I was researching a story I was working on about drugs on campus and after countless efforts in trying to find a local drug dealer to speak about the issue, I finally found a willing dealer to go about the interview anonymously. While finishing up, I asked him when his busiest times of the year were. “September and February,” he said, which seemed like an odd answer considering Christmas in December and graduation in May when students would be coming into some money. When I asked why, he said, “because that’s when kids start cashing in their Bright Futures Scholarship checks.”
