Jennifer Olinde caught the episode on Sunday and shares her thoughts on it.“ The father son bonding moment between Rick and Carl was a good addition to the episode. When Rick runs out of bullets and Carl tosses him the clip of ammunition, the look of amazement on Rick’s face is priceless. It was a great zombie apocalypse bonding moment.”Check out what the governor has planned Sunday the 17 on AMC at 8 pm.
New Gaming Toy

According to Josh Smith from Gotta be Mobile, Stores like Target, Best Buy and Wal-Mart are planning on have a couple non-preorder consoles but they will go fast.
Tuition and Money Concerns
Cost of tuition is keeps rising higher. Morningside College costs around 34 thousand dollars. That’s a high price education but one that most students say is worth the price tag. However, most students don’t know that it keeps going up. Morningside student, Hannah Hecht, tells us what she wishes she would of knew coming in. “Before I came into college, I wish I would of know that tuition went up every year because I assumed that my financial package for my first year would be the exact same every single year.”
Like, Hannah, many students did not know that the price tag for quality learning keeps going up, but there are ways to start saving up for the final bill. For example, a work-study or on campus job, summer jobs, and a savings account would all help take a bite out of the price. Bailey Baack, let’s us know what she wishes she would of done to lessen the load. “Before I came to college I wish I knew how important it was to save up in high school and just start building your savings from the gecko because when you get to college it gets really tight and you wish you would of saved earlier.”
While we might not all be able to go back in time and start saving money in high school, we can all set aside some cash to save up for it now.
