A while ago this girl I know on facebook posted an update basically asking for money for school, saying that the deadline for tuition was the following day and any help would be great.
I wrinkled my nose but thought "Muh, maybe some big expense came up unexpectedly or something awful happened and this is her last ditch effort to try to not get kicked out of school."
But then today, I see another update saying the same thing about this new semester, She was being specific too, saying "I need $400 by tomorrow and still need x thousand more for the year, etc. need friends and family to sow into my time at school!"
So, clearly last time was no money emergency, she just makes no plans or efforts to pay for her own school, and then begs friends and family for money via FB the day before tuition is due. I can't even fathom how someone can watch most of their friends work part time, apply for scholarships, take student loans, etc. to get through school, but have the balls to hang out and have a good old time and expect other people to pay their way.
What the hell.
The clincher is that she's at a pricey school in California, paying out the wazoo for housing, flights back and forth, and international student tuition prices.

I can't believe that someone would actually do that and then continue to do that more than once.
I also hate FB lately for the dumb trends that are taking over the world. My newest hate is the dumb #'s/ego boost game that people started doing today. I was so happy the dumb cartoon thing was over with.

I've been wondering WTF that was all about. Only 1 person I know has been doing it but they've updated at least a dozen times tonight. I don't get what the numbers are about.
The numbers are just something you PM someone randomly. For example, I'd PM you that my number was 789 and then you'd post "789: you are the bees knees".

I'd like to think that people don't, but clearly they do since she's continuing to do it. It must be working for her.
I'll buy your curtains Cali, but only if you come up here for a gtg. How about January? It'll be 40 below zero and every road will be a death trap. Live life on the edge.
Are the curtains polar bear or seal? I'd be suspicious Cali, sounds like she wants to donate the materials instead of the money.

It's true. The pioneer guys were all "Freedom! Adventure! Come over here, it's great!" And then they were all "Now, come to the prairies! Imagine a serene, simple life on the farm, in pristine, untouched paradise."
And the suckers that fell for it are our beloved ancestors.
