I start each morning with one. Another for lunch, another for dinner. Usually at least two to get me through the afternoon.

I actually started this process a [...] Here is a big heads-up for anyone who attended college in Louisiana or was a Louisiana resident when they completed the FAFSA. The Louisiana Office of Student Financial Aid has disclosed that their data storage contractor (Iron Mountain) had lost backup data media in mid-September which included names and social security numbers. According to LOSFA, [...] This was a very sad weekend for me. As I have mentioned before, I am originally from Louisiana and also a graduate of LSU.
