| 0:16.0 | And let's crack on with today's first story. |
| 0:20.0 | Much love, guys. Now, today's first story comes from a throw-away |
| 0:23.7 | account and says, my 26 female boyfriend 25 male of a few months puts me down because I went to college. |
| 0:32.7 | This is probably an odd issue. We've been together for six months and it's been fun for the most part, |

| 1:30.7 | I went to a community college before going to university, and it saved me a lot of money. |
| 1:36.7 | The money I did spend either came out of my own pocket or financial aid. |
| 1:41.1 | I was working in retail part-time while going to school full-time. |
| 1:44.8 | I have a career and my life has been fantastic and I love my job. |
