Answer:
College students are always begging for free stuff while getting a leg up on the whole world. Go to your Campus library and get the librarian to show you how or direct you to the campus IT resource where they can fix things for you. That's some of what you paid for, so take advantage of it.There should be smart folks all over the place who geek the heck out of computers and gadgets and one would love to help you if you'd just put out your hand and computer.
