Suing College

This article isn't that interesting on its own. But it is amazing to see what happens when everyone just has a gut reaction to a one liner vs finding out the facts.

If you haven't heard, a woman is suing her college because she hasn't been able to get a job. Sounds absurd - right? Except her college is for-profit, is basically a vocational school and charges more than local regular colleges. You may not agree with her after reading the article, but at least she seems less deserving of ridicule on the national news.

Laptop-free coffeeshops

I'm horrified. Coffeeshops should feel fortunate. We, the public, have shunned free libraries in favor coffeeshops despite the $2 cover price. I guess I should consider myself fortunate that when I go to coffeeshops I'll be bringing text books for the next few years. Stilllllll.
