Well, they do say that you don't need pants for the victory dance...
I have a saying that seems to fit this situation: "Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and the world laughs at you.
But as for frustration: oil prices have now more than doubled in the last 6ish years. Apparently oil producers/companies have finaly realized that they can raise their prices without actual cause (the American economy is doing better? Lets raise oil prices to take advantage of it! The American economy is doing worse? Well we'll have to raise oil prices to make up for the loss!) In a few more months the price of gas will exceed the price of a college education, it seems.
