Friday Five: College Student Essentials


As college students, we are constantly on the Internet either researching for a paper or just wasting time on Facebook or Perez Hilton. Take a second away from Facebook and check out these websites, which will make our lives a tad easier.

1) Cramster- Are you cramming for a Calculus test? Can you not figure out a homework problem for Physics? Have no fear, Cramster is here! Cramster is an online program that allows you to ask questions. Experts are on hand to answer your questions, and you can also connect on Facebook with Course 2.0, which allows you to upload your schedule and connect with fellow classmates. Better yet, Cramster is a Chegg Company (the company that we rent textbooks and plant trees when we rent the textbooks).

2) Remember the Milk- Have you ever forgotten to submit a paper or to get milk? Well if you have, this site is for you. This website allows you to manage all the daily tasks that sometimes we allow to slip away. The best part of Remember the Milk is that you can sync it to your Google Calendar or many other social networks.

3) Zumeo- This is a great website for a college student who is interested in networking, looking for internships, or even a career. It is easy to use and allows you to create an online resume, which Zumeo connects with social networks so you can find likeminded professionals.
