Did you know that the SALT Blog shares its birthday (July 2) with Lindsay Lohan?

I can’t say for sure that we’re more mature than she is, but I think we bolstered our claim by not featuring any dancing bears or baby-food eaters last week. (What happened to us?)

Here’s what we did manage to pack into the past week.

• Our roster of writers kept growing, as we introduced entrepreneur, med student, and former part-time hustler Lee Morris, as well as recent UT Austin grad and Real Housewives-watcher Eveyln Ngugi.

• Real student stories took center stage: SALT intern Jen Scott talked about spending money while in school, while Bryan Roth told us about his post-college experience in the newspaper world.

• Not to be outdone in terms of “lessons learned,” Mike Restiano detailed an aha moment he had about his own spending.

• Mike also taught us that “when life gives you a leaky bus, go with the flow,” with a little help from some YouTube celebs.

• Diane Melville continued her “How to Find a Scholarship” series, showing off some special Google searches and detailing why scholarships are so hard to find.

• Our summer Glee project continued with a suggestion that Finn join ROTC—and a discovery that we may have a supporter on the show.

• We released the first-ever SALT Blog infographic, which stacked up $1 trillion of student debt vs. 10 years of box office blockbusters.
