SHAY MILLS Opinions Editor They day our parents graduated from high school, they were told to go to college and create the best lives for themselves as possible.

ALEXI O’HEARN Staff Writer It is early morning when the alarm goes off and the commuter reaches over to press the snooze button, choosing not to strike it a third time.
