picturesoftheday: Thousands of young people desperate to study—and their parents—pushed their way to the gates of the University of Johannesburg in South Africa Tuesday, where some 11,000 people were expected to vie for as few as 800 spots. One woman died in the crush. Doesn’t it really help to see things in perspective? While we get annoyed over online registration, on the other side of the world, people risk their lives just to get educated.  Absolutely heartbreaking.
