Checking your email daily (sometimes 15 times a day) is completely normal for college students. So while you’re at, why not add some daily knowledge into your inbox? Newsletters can provide you with all the information you need — whether it’s something inspiring, fun or informational —about the day or week in a single place. You can easily stay up to date with all the happenings in the world while giving yourself a great excuse to check your email for the 16th time.

Staying up to date with what’s happening in the country alone isn’t enough.
