USB accessories

You’ve probably never thought about it, but your USB port is a great source of entertainment. It’s more than just an iPod hookup or a flash drive destination; it’s a whole world of fun, if only you know how to utilize it. You can even power a dancing robot.

You can fill your room with a luscious scent. You could also grow your own mini greenhouse. The possibilities are endless (practically). Just visit http://usb.brando.com.hk and peruse the vast selection of USB port-powered items and start bonding with your almost-forgotten friend.

read

Read a book.

It’s a simple, low-cost, good-for-your-brain activity, and just think about how you’ll be able to impress your friends and loved ones. College is supposed to be about learning, but that doesn’t mean all of it should take place in a classroom. First, search for “Read a Book” on YouTube for some inspiration. Then put down that textbook you were pretending to skim, head to library or the Dusty Bookshelf, 708 Massachusetts St., and lose yourself in some literature. A few Jayplay-recommended reads: I am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert, Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer, and Ishmael by Daniel Quinn.
