GOOD lord I can't believe how
REALLY amazingly and astoundingly
EXCELLENT the person who's
EXTREMELY cool name is spelled out
BY the first letters
OF this paragraph!!!
Hey, brought it up - I'm just spelling out what GREEBO stands for! ;DIf you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.
Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"
