9 Extremely Useful Websites For College Students
The Organised Student

College can be really hard. Luckily, the internet is a great tool to help college students in times of need. Here are some of the most useful college websites around:

1. Quizlet

https://quizlet.com

Quizlet is the greatest thing that has ever happened to college students. That online exam? It is on there. That intense Spanish worksheet? Yeah, it is there too. Basically, Quizlet is the holy grail of all websites for college students.

2. CheggStudy

https://www.chegg.com/study

My personal favorite on the list goes to CheggStudy. CheggStudy is the best. It has almost every type of question imaginable on a database that you might feel compelled to ask. To make the website even better, if your question has not been asked, you can ask it and get a question in minutes. The only con to this website is it requires a $15 per month subscription.

3. Mathway

https://www.mathway.com

Are you struggling with math? If you are, than congratulations, Mathway is the website made for you. Mathway is an advanced math problem solving tool that can help you with your math homework. You type in your problem and it gives you the answer. The solutions can be shown, however, it requires a subscription.

4. RateMyProfessors

https://www.ratemyprofessors.com

This website is my personal savior when it comes time to make my class schedule. This website serves as a database for college professors. You simply just search the name and almost anything you want or need to know about a professor pops up on one simple page.

5. Written Kitten

http://writtenkitten.co

Writing can be the worst sometimes. However, Written Kitten just made reaching that 1500 word minimum so much easier. Written Kitten provides a picture of a kitten for you when you reach your word count, and trust me, the kittens are super cute.

6. The Skimm

http://www.theskimm.com

It is important to know what is going on in the world. Want a personal, yet somewhat sassy summary of all the note worthy things going on in the world? Skimm is for you. Skimm even offers a daily email to start of your day with some news.

7. KeepMeOut

http://keepmeout.com/en/

This website is good if you are a chronic tweeter/ Facebook user. This website blocks you out of social media for however long you enter. When the time is up, it allows you to re visit those websites you blocked. This website is great to use while studying.

8. The Owl

https://owl.english.purdue.edu

Remember that time you were stressing over that one paper you had to write in APA format? This website would have helped you. The Owl is a website that gives writing and formatting information. All the information is correct and extremely useful.

9. BibMe

http://www.bibme.org

Writing papers is already the worst, but citing your sources is just as bad. This website takes away all the hassle of citing your sources. Just enter the information into the blanks and then the website will create a bibliography or citation for you in seconds.

Happy studying!

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
