Ohio State only gave former Coach Zach Smith a Six-thousand Dollar raise after he was accused of felonious assault.

Former Wide Receiver's Coach Zach Smith was only given a $6600 pay raise after the 2015 season. His smallest pay-raise at the University during his tenure there. Why is this so peculiar, you may ask? Well, it just so happens to be a coincidence that he received his lowest pay-raise there only AFTER he was being investigated for Domestic Assault against his former wife that same year. His pay raise the year before? 50,000 dollars. That's right, the University of Ohio state decided to really stick it to this man by only raising his salary 6,600 dollars for the crimes he committed against his wife. I found this extremely interesting as this pay raise was allocated before Ohio State faced any public backlash for leaving Zach Smith a member of the coaching staff after the fact. I honestly see little action coming from this, and I doubt Ohio State will actually have any gall whatsoever to ban their all-star coach. It's sad to see that Ohio State won't have any spine to step in and say there has to be some form of punishment, but perhaps this will start to open people eyes on what they want from a school's athletic department.

Inflation is heating up, and Wage growth is not keeping up.

The Consumer Price Index- The core index for measuring the cost of living excluding food and fuel rose up 2.4 percent from a year ago. That wiped out any gains that the Wage growth has had the past year as well. Wages have stagnated in the recent months, and this finding by the Labor Department will probably bolster the Federal Reserve's argument to continue to raise the Keynote Interest Rate in September. According to the Labor department, most of the gains in the Core CPI index and the Overall CPI index were due to rising shelter costs over the past year and this summer. Over the past year Wage growth adjusted for inflation is actually down 0.2 percent on a year-to-date basis.

It's Settled. Cash App has surpassed Venmo. Get over it.

That's right Normies, YOU LOSE. Cash App's stock rocketed on news that they surpassed Venmo for downloads on both Android and Apple app stores. I'm pretty excited about this because I know I can definitively say that Cash app is the bigger, better, and more common app to use.

Man loses finger during fight at Massachusetts golf course.

Whoever said golf is boring got it wrong. You don't hear about fights breaking out on the course very often, because it's considered the game with manners, but not in this case.

A Knicks fan is officially auctioning off his fanhood on ebay

Poor knicks fans. They never catch a break and apparently some of them are fed up about it. One fan has decided to auction off his fanhood, and in return he will become a fan of whomever is the highest bidder on ebay.

Animal crossings lead to decline in roadkill

A 2016 study has shown that natural land crossings for animals designed to divert them away from the road are successful and have lead to an 83% reduction in large-mammal roadkill. Anytime we're doing something for the animals I can get behind it.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
