Junior Recommends: Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go

Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go is High Speed Web Access From Your Laptop.

I can't believe how amazing this thing is. I was riding the bus from Maine to Boston while using it for the first time. Been using it since I arrived in Boston. I was/am impressed with the service and connection. I was surfing the net on the go. What's unique about Virgin's Broadband2Go is it's pay as you go. You select the desired data plan based upon your needs and time. You then have an allotted MBs bank and timeframe to utilize them in. You can reload funds either by a Debit/Credit card or by purchasing a Top Up card. Using it is as easy as plugging a USB device into your laptop and instantly connect to the internet from almost anywhere in the country. Surf the web, check email, download files, and more - all at lightning-fast speed. This certainly beats purchasing one with a major carrier without obtaining a service agreement. Bravo Virgin Mobile, Bravo!

Built-in usage meter lets you know how many megabytes you have left in your Broadband2Go Plan.

Take Action: Write a Letter to the Editor to Make College Affordable

I just sent a letter to the editor of the local paper to raise awareness about the student aid bill that is now pending in Congress. This bill, which is called the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, will raise Pell grants and make college more affordable by cutting wasteful government subsidies to student loan companies.

Do you think that student loan companies should be able to continue receiving taxpayer dollars, or do you think that the $87 billion we can save by making the financial aid programs more efficient should be used to invest in the next generation of teachers, doctors, and scientists? I think that students should come first, and that we should focus on lowering student debt and expanding college access to millions of young people that are currently shut out of the process.

If you agree, then these next two months are crucial. Student loan companies want to protect their government subsidies, and have launched a multi-million dollar lobbying and public relations campaign to stop reform.

You could really help out by sending a letter to the editor of your local paper calling for support for the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act. Campus Progress has set up a web tool to make it very easy, and they have some talking points that might be helpful. You can take action at: http://bit.ly/91kcZ.

Thanks for your help!

Pemaquid Point Lighthouse

I had the weekend off with no major plans. Decided to go on an adventure. I wanted to check out some sights in Maine before I left. I really haven't seen much since I have been up here. Kevin suggested we check out Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. It's the lighthouse that the Maine state quarter displays. I was all in due to me never visiting a lighthouse before. The view was breathtaking. Seeing the ocean almost reminded me of being back in Florida. It made me miss home a little. The lighthouse was closed so I could not go up it, but it was still a great site to check out. The coolest part is the rocks along the shore and being able to walk on them.
