Students, you know how it is: you’re caffeinated, your eyelids feel heavy, and you’re 2 pages away from completing that rushed Humanities essay on Galileo’s letter to the Grand Duchess. And you’ll also relate if you’ve ever poured over a work proposal for an upcoming project.

Computers work tirelessly and help us get the job done faster. Plus with the wide variety of font options, graphics-manipulation programs, and WYSIWYG features, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to make your reports and other documents look neat and professional.

Of course we’re not all about work (No androids here!). We kick it by listening to tunes we recently downloaded, playing that new PC adventure game, and checking our e-mail to see if Erin posted the new cottage photos on Facebook yet.

We rely on our computers to connect us to a whole world of electronic social communication and a virtually endless research inventory. But if your computer seems slower these days, don’t wait for it to bite the dust. Replace it with one of the great ones by Dell!

Until the early morning on October 11, if you use the Dell coupon, you’ll get $350 off all Inspiron desktop orders over $999 (before tax, fees, shipping, and handling)! You could save as much as 35%.

And with the free coupon, you don’t have to worry about giving out your personal information. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to save!

Unless you’ve been living under a moss-covered rock in seclusion for a decade, chances are that you know all about Foot Locker. They’re a company devoted to providing customers with footwear, sports gear, and accessories from all your favorite brands such as Heelys and Puma.

But did you know that they’re a great place to shop for your traveling essentials too? That’s right!

And I’ll let you in on a secret: For 4 days only (September 27 to September 30), use the coupon to get 30% off at the Friends and Family Sale! You don’t have to give out your personal information or bother with annoying sign-ups. Just click, get the coupon, and save!

Now for some useful traveling goodies:

Turbie Twist Velour Hair Towel (2 Pack)

Never struggle while wrapping your hair in a bath towel! This smart and light design is easy to use and takes up very little space in your suitcase. It also cuts down drying time. (I use this every morning.)

Adidas Men’s F50.6 TUNIT Comfort Chassis (Black/Red)

Long walks are nice (and sometimes romantic), but never mind all that if your pedal pushers are throbbing, sore, and uncomfortable. These insoles add cushioning and stability.

CleenFreek SportsHygiene Hand Sanitizer Gel

Sometimes your journeys take you to places where soap and a sink aren’t nearby, such as at the park. This hand sanitizer prevents cross-contamination of germs and is good to tide you over until you wash your hands.

Shop at Foot Locker today and set out on your adventure!

World Tourism Day - I love using those Facebook applications that show your friends just where you’ve visited. Except then I see where they’ve been, and I get jealous. Luckily, Orbitz is making travel a breeze (an affordable breeze) this World Tourism Day. Now you can get $15 off 2 nights, $50 off 4 nights or $75 off 5+ nights at any Orbitz hotel! Let the Facebook map war begin!

Ancestor Appreciation Day - Ever seen your family tree? How far does it go back? Probably not as far as Ancient Egypt, Rome or, heck, even Africa. So how can you appreciate your ancestors if you don’t even know anything about them? Head over to your local museum and brush up on your history. You can get up to 50% off your visit when you use your Entertainment Book, too.

Other September 27 Holidays -

• Crush a Can Day
• Dragonfight Day
