It is funny that someone who paid to go to college is writing this article. This girl is in debt up to her eyeballs at this point and it is all because of those nasty student loans.

I believe college should be free for all. It would make life so much easier for everyone.

1. One of the biggest reasons students dropout of college is because of Cost.

2. Education is vital for survival of one's academic, social and/or political career.

3. It would reduce the unemployment rate and less people would be on government assistance.

4. There would be a more educated workforce.

5. There would be more educated citizens.

6. A higher level of happiness and health.

7. A possible lower crime rate.

8. People would be able to try new ideas and show off their talents and pursue the life they want because they wouldn't be starting off their life with debt.

9. Students would not have to worry about screwing up their cosigners credit.

10. More people can have a home, cars, get married, and have kids.

All in all, this is pretty much how I feel about the education system. Even though I am already done college I do believe new students go into college should have a free education.

There are of course cons to the idea, but I believe my 10 items put into perspective what would be good about going free. The world would be such a different and amazing place.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
