Fullerton to North Avenue running trail has not wintered well. Big chunks of asphalt just thrown like a wet noodle up on the sand. The piers are covered in water - I’ve never seen that before - and the park district has bulldozed mounds of sand taller than me up to clear the path and protect Lakeshore Drive.
Lake Michigan is high, bursting over the sea walls even with little to no waves.
Three miles. I’ve run this route for ten years, every winter the Lake changes the shoreline, with ice build up, snow, waves that crashed and froze in place - but this year is different. Lake Michigan has reclaimed this beach, two others, taken a playground, and it looks like part of a few buildings. The lake is high, the storms are more violent, and we are not prepared.
McKenna Hensley got into 10 colleges — each with their own distinctive financial aid offer. “It was very confusing,” she says. “It makes a difference when you’re paying yourself. You have to be extra careful.”
The problems?
1. There is a lot of jargon and terminology. Researchers found colleges referred to one loan 136 different ways in their financial aid letters. Some colleges didn’t even use the the word “loan” when referring to it.
2. More than a third of the schools didn’t include how much it would cost to attend. They often only included how much the student was awarded.
3. Seventy percent of offers put all the aid together, so it felt like one big gift. That aid included money from loans, even though students would have to pay that money back.
You may be grossed out, but I loved these. Especially Lemon.
Lemon, cherry, and apple in that order. The lemon is especially delicious semi fredo
Apple and cherry for me. Normally I’d heat the apple up and the cherry I’d leave room temp, so I’d never thought of freezing them! I may have to try it!
High school lunch of choice
Psst…everyone forgets about Vanilla pudding pies….
Before “lazy, entitled millennials,” all the hate was directed towards “yuppies,” young people who were too materialistic and soullessly corporate. It’s almost like the older generation will hate the younger regardless of how ambitious or responsible they are.
