Every senior at Swanville High School who applies for a scholarship for post-secondary education gets one, courtesy of their neighbors. Since 1987, residents of Swanville, Minnesota, have raised money for the graduates by selling flowers, holding raffles and hosting chili cook-offs. In 1987, the average scholarship was $166. Today, it's $5,142. "It's this community saying, 'Go be great,'" student Zach Gapinski told KARE 11. "'Go do something cool and make a difference in the world.'"

A 27-year-old lawyer in Oregon has an unusual hobby: living like she's in the 1890s. "The speed of modern life has bothered me for as long as I can remember," Adelaide Beeman-White said to Oregon Live. She lights her home with oil lamps, sews most of her clothes, plays the harpsichord and uses typewriters and dip pens. But there are some modern comforts Beeman-White embraces. She enjoys streaming "The Golden Girls" and "Murder She Wrote."
