Students
Are you a student? Do you spend all of your time and hard earned money just trying to stay afloat? If so I have a tips for you that you may find helpful. Believe it or not this country loves education, you just have to put in a little effort for them to give you that love. What I mean is there are literally hundreds of scholarships out there just waiting for you. By just going to your local community college,or university you can apply for scholarships with ease. Or you can go online, my favorite is www.fastweb.com, but there are many others sites just like it. Also check out what scholarships your local community has to offer, often people will go looking for help when in reality it is in their own back yard. A good place to start is your local county's office of education,
Whats even more convenient is that some stores even offer student discounts on certain items or services, go ask around to see who can give you a hand, it never hurts to ask.
When shopping online there are endless stores available that are more than willing to give out discounts to hard working students like you. A few of the better stores for electronics and software are: www.TigerDirect.com, www.frys.com, and www.CentralComputers.com. Trust me, a lot of people pass up a great deal because they don't ask about it.

What's New At Google?
Are you obsessed with everything Google? Do you stalk the pages of Mashable just to be first on the latest Gmail update? Then you’re going to love Google New.
Google New is a simple dashboard for finding out exactly what is new and hip at the Googleplex. It’s essentially a dashboard of news from Google’s 100+ blogs coupled with the ability to search through Google’s key products and eight different areas of interest.
Frankly, there’s not much more to Google New than that, but it definitely makes it easier to follow all of the changes Google is making. It’s tough even for us to keep up with the changes going on at the tech giant. From our experience, Google launches a new update or a new product nearly every day.
Google New is one of the company’s 20% project ideas, where engineers spend 20% of their work time on any project they want. We doubt it took them that long to build this, but we’re glad they did; we’ll certainly be using it to keep track of the company.

Stess
Do you ever feel so stressed that you feel like you could rip out your own hair, or just scream at the top of your lungs for no reason what so ever? I have had those days before and I am sure you can agree with me, they're not fun. `But I have had a chance to learn a few really helpful tips to help reduce and eventually eliminate stress. Here is what you need to do; First take a few really deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth, don't let your eyes focus on anything in particular. Preform this exercise as many times a day as necessary but make sure you do one time in the morning and one time in the evening at the very least. This is one of two forms of meditation that you can preform to help calm your nerves and settle your mind. The other kind of meditation constitutes a motion of some kind, so whether you run, walk, or bike, do some kind of activity that moves your body and only focus on the task your preforming. Let nothing break your concentration. This is an important skill to learn in life, the ability to calm yourself. Without it you'll end up just being a nervous wreck all the time and that is not fun.

Did you Know?
Do you ever feel like your paying way too much for...... everything? well here are a few tips to help get you started on saving money when it comes to your phone, and internet costs.
First lets talk about the difference between cell phones and the new iPod touch, if you guys are using a cell phone plan with the iPhone or the android YOUR WASTING YOUR MONEY!!!!! Here's what I'm talking about with an iPhone or an Android not only are you paying for your contract your also paying for the internet you use and the data packs that come with every smartphone, which on average adds an extra 60 to 90 dollars to your bill every month! the best way to save money is to invest in either an iPod touch or an iPad. you see with either of these two gadgets you can download apps right everyone knows that. But what you may not know is that you can download a free app called talkatone that allows you to call any landline or cell in the US and Alaska FOR FREE!! you just need two things; first is a WIFI connection, and the second is a gmail account. with this you can talk unlimited to anyone in the US for free. Why would you not switch?
Now when it comes to WIFI there are lots of different options for when your at home, but when your on the move its a different story. In my opinion the easiest way to get an affordable WIFI connection, is to buy a WIFI hotspot box, with this you can project a wireless signal up to 50ft and you can connect up to 5 wireless devices at a time. and it only costs like 40 to 50 bucks a month, how cool is that! and the best part is that you buy this WIFI box at Wallmart or Staples for a really good price.
So lets recount, by ditching your phone and bulky laptop and just buying a ipod or ipad you eliminate the phone bill every month, and by purchasing a WIFI box you can call almost anywhere (just like a cellphone) and still download all your favorite songs and movies at the same time. You do the math in the end the whole system pays for itself. Think about it boys and girls the economy is still very rocky save your money your going to need it.
