Upon entering college four months ago, I was convinced my college email address would be able to handle everything I needed. Unfortunately it filled within a month and wouldn't let me receive new messages. My business school mentor told me to use Gmail since it was the most amazing thing he'd ever used on the computer. I couldn't deal with the hassle of deleting messages from my mailbox every two days on my college account. With Gmail I'm able to get my mail from the other account, keep it organized and make sure that I don't miss anything important when sorting my mail. I also keep in touch with my parents and sister a lot more now since I don't have a lot of time to make phone calls but Gmail is always there! Gmail saved my life more than a few times this semester, the hardest one of my college career hopefully, by always saving everything right down to the drafts of my emails, seconds after I've written them. Gmail also saved me when my computer screen died hours before a final paper was due and I was able to get the file off a different computer in the library.
