College Need #1

Many people are currently applying to college or universities now that I have noticed. It is in fact College season! Well for the coming needs of college, I thought of dedicating some posts to the needs of college.

There are in fact many needs, but there are some that should be written about and others that are unnecessary. For many people, the obvious are laptops, desktop computers, TV’s, the lot and like. But there are other things that people sometimes overlook.

The First thing that everybody told me and even past alums said that I would need a planner. One of those PDA’s and to be more specific a Blackberry. Which leads me to my next point

For college, a Blackberry is necessary for a lot of reasons although many people think that people are just being lazy. However, for a person that is really pressed for time all the time or just needs a little extra helping hand, then the Blackberry will definitely come in handy.

Item A: The Blackberry will check email and when a person is on the go, outside of his/ her dorm, or even a local coffee shop. What would be better? To whip out a laptop and fire the thing up or just take out your phone??

Item B: Another thing that will help a person is the planner. I think the last generations are especially known for procrastinating. I am guilty as well as everyone else. The planner is definitely a must need and to be perfectly honest unless you own a Franklin what looks better a Silver Blackberry or a black Covey? My hands get tired fast and I have horrible writing…Blackberry wins!

Item C (last thing): If you already need to carry around a phone anyways, why not just drop the laptop a few days. Maybe you don’t always need to take notes on a computer every single day. Drop it off, check email with a blackberry instead.

This might be one of the most boring posts ever, but I thought about it and acted on what I thought is knowledge.

    A college student does not need a blackberry. Most college students have *no* money, and live off Ramen noodles. Where are they going to scrape together the money for one and a data plan?

    Also, its not like these kids are I-bankers. If they answer an email 2 hours after its sent (when class is over), whos going to care? It’s probably just a facebook reply.

    Every phone has a calendar in it now and can receive emails. I have an iPhone and regardless of how many blogs I write for, how many companies I’m a consultant for, or what my class load is like this semester, I STILL write everything down on paper and rarely reply to emails through my phone unless they are absolutely urgent.

    As a student, take whatever phone your parents will pay for.

    Woot…i did take into consideration the students who live the way you say they live however…i did ask around before writing this post…a lot of them responded with the blackberry being very useful and needed etc. etc.

    Bryan: This is true.. i have a regular phone as well and never reply to emails on the phone.
