NFTRW Weekly Top Five

Here are the top five comment generating posts of the past week:

Top 5 Best Must-Have Apps For College Students

collegecandy.com: College is rough; it’s expensive, stressful, and for the first time, you have to call to make your own doctor’s appointments. Luckily for you, I’ve put together a list of apps and websites that will have you saving money, increasing productivity, and even avoiding that freshman 15 (although let’s be real, the freshman 15 can happen anytime).

About Being a Female Technician by Emma O'Grady -

www.wakingthefeminists.org: Have any of the following things ever happened to you at work?

You pull up to a venue for the load-in in the long wheel-based Transit van you’ve driven there and you’ve been laughed at when you get out of the cab (because they weren’t expecting “that” to be driving)
Somebody has forcibly grabbed a powered speaker out of your hands and said “you shouldn’t be carrying that”
