I wish I would have thought of this...

If this isn't the best way to spend your free time in college, then I don't know what is. A University of Arkansas freshman just won $25,000 in an Internet video contest. You know his parents are proud! I think I just watched TV and hung out with friends when I wasn't working or going to class... very non-productive compared to this guy! The contest was featured on YouTube. To enter, participants had to make a video to the "New Numa" song, which is a Romanian pop song that became famous on YouTube when someone put a video of themselves on the website lip-syncing it. Well, Arkansas's own Keith Eddy and a friend from down the hall decided to enter the contest. The result... a really creative video and $25,000 in winnings... not too bad for a couple of freshmen! By the way, Keith still managed to make a 4.0 this year too, despite spending about month creating the video. Here's a link to the video if you want to check it out for yourself... just a warning though, it's about 10 minutes long, so sit back and relax. YouTube New Numa Video
