Ok this is an awesome idea. I'm a student and really cheap and I don't really like using my credit card to buy things online but this is awesome.

Re:Meltdown, a description of life at MIT on Wednesday October 31, 2012 @01:37AM (#4721392)
Is this article only important because it was posted by a student at MIT? Frankly, this is a description of any person with self esteem problems, being at MIT doesn't make it any more 'interesting' or 'deep'.
