  • Oh man I thought I was just doing school wrong. A lot of my buddies with a leg up over me (parental help with college mostly) were able to get their 4 year degrees in 4-6 years.

    I couldn’t afford that and went to community college. The advisors didn’t really know a lot, I came prepared and they couldn’t really answer my questions. I had a lot going on but I persisted. Then some of the transfer scholarships were no longer offered by the 4 year college I wanted to transfer to. (That tripled my cost right there.) And I had to fight them on how credits transferred. (Which would have cost me if I didn’t challenge them.) And they would only take a certain number of transferred credits. (Which again… Cost more money.)

    I was still able to get my “4 year” degree it was an incredibly difficult process. It was worth it because it enabled me to get a six figure job.

    I’m glad for this article because honestly I thought I was just… Really bad at making life decisions seeing how much easier it seemed my peers could get a degree. Sad though for the rest of my homies with limited support.











  • No. These are printed plastic advertisements delivered via the postal service. (Other companies might purchase small mini catalogs/coupon books, colorful envelopes, or eye-catching postcards for their mail-based advertisements.) These mailers are sent to many people. Most people refer to these mailers as “junk mail.”

    Spectrum is very bad about sending lots of these, as OP has shared.
