Congrats Zack. What a great opportunity offered here at brokeass-student.com.
To the author, I was wondering what your take on the american financial crisis was. I have been perusing many of the popular college life and college student blogs, and it seems that young intellectuals aren’t yet addressing this as well as we should.
I hope to write a post on this soon at http://www.zencollegelife.com.
Very cool giveaway with a very cool prize.
If you’re interested in other very nice devices you should check out Motorola’s new phone Krave. You can use it as a flip phone for calls and a touch screen for running around on the internet, watching videos, etc.
