Live at Wal-Mart
Skyler Bartels has to be one of the coolest college students around. Instead of heading to the beach for spring break he decided to live at Wal-Mart.

Bartels walked into the big box wearing jeans and a white T-shirt. He had his cell phone in case of emergency, his heart medicine, his bank card, two forms of identification, and nothing else.

This is ridiculous. My friend Mark did this years ago. Lasted for 49 hours WITHOUT SPENDING any money. Much more sophisticated
