"No. US students attend IF they get in. This is why we are in a student loan crisis. There is no lack of money backed by USA guaranteed loans."

Can you help me understand this logic? I don't understand the connection being made from admissions statistics to the student loans crisis.

jdamon96on My Little Sister Taught Me How to “Snapchat Like the Teens”

This has to be one of the most ignorant interpretations of a social media product. "no relevancy to anyone, and is a waste of time and money." First, your "proof" of Snapchat's lack of relevancy is literally an anecdote of how it is relevant to a girl's life. Second, do you think that Snapchat has to have some productive, utilitarian use to not be a "waste of time and money?" Snapchat provides a service that users enjoy (and this user in particular adores) using. IMO, that's the end of the story.
