Highly Educated, Highly Indebted: The Lives of Today's 27-Year-Olds, In Charts A new study by the Department of Education offers up a statistical picture of young-adult life in the wake of the Great Recession. What are today's young adults really like? For those who've spent too much time gazing into the dark recesses of Thought Catalog or obsessing over "Girls," the Department of Education has a new report that offers up some enlightening answers. In the spring of 2002, the government's researchers began tracking a group of roughly 15,000 high school sophomores—most of whom would be roughly age 27 today—with the intention of following them through early adulthood. Like myself, many of those students graduated college in 2008, just in time to grab a front-row seat for the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the economic gore fest that ensued. (One important note: I've shorthanded this group as "today's 27-year-olds." 1. Ever hear someone say that "a college degree is the new high school diploma"? 2. 3. But school was easier if your mom and dad had money. 4. 5. 6. 7.

The Perks Of ‘Being’ — Culture Club I REALLY HATED it when my friends drove back home for long weekends. Every time it happened, it was a pressing reminder that I only got to go home twice a year. On one such weekend, the kind that’s too short to fly anywhere but too long to stay put, I moped around the empty campus, conversing cautiously with the handful of other international students that had been left behind. I associated “home” with finding myself, just like I had connected boarding school with my intellectual enlightenment. Nope. As I sat in our family kitchen, speaking to my grandmother in my now-broken Chinese, I started crying. Here I was, in my kitchen, stuck in that limbo between two disparate cultures. “Stop.” In her crumpled hands, she held a pork bun, a delicacy where I’m from. She brandished the other half of the bun in my face. It wasn’t the first time I had been compared to a pork bun, but this was undoubtedly the most flattering instance. Did I end up hating boarding school?
Andre Amador's Playa Paintings are Sandy Works of Art If you live in San Francisco, California, then you may be lucky enough to come across the art of Andres Amador. He doesn't paint or sculpt. He prefers a medium that is temporary but absolutely beautiful: a sandy beach at low tide. For Andres, his art is "more about the process and less about the result." He knows that it will all be temporary. While making his beach mural explorations, he uses a rope as a guide so that he can make the geometric patterns. When asked WHY he does it, Andre gives the best answer... "The unanswerable question! Consider yourself lucky if you happen to stumble across one of his playa paintings, because it won't be there long. By raking up the wet sand at low tide, he is able to make contrasting sand colors. He even offers his services, helping people propose. Or even teaching others to create these beachscapes as part of a team building exercise. According to Andres, it only takes a couple of hours once the tide is low enough to create the designs.

A Lonely Quest for Facts on Genetically Modified Crops KONA, Hawaii — From the moment the bill to ban on the island of Hawaii was introduced in May 2013, it garnered more vocal support than any the County Council here had ever considered, even the perennially popular bids to decriminalize marijuana. Public hearings were dominated by recitations of the ills often attributed to genetically modified organisms, or G.M.O.s: cancer in rats, a rise in childhood allergies, out-of-control superweeds, genetic contamination, overuse of , the disappearance of butterflies and bees.

This 4-Year-Old Makes Paper Dresses With Her Mom -- And They Keep Getting More Amazing By Ilana Wiles, Mommy Shorts I started following @2sisters_angie a little over a year ago. Back then she was posting the typical stuff you see from moms on Instagram -- pics of her daughter at the park, pics of her daughter eating breakfast and lots of photos of her daughter playing dress-up. You know, the same stuff I post. Then, about nine months ago, Angie's feed started to change. It became clear Angie's daughter (she calls her "Mayhem") was more interested in fashion than the average 4-year-old. Then one day Angie got tired of finding her clothes in Mayhem's toy box and suggested they make a dress out of paper. I've been continually amazed every time Angie's pictures pop up in my feed. And over the last few months, I've watched them evolve to this: Having a 4-year-old daughter of my own, whose biggest fashion moment was putting a red bow around the waist of her green Super Soccer Stars t-shirt and calling herself "Peter Pan," I had a few questions for Angie. Most of the time.
