    Posted on August 26, 2009 | No Comments
    For all you students out there, we hate to be the bearer of dismal, soul-crushing news, but school starts up again in a few scant weeks (and for some of you, even less than that). Sorry, but soon you'll have to say goodbye to lounging around the house playing Xbox, liquored-up trips down to the shore, and perhaps most tragically, sleeping in until one in the afternoon. Aside from depressing the hell out of most, going Back to School also means spending gobs of money on textbooks and supplies, where most of your hard-earned summer income is bound to go.

What if he makes off with it while you're passed out face-first in the complete works of Chaucer? Well, that's where we come in.

    Back-to-School: Who are our new college freshman?

    We're running a Back to School extravaganza right now, but one thing that I don't know if we really addressed is: Who exactly is going back to school? Or, more accurately, who is going to college for the first time in a few weeks? (That's who these Back to School things are usually for, freshman. If you're going back odds are you know exactly what you need and what to expect.) What have today's 18-year-olds experienced in the world, what are they about, and what do they expect from technology?
