Dear DTH faithful,
Before I swore my life to the DTH, I worked part-time at a certain organic and "healthy" grocery store. My shift was 7 hours long, and I spent all of it talking to my friends/coworkers, sneaking texts and Snapchats behind displays, riding around on carts, and generally just goofing off.
Sometimes, I actually did my job. But that was rare.
A part-time job isn't all fun and games though, and some students take on two to pay for college. Can you imagine — two jobs?
Honestly, can we just have free college now?

QUICK HITS
- In every incoming class since 2009, the majority of new students who responded estimated that their parents’ total household income was $100,000 or more. What's socioeconomic diversity, again?
- I'll admit, every time I see the number $30,000 next to journalism, I get really sad and drink a lot of wine. It's fine.
- So, I have two years left in college. Who wants to pay my $900 monthly rent so I can live on Franklin Street?
- Al's gets my vote (good is good, y'all!), but what's your favorite burger spot in Chapel Hill?
