There was a time when college students ate Ramen for breakfast, wore used underwear for three straight days to avoid doing laundry, and considered the Taco Bell drive-thru a swanky night out.
C'est la vie.
The Wall Street Journal has a story about concierges catering to college students who need, among other things...
...an authentic mariachi band
...to ship 300 bottles of perfume
...hard-to-get restaurant reservations and sporting event tickets
...to have someone appeal speeding tickets and pay the fine at court
...bedrooms and apartments furnished and decorated
...extra-long, twin, 900-thread count sheets
The twin sheets didn't happen, as such a thing doesn't regularly exist. The rest? All were catered to by various concierge services.
Hara Estroff Marano, editor at Psychology Today, isn't a fan, and tells the Journal, "Any parent who subscribes to or subsidizes this should really have their head examined."
It's pretty bad when the editor at Psychology Today whips out the amateur mic night comedy material to mock you.
