Post Grad: A year out, career makes roadblocks worth it

By The Pendulum

Carolyn Baumgarten Current Position: Community Manager and Account Coordinator at Plan B, the Agency Alternative Class of 2011  In the year since I moved to the Windy City, I’ve been asked time and again, “what brings you to Chicago?” My standard answer is that I moved here because of my big city dreams and naive optimism, which more or less completely captures the growing pains of my first year in “the real world.” Ever since high school I knew Chicago was where I wanted my post-grad life to take root, and I’ll be damned if I wasn’t going to do everything in my power to make that happen.

Senate reaches deal to freeze student loan rates

By Caitlin O'Donnell

Senate leaders announced yesterday they reached a deal to freeze student loan rates for one year, according to a report from the Washington Post. The deal must be finalized in Congress by July 1 to prevent rates on government-subsizied Stafford loans from doubling from 3.4 to 6.8 percent. Senate majority leader Harry Reid said he believes the proposal will be acceptable to the House, though details of how the plan will work it’s way through Congress are not clear at this time, the report said. The $6 billion cost of the one-year extension will be covered by increased premiums for federal pension insurance, formerly a point of contention between the two parties. A statement issued through email by the Jay Carney, the United States Press Secretary, expressed support for the Senate’s decision. “We’re pleased that the Senate has reached a deal to keep rates low and continue offering hard-working students a fair shot at an affordable education,” the statement read.
