I wish I was still in school. As crazy as that may sound think about the logistics. No work, no bills, guaranteed parties on the weekends and of course random free stuff. Companies love to attach themselves to schools because they know college kids have the most disposable income. This is the reason they giveaway so much... They know they'll get it right back.

Case in point LenovoBlogU.com. This site allows students to blog on their platform for prizes including a grand prize of $20K in scholarships. This opportunity is only for students eligible at accredited university. That means if you go to your neighborhood community college (*pointing at myself) you are ineligible. We often miss these absolutely free contests because we're so concerned with getting our work down (or not) that we blow them off.

My advice to young college students is to take advantage of every free opportunity given to you. I made the mistake of only looking for free food deals (thanks Chipotle) that I missed the bigger picture. I've heard stories of students traveling around the world for free based on a couple emails and an application form. I'm not saying these are common, but they definitely do exist. 
Hopefully this inspires all our reader to strive for the best and by the best, I mean the free! If all else fails try gambling about what grade you'll get in a class, yes there's a site for that.
