On Friday, University of Colorado sophomore Nic Ramos protested the rising cost of tuition by paying for his spring semester---over $14,000---in dollar bills. What a great idea. It took three people an hour to count the money. If he went to NYU like me, it would have taken at least five people two hours. College is way too expensive. Nobody really learns anything unless you're something crazy like a physics major, anyways. The money just goes to these presidents and administrators who don't do much and are wildly overpaid. That's where our money's going. At least Nic made them work for it and let them see how absurd the amount is. Plus, it's always been my dream to walk around with a 33-pound duffel bag filled with money. That must have been awesome. Good thing he didn't lose it.
