Music

Guys, remember trading baseball cards when you were younger? Girls, remember trading stickers in grade school? Now that you're older, it doesn't mean you have to stop sharing / trading with your friends. Chances are your friends have cds you want but haven't bought and vice versa. So why not trade or swap your cd collections? Once you load the songs you want, you can give their cds back and trade with another friend. Just another simple example of how to think outside of the box.

If you have a valid college email address, you can download all the music you want absolutely free! It's legal if you sign up for an account at www.ruckus.com. Keep all the music you want on your computer or simply sync it to an mp3 player. (Note: since it's a free service & music is copyright protected you can't burn it onto CDs). Happy listening!

We've saved thousands of dollars on books, CDs and DVDs by renting them free at the library. Here's what you do: you check out the CDs for free and burn them onto your computer. The best part? Sometimes the always-eager-to-help librarians will even put in a special order for you if they don't have what you're looking for.
