You are a college student.
You Rule!
Since we've established that...let's see what we can do to make you successful.
I'm starting this blog on January 1, 2008. I've spent most of the day setting up the domain mapping, getting the blog up and running, and trying to get the backend stuff smoothed out. At this point, I think we're ready to go.
College Students Rule is going to be a blog written for college students with tips, articles, and how-to's in the areas of college life, academics, finances, extracurricular activities, technology, media, roommates, and so much more.
Since this is a day for resolutions...here's my goals for College Students Rule (CSR):
1. 500 posts in the first year.
2. 12 Guest Authors who will write for CSR.
3. 3 Downloadable Ebooks that will be written to resource college students.
4. Become the "go to guide" for college students looking to succeed during their time in college.
If you'd like to help me get this project off the ground, shoot me an email at collegestudentsrule (at) gmail.com.
Hana hou! Tim, this is fabulous. Another site by the creative and huge-hearted Tim Milburn just made this world a better place.
I love what you do: Your ho'ohana to bring leadership smarts to our youth helps fill such a great need for our communities, and you live and work with aloha. Mahalo for being their coach and champion, and for setting such a terrific example for the rest of us.
You know you can count on me: Let me know how I can help. ~ Rosa

Rosa and Phil:
It's like posting the first dollar of your new business on the wall. Your welcoming and encouraging comments are great affirmation for this project. I'm excited to see what this baby looks at when we roll around to 1/1/09!

Congratulations Tim! Excellent goals! What a great resource this will be! I'll definitely start thinking about a post on organizing in college if that will be of help to you. It's been a long time since I was in college...but I'll do my best!
Look to me like you've got everything it takes to make this a HUGE Success!

Fantastic Tim! I love the design. Your use of whitespace was part of the inspiration for my own recent redesign work and the blog feels so much better for it.
I'll have a think about a post or two on writing tips - I know essay writing can be a big bugbear for college students

@ Ariane - Wow...organizing for the college student would be a cool topic...like how to make the most of a dorm room. Thanks for your encouragement.
@ Joanna - I'm so glad to read your kind words here. Your redesign looks great. I would love to get an article on how to write a great essay.
