Extension: Dictionary Tooltip

Extension: Forecast Fox
Why it’s good for college: Call me pessimistic but I doubt very many college kids flip on The Today Show for the weather in the morning. Roll out of bed fire up your browser (something most of us do anyway) and get the forecast.

Extension: Gmail notifier
Why it’s good for college: I live and die by this extension. It sits in the very corner of your browser and notifies you when you have been sent an email. Great for those last minute cancellation emails by professors. It also helps you wow people with your fast response times and the quicker you can get back to them, the quicker they can get back to you. Efficient.
