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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
