Debt-Themed Pop Parodies

This Partition Parody Laments Your Student Loan Woes

— April 18, 2014 — Pop Culture
Self-described "star on the rise" Chanel Carrol has created a Partition parody to lament the state of her student loans. After a college experience consisting of "four whole years at the club," Carrol is now trying to stay afloat when it comes to paying it all back -- including interest fees. She begs Sallie Mae (on her knees) to pay off her tuition, while yearning to lead "that debt-free life."

The true horror and injustice of it all comes when Carrol admits she can't afford her hair. I mean, how much does a girl have to sacrifice for her education?

While Beyonce may be living the charmed life, the rest of us aren't so lucky. Carrol's 'Tutition' parody is sure to resonate with a lot of former students out there.
