15 Reasons College Students Should Use Flashnotes.com
Flashnotes.com

Zara Mahmood, a junior at Boston University, has always had a knack for taking good notes. When her roommate noticed a link for Flashnotes.com, she encouraged Zara to check it out. Mahmood, an advertising major and business minor, is now Flashnotes.com's most well-paid student sellers. The average student is making $31/HR on the site, while other top sellers have cashed-in at over $5,000 by selling their study materials.

"Did she just say she gets paid to take notes?"

Yeah, I did. Not only does Flashnotes.com allow students to enhance all aspects of their educational lives, but they will pay you while doing so. Need more reasons to start using the site? Here are 15.

1. Flashnotes.com allows students to sell their class notes, flash cards and study guides to their fellow classmates. Additionally, these note takers can host live Q&A's and live video help sessions right on the site.

2. So if you focus and take good notes, your GPA and your bank account will both be thankful.

3. After you ace the exam you made a study guide for, you can celebrate at Roys with the money you made selling notes.

4. According to Mahmood, "it's been gratifying and I have grown as an individual." Mahmood talked about how satisfying it was to empower students by helping them with their studies.

5. Flashnotes.com is the only business of its kind that allows partnerships with disability offices to offset their program costs and provide students with disabilities 24/7 access to course materials for free.

6. Mahmood explained to me how the Flashnotes.com team is one that really cares about their users. "The general vibe I get from them is that they genuinely care. They are not just there for the money, they want to positively impact the educational system."

7. If you show the Flashnotes.com team that you have what it takes to be a successful note-taker, they will provide you with marketing tools to up your sales.

8. Again... you are getting paid to do what you should be doing anyway when in college.

9. Who doesn't like A's and Abe's? (Get it? I mean good grades and money.)

10. Flashnotes.com guarantees that there is not plagiarism, plagiarism – they actually use detection software on the site and have a zero tolerance policy for any exams or homework posted for sale. They are all about academic integrity.

11. “Students have the opportunity to start their own business within ours," said CEO and creator Mike Matousek, "We are a platform that allows our note takers to work at their own pace, help themselves by reviewing the material while composing their notes and guides and by also helping others by selling their material."

12. Flashnotes.com encourages students to work with faculty members, allowing them to strengthen relationships with their professors (which comes in handy when you need a letter of recommendation.)

13. Matousek went on to talk about how much of a resume builder the site can be. “Being a note taker shows initiative. It shows that the individual wants to make a different with his or her contribution. That stands out when you are in an interview."

14. You can work at your own pace, set your own price and have complete control of how your run your business within their business.

15. I will say it one last time... good grades and money. Isn't that what all college students want?

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.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
