The AcademicGirl

For the girl who's a contender for the position of valedictorian, you should get her a graduation gift that she will be able to use while she studies. This girl needs a notebook computer that has a high speed processor and strong internet usability. She's going to college, and most universities have internet access to all kinds of amazing databases online that make researching an academic's dream come true. LexisNexis, Infotrac, Academic Universe, and many others will assist the student in any research paper imaginable. She needs to be able to access this from the coffee shop or her dorm while her roommate searches Facebook for cute upperclassmen. She will appreciate the notebook immensely. A notebook is a great gift for any grad, but the academic absolutely must have one or she will never be able to leave her room, and for these girls, leaving their rooms and the library every once in a while is something they need more than they realize.
