7 Twitter Accounts Every College Student Should be Following

Being a soon-to-be college student, I don't need to tell you that Twitter is just for fun or friends anymore. These days, we use it for everything- sharing things with friends, networking, news, and yes, to look at funny animal pictures and keep up with our favorite celebrities.

7 Twitter Accounts Every College Student Should be Following

Why should being a college student be any different?

Easy - it shouldn't .

Where you're just starting to look at schools or already in a school, adding these accounts to your feed for tips you won't seem to find anywhere else.

@cnnbrk

Twitter bio: Breaking news from CNN Digital. Now 55M strong. Check @cnn for all things CNN, breaking and more.

CNN Breaking New brings the fastest news on Twitter. It breaks quicker here than any other CNN sources, which is great when writing a paper.

@HuffPostCollege

I'd recommend following this account to any student. This account keeps followers up to date with the latest college news stories, nationwide. They also tweet about handling different situations students find themselves in. This is a must-follow for all students!

@"Your School"

As a student, you should always be following your school. Following your schools Twitter account keeps you up to date and informed about things such as: school closings, events, and deadlines to add or drop classes.

@motivation

I don't know about you, but I find College life is just as stressful as it is fun. Motivation tweets different quotes from successful people. Follow this account, and you might read a quote someday that just might motivate you to get out of bed and make an early morning Monday class.

@TweetMyJobs

If you're an upperclassmen getting ready to enter the world, you could benefit from following Tweet My Jobs. This account tweets job openings in different fields, in areas all over the United States. Get a step ahead of your competition by being the first to hear about job openings that you're qualified for.

@CNN

As a communications major, I've been taught to understand the importance of being media-literate. If you want to be successful in life, you have to know what's going on in the world. I follow CNN because it brings me news from all around the world. Who says you have to watch the news or read the paper to keep yourself informed? You're going to read tweets off of your TL all day anyway, so you might as well read some news too.
