John Cusack to the the playground–specifically the dumbed-down dodgeball circle (apparently “Gaga” ball). Erkins, dips, exhausting! More chatter: tuition costs, co-ops, financial planning, “retirement,” life expectancy. Stretching OYO, air OH presses, squats. More chatter: intern wages, college housing, financial planners. Exhausting!
