For many students the shuffle of orientation, welcome back partying, and unpacking, has ended and given way the shuffle to classes.
With college just getting back into full swing, we at the College Money Network have decided to have a shuffle of our own in the form of a Give-Away. As part of the shuffle the members of the CMN will be moving between blogs, and doing a series of "Back to School" guest posts on other members sites. Be sure to check out the first swap over at Broke Grad Student, who will be sharing an article by Green Panda Treehouse.
Besides reading fascinating articles you also have the chance to win some awesome prizes. Just in time to help ease the reading and workload that teachers seem intent on piling on the first week.
Prizes
- 4GB iPod shuffle
- Copy of The Total Money Makeover
- One-year magazine subscription to Kiplinger's or Money Magazine
$20 Starbucks gift certificate
Each of the CMN sites will have separate chances to enter - so be sure to check out each article to maximize your chances of winning. Here are the ways to enter at Spilling Buckets:
- 1 entry - friend Spilling Buckets on Facebook
- 1 entry - follow Spilling Buckets on Twitter. (I'll need verify that your account isn't spam)
- 1 entry - leave a comment on our blog and if interested subscribe to our feed.
- 3 entries - write a blog post, or send us an email (if you don't have a blog) regarding finances in college. You can write about your student loan debt, your after college plans, tips for incoming freshmen... anything related to finance and college. Be sure to send me the link, and link back to this give-away to ensure I see the post. You don't have to be in college currently to write something.
