Commitment is messy, and school is expensive. Instead of dropping a pretty penny on tech, why not get subscriptions instead? Set yourself up for success this school year with these tech tools, and then return your products when the school year is over and you’re ready to move on to bigger and better things.
Commitment is messy. Just Rentoza it.
