Got a question? Ask it on Discuss Campus! Photo by flickr user quinn.anya
Well, the term is over for everyone by now (I hope!), but that still means the questions over on Discuss Campus keep rolling in. Here are this week’s best:
More and more of my friends are graduating and getting jobs blogging for big companies. What are some good ways I can start blogging myself? Is there anything that I should make sure to learn?
There are so many to choose from. What offers the best range of options for a new student blogger?
I was wondering what ideas everyone had for Christmas presents for college students. Answer both in terms of presents for friends (fellow college students) and in terms of presents from parents. Thanks!
