Has your browser ever crashed from too many open tabs? Have you ever accidentally pressed the back button on your browser, only to lose all of your written work? Not anymore! Perhaps you want to make your articles more marketable or learn to market them better. This list has got you covered there too.

1. OneTab

If you're like me, you usually end up with 27 or 50 tabs open at one time. Your computer starts going slower, but you can't seem to make yourself close those tabs. You need them, but not right at this moment. Bookmarking them doesn't seem appropriate, but OneTab makes it convenient for you to collapse your open pages into one tab! The tab essentially lists all your pages. You can even place tabs there from multiple dates! This tab has saved me (and my laptop!) a lot of time.

2. RiteTag


If you use Twitter, this browser extension is a great way to improve your skills. You can improve your Twitter updates by knowing the popularity of a hashtag and associated hashtags. You can even view influencers of hashtags, and tweet to them!

3. Lazarus Form Recovery for Firefox and Chrome

One time I was writing an article, and my browser crashed. Not only did my browser crash, but I was using the wi-fi at my university, which is not always reliable. So, the progress I had made on my article in the past hour was completely gone. The Odyssey website, which is great at saving articles for you, was not communicating with my internet connection. I was determined to never let such a thing happen again, and that is when I found Lazarus.

4. Moz's Keyword Explorer

Enter a term or a phrase, and Moz will give you great data on the marketability of your topic. My favorite thing about Moz is the "Keyword Suggestions" offered by them. This can be very useful in helping you consider alternative titles for your articles or help you find various words and phrases to tag your articles with. You can use this service for free twice a day!

5. CoSchedule's Headline Analyzer

Worried about your headline length or power? CoSchedule has got you covered. According to CoSchedule, the most successful headlines are composed of a nice ratio of common, uncommon, emotional, and power words.

6. Emotional Headline Analyzer

I prefer this tool over CoSchedule. This tool will give you the percentage of emotional words that your headline contains. It then divides the emotional words into three categories: spiritual, intellectual, and empathetic. This article title received an emotional marketing value score of 83.33% and was classified as an intellectual headline.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
