Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!
I’m going to art school (for college) this upcoming fall, and I will be buying a laptop for it. I will be using it for school work and digital painting with a Wacom tablet.
What’s the best brand + model I should look into? My budget is under 00, so no MacBooks. (And I want it new, not used.)
Thanks!
