My idea for a topic is the Irony of the College Student. It seems that many college students have unreasonable spending habits and lack of time management, issues of which students only have themselves to blame. I plan on focusing a critical lens on the student who complains about the cost of college, but wastes money skipping class; the student who pays for a meal plan between $500-$1,000, but spends money at Chipotle instead; the student who questions the cost of living, but does not involve himself in organizations and activities. This topic appeals to me because every student can relate to it somehow and it may encourage wiser usage of money and time among college students.
(Personal responsibility, decision making) While the privatization of colleges sets up college students in a poor financial situation, the students can ease the strains of financial debt by making the right short-term and long-term choices. Find the middle ground.
