Plagiarism Checkers

Writing is necessary for all your college admission essays since it is the best tool for gauging how well you understand a given topic. To write effectively, you need to avoid plagiarism, which necessitates plagiarism checkers. Therefore, you should arm yourself with the best plagiarism checkers to keep you off the trap of intellectual fraud and dishonesty.

Dictionaries

Without a proper dictionary, your stay at college and ability to express yourself effectively will be blunt. Your writing efforts will be like the proverbial toothless bulldog that can only bark but can't bite. If you need some sharp teeth and an edge in your verbal and written expression, you should invest in a quality dictionary suited for college student needs. You can get them in hard and soft copies to ensure you have a sophisticated vocabulary.

Dictation Apps

Do you ever reach a point where you don't have time or even desire to write or type your notes? Finding yourself in that mood where you don't feel like writing anything is normal for all college students. But the good news is that technology has availed many dictation apps you can use to save yourself typing efforts and time. You only need to dictate what you want, and the app will translate it digitally into whatever you want. You can also take the same notes and paste them into other apps and even email them.

Planner and Organizer Apps

Your life in college remains lame and unproductive without the proper planning of your time and tasks. That is why you need to get proper hard and soft planners and organizers to help you manage your time. The Net has many of them with most of them being optimized for mobile devices.

Storage Tools

Lastly, you need storage resources for your digital content. One of the tools you can optimize is Dropbox. With this app, you can store your notes in the cloud and access them anywhere. This way, you no longer need to carry flash disks. Other apps that do the same thing are Google Drive and OneDrive from Microsoft. The best side of these tools is their ability to function on desktops and mobile devices.

With the above tools, you can make your note-taking, storage and access, and planning processes in college more effective. They are also suitable for enriching your vocabulary and helping you to beat plagiarism.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
