How+to+Set+Up+an+E-mail+Account

We recommend you use a Gmail account, which is an awesome Google application that has multiple functions. Gmail lets you upload documents and photos to share with your peers, coworkers, and classmates. You also have a calendar function to keep track of your plans, a social networking site, and a Tasks/Reminders list!

Remember your email address is something that you're going to use for a very long time - make sure it's professional! Do you think an address like crazysoccerplayer@gmail.com or lavendertoes@gmail.com would be appropriate on a business card or resume? It should be simple, straightforward and easy to remember - and think about whether or not you'd want that address when you're 30-something years old! Recommend using your first and last name or initials.
