The TRUE Life of a College Student
Lmao... I have to start this little rant off by laughing. I'm not even sorry about it because COLLEGE SUCKS! Most people who have ever been can agree in some aspect. College is the place that annihilates every ounce of hope in your body. As if high school wasn't a train wreck enough, college is the absolute destroyer of all things good.

What It's Like to Be: A Microbrewery Sales Manager
Craft beer has come a long way since San Fransisco's Anchor Brewing was recognized as the first brewery of its kind. In my previous life, I saw the rise of craft beer in the state of New Jersey, which, compared to many other states, is still very far behind. Given that acclaimed breweries such as Ballast Point and New Belgium only just hit the markets a few years ago, this spurred an impetus for local breweries to rise in New Jersey. After the laws were changed to allow the growth, New Jersey is now home to over 80 independent craft breweries.

Education
Picture today’s educational system…it’s not perfect—in fact, I imagine most of us can agree it is far, far from perfect. And not surprisingly as the underlying principles of the US schooling system haven’t experienced any significant changes in at least 100 years. There are obvious differences such as technology, and with the constant discovery of new information, curriculums frequently exhibit minor adjustments and additions. However, change itself is still essentially foreign to the educational system. Not only have the principles remained rather unchanged, the same standard that more money is equal to higher level education is still in place, which I find completely unreasonable. Not to mention the gaping achievement gap between race which has failed to narrow in any significant way in the past 50 years. In 1964, an average of 87 percent of white students in the 12th grade scored higher than the average black student in the same grade in both math and reading. Today, an average of 79.5 percent of white students in the 12th grade score higher than the average black student in the same grade. To put that data into perspective, the achievement gap has closed by a slim 7.5 percent in the past 54 years. Researchers believe that it will take nearly two and a half centuries for the gap to close; a change that not a single person in this room will witness...not even a change that our children or even our children’s children will get to witness…

6 Tips for Making Your Next Cell Phone Store Visit Go Smooth
You may have preconceived thoughts about salesmen. Your ideas were probably taught to you by an adult figurehead. They would say things like, “Those people really don’t care about you. They just want to make a sale!” And yes, that is partially correct. I do want to make a sale, but I also want to make sure my customer is taken care of. I’m not in this game strictly for myself. I enjoy putting a smile on a customer’s face or helping someone get their bill lowered. I know I like my bill to be less. I assume you do as well. Why not share in that?
