Walmart News Now

Most people know Walmart for their cheap prices, controversy, or wacky customer stereotypes. People of Walmart include various viral photographs of customers, as seen below.

However, People of Walmart does not just include strange customers, but strange inhabitants as well. Like this one homeless couple, who lived in a Walmart attic for two years. These particular People of Walmart come from a story about a particular store in Memphis, Tennessee.

Apparently, employees in the break room heard a pounding in the attic above them. What could've been an exploding pipe or rooftop malfunction was instead a homeless couple, having intercourse, in what was their home.

The magic of Walmart is that you can get virtually anything you need there. Food, furniture, health products, school supplies, entertainment, clothes, house goods - Walmart has it all. This homeless couple in their late 40s-50s had access to everything - including the Queen size bed they were caught on. Other stolen goods included a TV, mini-fridge, surround sound system, bedroom set, and a hot plate, which they used to cook meth. All of Walmart's food and drinks were of access to this couple, which is likely what sustained them living in this attic for two years. The couple can be seen below.

Even more interestingly, this isn't the first time someone has tried to live in the magical world of Walmart. Two years ago, a 14-year-old boy in Texas channeled the same genius as the homeless couple. Although he couldn't find an attic, he made forts in the baby products aisle and the toilet paper aisle. Since Walmart has clothes, he changed his to avoid being noticed, and used diapers to avoid bathroom use. He only lasted up to four days, which is still pretty impressive, since my own personal tolerance of Walmart is around four minutes.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
