“[Affordable college.] ... I graduated not even 15 years ago, and it wasn’t even $1,500 per semester. I looked back at my own undergrad, and in-state is now $16K+/semester.” As a Senior Staff Writer at BuzzFeed, I cover real-life stories that explore relationships, lifestyle (including travel and beauty), and the internet's most fascinating trends. Note: Some responses were pulled from this Reddit thread. "And they are beyond expensive, with many costing more than my 37-acre farm did back in 2012. Plus, they get abysmal gas mileage for what? To say you have a truck?" "Don't believe what you saw on Crazy Rich Asians; there is a very dark underbelly to Singapore, and it's getting worse as more ultra wealthy decide to make it their home..." "Just throw the damn disc and move on; you're not a pro, no matter how many hundreds of dollars you spent on your overpriced go-kart filled with the same discs that are only differentiated by a few grams." "We have a historic neighborhood with 20 boarded-up buildings and the loss of over 500 living spaces due to shady investors. The days of mom and pop owners are gone." "I've been permanently checking the 'used' button, and the search results have been far better, but there are still people that keep the original box and try to sell it in like-new condition for full retail." "Anytime I get duplicates of any of this type of stuff, we either give it away to kids near us who also collect them, or I sell them for basically the shipping fee so that kids can actually get them — not adults trying to gouge parents." "TL;DR: Don't be a jerk when you visit a place. Research the culture, don't litter, and respect the space." Note: Some responses have been edited for length and/or clarity.
