A few weeks ago when he stepped onstage to accept an Oscar award for his role in the movie Whiplash, J.K. Simmons gave a heartfelt speech which ended with a plea for everyone to call their parents. It was a sentimental comment made by a man who was clearly very touched to have won.

During school, when you have fewer bills to pay and no student loans currently in repayment, it feels like you have more money than you actually do. That will end pretty much as soon

The average cost to go to college is about 9,000 a year. That is if you do not room there. Most college students spend four years. So, that is 9,000+ four more years PLUS if they want to go onto a masters or even higher. That is a crap hole of money!

10 Reasons Why College Men Are Worth Dating
The saying “boys will be boys” will never not be true, but there is a difference between a man and a boy. College is the gateway for everyone to grow up and experience life differently. Below are the reasons why I think college men are more worth dating than younger men, and I’m sure you can agree. 10.) College men are somewhat more mature. This isn’t always truth.
