The old one was 2/3rds longer, which was much more reasonable. It gave us time for our paychecks to come through, and wait until our most financially stable week. Time cards don't matter as much when you're on a subscription. Twenty dollars is still a lot of money when you're a college student. The least we could have is the same amount of time as last time, that way everyone won't have to drop everything to do it. I would be much better off in two weeks, but it ends.
