March 23 (Bloomberg) — Villanova University guards Scottie Reynolds and Corey Stokes combined for 45 points as the Wildcats beat Siena 84-72 to advance to the third round of the national men's college basketball tournament.
In the first of eight National Collegiate Athletic Association games today, Reynolds scored 25 points and grabbed eight rebounds, while backcourt teammate Stokes added 20 points as 12th-seeded Villanova advanced to the final 16 for the third time in four years.
Sophomore forward Alex Franklin led the 13th-seeded Saints with 18 points, while guard Kenny Hasbrouck had 17 in the game held in Tampa, Florida.
The Wildcats became the second Big East Conference team to advance to the third round, joining West Virginia, which topped Duke yesterday in one of eight other second-round games.
In another matchup of 12th- and 13th-seeded teams today, Western Kentucky takes on San Diego, while two top-seeded teams will be in action, with North Carolina facing No. 9 seed Arkansas and Memphis facing eighth-seeded Mississippi State.
Today's other games that will complete the second round are Georgetown-Davidson, Louisville-Oklahoma, Tennessee-Butler and Texas-Miami.

I wanted to believe this was satire, but apparently it’s not. A quick Google search turned this up:http://blog.collegebars.net/meet-college-isnt-necessary-author-lynzee-stauss/
I wouldn’t say it’s “ignorant” to want a happy marriage and a carefree lifestyle. I think the word you’re looking for is “naive”, and perhaps “selfish”. If she were willing to work for what she wanted instead of feeling a sense of entitlement, I’d be fine with it.
Sorry you’re being downvoted. In order to help, I’ll provide an example of what you’re talking about. Stop downvoting.
