially the same as all other major pyramid schemes popular amongst students but boasts a really cool name alongside a sleek, minimalistic, off-green candle sigil.

For those daring, young activists seeking to have their beliefs and standpoints to be widely unregarded while simultaneously making strangers substantial amounts of money, Luminate may just be the trendy scheme that you're looking for! You may also want to consider waiting for the next cool college kid scheme to ensnare you. Who knows? It could be just around the corner!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
