11 Websites For College Students To Ace Those Finals

Sweat pants, pizza rolls, attitude, lack of showering...yeah, it's definitely nearing finals week. You tell yourself you're going to study 24/7, and you definitely plan on sticking to that. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't; it happens to the best of us. But why not try some new ways to make the most of your study hours this semester so that you ace your finals and stay somewhat sane. It sounds nearly impossible, unimaginable even, I know. But it's real, and these websites can help you get there.


Hemingway Editor


This will pretty much let you know your teacher's comments on your paper before before they even make them. Copy and paste your essay into Hemingway Editor, and the site will highlight long, complex sentences, any use of passive voice, and other common errors. It'll also highlight adverbs and give you stronger options to use instead. As much as I love getting my paper handed back with a rainbow on it, it's probably not for the best.

The Online Books Page

With over 30,000 books to choose from, you can (FOR FREE) find a reading for practically any topic you're working on. Did I mention they're free? Thank you, University of Pennsylvania for allowing us frugal college students to remain nifty and thrifty; we owe you one.

GradeSaver

A little like SparkNotes, but with a few different things to offer. This site has study guides for a bunch of books, plays, poems and films. Plus, there's a whole section dedicated to giving you answers for those pesky questions in the back of your textbook.


STUDY BREAK!

StudentRate

I'm truly honored to introduce you to your new best friend. This site gives you discounts on so many different brands all because you're a student. Tip: Always check Student Rate before you make any purchases. You're welcome.



Keep Me Out

Whether you're addiction is Facebook, YouTube or Pinterest, Keep Me Out will keep you from being able to access those sites more than once in the length of time that you set it for. It literally keeps you out! Sort of annoying , but it's kind of handy at the same time.

Wolfram-Alpha


This site basically answers your homework problems for you and gives you other resources that might be able to help you with your questions. Luckily, it has a huge list of topics to choose from, so you can pretty much use this site as a resource for any of your classes.

Quizlet

Most of us have used this since elementary school, but it's that great. Save some time (and trees) by typing your flashcards here instead of writing them down. It's likely that there's even a set of flashcards with most of your review questions on them already that you can use. The site also lets you spice things up with different games and study modes for going through your note cards.

Written? Kitten!

Attention all animal lovers: constantly getting distracted by cute animal pictures or videos on Facebook? This site is your new best friend. Write your essays on this site and be rewarded with a picture of a kitten, puppy or bunny for every 100 words you write. Motivational? I think so.


STUDY BREAK!

1000LifeHacks

Read through awkward but oddly convenient solutions to life problems you might not have even realized you had. Definitely keep some of these in mind to make your life a just a little bit easier.


Roger Hub

When you enter your current grade, the grade you want to end the semester with, and how much your final exam is worth, this site will calculate the minimum percentage that you have to get on your final to reach the overall grade you want for the class.

StackExchange

With over 153 expert-filled communities, you can go to this question-and-answer forum with any problems that you're having. The people you'll hear back from are passionate experts in the according topic, so you know you'll be getting trustworthy solutions. You'll be surprised how many responses you'll get in a short amount of time - making this the perfect site for you to get some outside help for your study problems.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
