The purpose of this task is for current MIT students to share their experiences with regards to a particular aspect of MIT life.
The preview feature allow the user to proofread what s/he has written before final submission to check for errors.

This task can be performed anywhere with a smartphone, but will probably be performed most often at stores right after a purchase is made. This task will most likely be performed at least once a day. This task might be constrained by time, especially if the user is inputting on the go.
This task is learned by trying it because there will be a very intuitive, easy to use interface for the user to input information.
This task is reasonably prone to user error because the user might be constrained by time or distractions when he is entering values for his expenses and budget. Because the user is entering values on a mobile phone, he might additionally mistype a value that can later affect his spending decisions. To account for this, there will be immediate feedback after a user has saved an input so that the user can perform a sanity check to see if he made any gross errorsA potential use case would be students submitting malicious stories about other dorms. We may include an option to report stories for spam or abuse, or simply have an option to notify the webmasters/moderators to remove the story manually.
