On top of all of her wedding planning, Charis is busy getting ready to go back to school!
You may think that it is a good thing that she is already engaged, because men are less likely to marry smart successful women.
That is actually a myth based on false data that has been perpetuated by the media since the 80's.
Graduate students still have a chance at love!
According to Elaina Rose, an economist at the University of Washington, "In 1980, a woman with three years of graduate school was 13 percent less likely to be married than a woman with only a high-school diploma. By 2000, that gap shrank to less than 5 percent."
More good news is that smart people are better at marriage than dumb people.
Charis going back to school is good news for Aram too. Some Swedes did some research and determined that men married to smart women live longer!
Charis will continue her study of sociology at UMBC.
The mascot at UMBC is a puppy! He looks fierce:
Ranked #10 on the 10 Most Ridiculous Mascots in This Year's NCAA Tournament List in 2008!
History: The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is the state dog of Maryland. There is a statue of a retriever known as ‘True Grit’ that stands in front of the Retriever Activities Center (RAC); UMBC’s costumed mascot has been known both as True Grit and Fever.
This is now Charis' new favorite song:
