The Conscious Consumer
The musings of a schizo twenty something year old who thinks himself a writer/poet/social commentator. Mixing Vanity with Philosophy, The High Brow with the Kitsch, and the Vintage with the Vogue.

I’ve been waking up sore for the last week (even though it’s been my resting week). But I gotta hit the pavement and I have to kick the gym in the shin, if I ever want to achieve my fitness goals.

Justin Combs worked hard in high school to improve his football game and earn a 3.75 GPA . He recently received a $54,000 merit-based scholarship to UCLA, where he’ll play football.
In April, Forbes named Justin Combs’ dad, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, the wealthiest artist in hip-hop. Some say the family should return Justin’s scholarship, arguing that Combs should pay for his son’s education and taxpayer money should go to students with greater financial need. Other say Justin Combs earned the scholarship through his grades and athletic ability, and deserves to keep it.
What do you think? Should the Combs family keep, return or donate the money? Should students with wealthy parents have access to merit-based scholarships and financial aid? via @CNN_Blogs
His son earned it—My parents didn’t pay for my college education, I paid for my own. Why should it be any different for him?
Though this may seem like grey area, it really isn’t. Sure the kid worked hard for his scholarship, but his father is a very public and wealthy figure. The rules change when you’re of that status. Not to mention the privileges someone who’s that rich got to enjoy, that some other youth did not. $54,000 is nothing to the Combs family. They should really give up the scholarship.
I can make these flowers! Now I just have to buy some used books.

I would definitely buy this outfit if it came in a Men’s cut. Ugh. Women have all the good prints and colors…
