As a university student, the internet defintely comes in handy. I can search for online journals whenever I feel like it. I can submit course work, download lectures notes and check my marks.

The internet has introduced me to communities and allows me to talk to people all over the world. It may seem naive, but at one point, I thought I was the only 16 year old Bon Jovi fan. Then I found this board, and realized "Wow...there are a whole bunch of people like me."

When our internet connection was cut a few weeks ago, I was able to function without having that connection all the time. It is a convenience. If I didn't have the internet at home, I could not be bother to go up to campus to check my email or other sites. My housemates, however, are completely dependent on the internet. Holy withdrawal symptoms when the connection was cut LOL
