Long Read. The wild murder plot involving a cyber-scammer and a college student who wanted to eliminate her lover’s wife.
Well, hey there, September.

That long read – mind. blown. Both of the people involved in that affair need to some serious therapy (among other things).
Really don’t understand the dorm room thing. You are only there a short time. You spend most of your time elsewhere. Then you have to move all that stuff. I have a son. Could barely get him to do any shopping. When he got to school, he went to Wal Mart and bought some albums. He uses the album covers as his art, and he’s good to go!
I can’t decide how I feel about the dorm room article. On one hand, it seems like overkill…and indeed, I recall my freshman dorm being just awful, with cinder block walls and a loft bed that i bought second hand once on campus that creaked terribly and probably could have been considered a safety hazard. It was…depressing. And I didn’t spend a ton of time in there. I also recall my mom telling stories about how she cried for the entire 5 hour drive home after dropping me at such a dreadful place. So….$1K for peace of mind for my child and I? It might not be the worst investment ever, if only for a year…
Chiming in to say the jersey dress is very comfortable. Got the dark green and love the color and the fit. Great for flights – even works well for petites! Thank you, Abra!
