The Ridiculous Increase of College Tuition

Why is college tuition so high?

The Ridiculous Increase of College Tuition
abcnews

College tuition is at an all-time high. Students aren’t able to receive higher education because they can’t afford it. Students could get loans but that would mean that they could be in debt for the rest of their lives. College loan debt is already higher than credit card debt at this point. Some people don’t want to have to pay-off thousands of dollars in debt for the rest of their lives. However, if they don’t go to college and spend thousands of dollars, they are less likely to get a really good paying job. Ironically, students who do go to higher educational institutions can’t find good jobs right out of college. Another issue is that students aren’t becoming educated on economics. For example, Cooper Union had students who were protesting to bring free college back. However, they demanded free college without actually knowing anything about how economics works. The debt that the college had built up had made it completely impossible to give free tuition any longer.

The economy is almost hysterically flawed to where students can’t even find jobs right out of college. Students go to college believing that they will get a higher paying job right out of college; however, in this economy, it’s very difficult to find a job. This brings me to my most unfavorable and controversial point. Both Trump and Hillary are extremely unlikable. However, a wise person once told me that the Presidential Election, especially this year, is not a personality contest. Trump is extremely unfavorable in his actions; however, he is an extremely great businessman. I want the best for me when I walk out of college with my degree. I want to be able to find a job right out of college. Many people close to me have not been able to get back into the work force with higher paying jobs, and I think it’s time for change in the White House.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
