As you all are probably already aware, the real world has seriously cramped my blogging time and creativity. So, that explains the sheer lack of posts over the last months. In an effort to get things back on track, I have sought out new contributers for the site. I’m excited for the fresh ideas and writing that these people will bring to the site. If you’re interested in writing, please contact me! My first new contributer for the site is Maria Schwartzman, and she is going to rock! She’s fabulous and I know you will all love her and her writing!

Here’s a little introduction from Maria:

Hello to all the College Students are Poor readers! My name is Maria Schwartzman, and I’m a senior computer science major with a Spanish minor at a small liberal arts school in Indiana. Around campus I am very involved and am on the cross country and track teams, run the knitting group, participate as a tour guide, and am the head computer science tutor, among many other activities currently and over the past years.

For CSAP, I’ll be writing a lot about how to save money by living a sustainable lifestyle! This will include dorm room gardening tips, cooking and recipe ideas, farmer’s markets and other locally-grown food options, and other ways to go green as a college student. Greening up your lifestyle is a great way to save some money and become healthier in the process. I can’t wait to share things I’ve learned with you all and am really looking forward to hearing your ideas and feedback!

I’m very much excited to have Maria writing for the site! She is going to bring a ton of great insight for you all to read! Go and take a look at Maria’s website and also make sure you are following her on Twitter! Also, please leave a comment and welcome Maria to CSAP!
