This is the first in ZCL’s new series of awards: The ZCL College Post of The Month. This will be awarded to other college bloggers who write posts which we at ZCL consider well written and exceptionally useful to college students. For the first month of awards we have some pretty great posts. It was difficult to choose, because I subscribe to so many great college blogs. Here’s what we have for May 2009:
