You wanna know why I am in dire need of a laptop? Well, because in school the other day, on various desks, someone, perhaps a force beyond us all, wrote “The Zombie apocalypse is near.” I am going to signal, using the laptop, extraterrestrial beings (because our government is too concerned about Nobel Peace Prizes and Joe Bruno), and ask them to confiscate the zombies. Yes, with a new laptop, I will do exactly what I just said. And my research paper that was due Friday.

I’m a tech geek who never has enough money to get the good products.

I wish I had enough money to get a laptop like this, and that’s exactly why I’m entering.

I’d like the laptop for two reasons…
First is because my PC (a desktop) went out like a war hero; in a giant spark and smelling of burnt plastic, and I’ve been a widower ever since.
Seriously, cybercafe computers are really annoying to use as a primary computing tool for school and work…
Second, I miss games. I used to be a halfway-addicted gamer who’s now been relegated to playing Snake and Tetris on phone. This past year has been enough withdrawal, and I hope I’d get a chance to pick up that hobby/addiction again… Plus it’s a great machine…
As for recommendations to College Being, well, tabbed comment posts would save space on the page…

i need a laptop so i can surf the net outside! also i agree that the RHS should be one column not two to improve readability.

I think College Being’s readability could be improved by condensing the two rightmost columns. The RSS feed logo is huge, and should be replaced with a smaller one. The login box can then be placed where the RSS logo is now, and the “Authors” and “Stories” links also moved to the right column. The search box would be most useful in the top right, under the four main links.

Although this may seem a bit crowded, it would give blog posts more room to spread out, and thus more prominence. People visit College Being to read the posts, not to look at the links.

I need a laptop because I don’t have my own computer; I’m currently using my father’s.

Contest entry #1:
My real reason is that I never had a laptop in my life. I think it’s because God doesn’t really want me to happy, or it is just me. I’m still living with my mom (aaahhh!!!), whose desktop computer I’m still using, since I may never win a laptop. I hate using it; it’s too slow, and it crashes all the time, and it is way too old. Since there are other people who entered this contest, who are also definitely more worthy than me, I don’t think I’m going to get picked, but thanks for the chance. All I know is that I’ve always wanted a laptop, even though I don’t deserve one.

Contest entry #2:
I have nothing bad to say about CollegeBeing.com, because it is not my website, I didn’t pay for it, and I didn’t design it, so I have absolutely nothing to say, except thanks for giving insignificant people like me a chance too better their lives, even if their lives were meant to go downhill.

I don’t know if its just me, but every time i view this page, the heading blends in with the first headline and makes it difficult to read. might want to work on that.

I should win the laptop because mine sucks, and I can tell it’s going to die soon. I really need a laptop for school (as does everyone I’m sure), but as a completely independent student, everything is on me to buy and there’s no way I could afford one in the coming years.
