SUMMARY: As President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration approaches, U.S. colleges are advising international students to return to campus before Jan. 20, 2025, to avoid potential travel bans like those from his first term. Trump previously issued a travel ban targeting citizens from predominantly Muslim countries and indicated plans to expand such restrictions. Many international students, particularly from the 15 affected nations, worry about the impact on their ability to stay in the U.S. Schools like Harvard, MIT, and USC have issued advisories, urging students to return early or prepare for possible delays at immigration control.

SUMMARY: Experts warn that using “Buy Now, Pay Later” options during holiday shopping could lead to missed payments and bad credit. This payment method, often used by younger generations like Gen Z, breaks up payments into smaller amounts, but can accumulate unnoticed debt, affecting monthly budgets. Studies show that Gen Z’s credit card debt is increasing, and small payments can quickly add up to a significant amount. Experts suggest assessing needs vs. wants and saving for larger purchases to avoid financial strain in the future, especially when considering long-term goals like homeownership or retirement. Have you ever considered using “Buy Now, Pay Later” when shopping?

Smart holiday spending

SUMMARY: The Grand Strand Down Syndrome Society, our community partner this month, works to spread awareness about Down syndrome. Ezra, a Bojangles employee in Conway, has thrived for four years, greeting customers, maintaining the lobby, and keeping the place spotless. Supported by the Society’s 321 group, Ezra has developed skills, made friends, and learned life skills. His mother, Wanda, emphasizes that Down syndrome is just a label, not a disadvantage. The Society offers programs for all ages, fostering community connections and advocating for awareness. It encourages treating individuals with Down syndrome like anyone else, without labels.

The Grand Strand Down Syndrome Society is a volunteer-run organization dedicated to supporting families in and around the Grand Strand area.
