When was the last time that you went on a date?
More importantly, who paid for the date?
If you were on a typical, traditional date – then chances are the man picked up the tab. But this traditional gender role seems to be changing as time moves on.

Best Business Advice for College Graduates
Young adults are graduating college at a slower pace than before.

Stealing things from hotels can be a compulsion for some.
Sometimes, it’s the principle of the taking. When a luxury hotel charges you $400 (or more) a night for a suite, you sometimes feel obligated to take advantage of as much of the freebies as you can grab.
Homework can be rewarding, if you know how to do the assignment. It can also be extremely frustrating if you have difficulty in the subject matter.
And let’s face it – while Mom and Dad are familiar with practically everything, there’s no way that kids can always rely on their parents to help them with some calculus problem if Mom and Dad haven’t used that skill in say, forever.

THE BREAKFAST CLUB did sum it up perfectly in that everyone in school was, at one time or another “a brain, an athlete, a basketcase, a princess”… and maybe a little bit of a criminal.
Are you a smoker?

If you are a frequent traveller, you may find yourself needing to select your hotel based on a myriad of online travel websites (like Travelocity, TripAdvisor, Expedia, AAA, Yelp, or others) that not only offer you the lowest price for booking your hotel stay, but also offer what should be the best crowdsourced advice on whether that specific hotel will meet – or not meet – your needs.
Travelling for business has one set of needs; travelling for pleasure has another. Travelling with kids? You may need to avoid staying at a high-end hotel if only because the kids won’t appreciate it as much as you would. Travelling alone? Maybe quiet, security and safety are your primary concerns.
And as always, accurate reviews of hotel location in relation to local attractions or transportation is always a help.
