Note: I am not a student loan expert. This video and exercise are simply to get you thinking about this topic. You should talk to your financial aid advisor when you have a chance.

Once you have watched both videos, open a Word document and write a paragraph or two that addresses the following:

1) What does the marshmallow experiment have to do with financial literacy?

2) What does the student loan video have to do with financial literacy?

3) What do the marshmallow video and the student loan video have to do with one another? Anything?
