I asked, they answered

This week I decided to ask college students how they would spend $10,000 without any sort of catch or surprise. Here are the answers they gave me.

1. Erica

Erica is a student at Western Carolina here in North Carolina. When I asked Erica this question she answered almost immediately, she had no hesitation.

She simply said, "pay off my car, money for my nephew, some college, and rent."

2. Ben

On the other side of the mountains we have Ben, a student at Appalachian State (Go 'Neers!).

He decided to give me a simple but extended answer, "I'd probably save it and try to use it on student loans and rent. What I had left over I'd either keep saving for myself or donate to a cause I believe in depending on the circumstance."

3. Taylor

Another student from Western Carolina is Taylor. Similar to Erica, Taylor gave me a short response but knows exactly what she would use it for.

She says, "Save it or give it to charity, or pay for the rest of my college."

4. Charles

Charles attends Western Carolina University, and at first asked me if I was asking him this question because I was going to give him the money... he's funny.

But, his actual response was, "Probably a new car. AR-15 maybe."

5. Carlyn

My friend Carlyn is a recent graduate of Appalachian State University, so I reached out and decided to ask what she would do with 10,000 dollars.

Her response: "I would donate 2500 to St. Jude's. And then probably use the rest for debt."

6. Tyler

Tyler just finished his undergrad studies at Radford University, his response to this question was a lot like I expected from students.

"I would pay off my student debt."

7. Xana

One of my closest friends at Appalachian State University took a different approach when asked this question about butt loads of money.

However, she did state that it was easy for her to figure out, "Easy, pay my bills, pay off my car, and keep the rest for if my parents need it. That way what I'm working can go to groceries and like paying my loan off.”

8. Ryan

He's another student at Appalachian State.

Ryan's answer was, "If I was dating someone I would travel the world with them; if not I would try to find a way to give back."

9. Joe

Joe is one of my best friends here at Appalachian State. He knew exactly what to do with some of the money but had to think about what to do with the rest of it.

At first saying, " $8000 on tuition," then when I asked about the rest he responded with, "I’d spend it on a trip."

10. Dylan

When I asked Dylan, another Appalachian State student, this question he broke down the costs and decided how much he would put into each thing.

He said, "Probably spend 1.5k on my computer, 2k towards apartment rent, and invest the rest."

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
