1,000,000 Student March and Your Bootstraps

So it's been almost a year (but not quite!) I've been a little busy (understatement of the decade) but an issue that's near and dear to my heart has recently surfaced. I'm not talking about France or other countries under attack (so awful), or about the refugees coming in from Syria (again awful). This is all about this "million student march" and some of the stuff I've seen flying around on that lately.

So I Survived

Wow, it's been awhile. Sorry it took so long, I've been a little busy with the craziness that is finals.

License, Registration, and Hanging some Fans

So in the last couple days we've gotten our new driver's licenses, and spent a bucket of money on some ceiling fans. Throughout this I've noticed some things that are done a little better here, become freakishly annoyed with my credit card company, and learned that the people who create the instruction manuals for installing ceiling fans are either completely incompetent, or diabolically evil. The jury is still out on that one.

Buying a House and Moving Away

So as I said in my last post, I had some other things to say that probably deserved their own. Well here goes. Today it's all about buying a house and moving across country. Hopefully some of this stuff can help anyone who is thinking about doing either or both of these things for the first time.

Car Buying Sucks

I recently paid off my car. While we still owe piles of money on our Jeep Wrangler, I was super excited cause this was going to be a bunch of money I could spend on important stuff like this or this. Unfortunately this wasn't to be as my car has decided that it's time to totally suck.
