Midwestern College Student Moves Into Retirement Home

Moving is tough, right? Trying to find the right house in the right neighborhood can be stressful for anyone. I just went through the anxiety-inducing experience of finding an apartment here in Iowa. This one Midwestern college student ran into a bit of an issue when she moved into her new apartment and shared it on Tik Tok.

I know that many people are counting down the days until you reach the age to retire (or win the lottery so you can retire early) Madison Kohout is a bit ahead of the game.

Kohout moved from her home in Oklahoma to Arkansas, and like many people traveling to a new state she didn't really get to see her housing situation in person until she got there. The young college student found an incredibly nice and affordable two-bedroom apartment. She liked all of her neighbors there, but she did think it was a bit odd that they were all a bit older.

It took her a week to figure out why...

She had moved into a senior citizen living complex...

60 years younger...

Anyone else share a sense of humor with a state's Department of Transportation? Just me? Well, every Monday the Iowa Department of Transportation puts up a sometimes hilarious, sometimes straightforward message on their road signs across the state.

Many of the actresses in this story not only made a name for themselves through their collection of iconic performances, but also through the selfless, philanthropic nature with which many of them approached their stardom. In an age of flipping the script on societal norms, many of these actresses are using their voices and platforms to be advocates for those who are otherwise unheard.
