    Case study on a design disaster. Reading about someone else's failure taught me more than any success story.

    For my design history class, I had to write a case study on a famous design failure. I chose the 2012 London Olympics logo. The one everyone hated.

    Mississippi Resident Tuition Assistance Grant (MTAG) - when does the money actually hit your account?

    I was awarded the MTAG (Mississippi Resident Tuition Assistance Grant) for this academic year. I got the award letter back in like May, it was all processed, my financial aid portal shows the amount, everything looked good. Fall semester came and went, and the money was there. Cool. 👍 But now...

    MS Resident but going to school in TN? Am I disqualified from the big state scholarships?

    I need some clarification because the legal jargon on these websites is making my eyes bleed. 😅 I was born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi. Lived here my whole life. But the program I got into for marine biology is actually at a university in Tennessee. I applied to some schools here in MS...
