Plagiarism Checkers

Writing is necessary for all your college admission essays since it is the best tool for gauging how well you understand a given topic. To write effectively, you need to avoid plagiarism, which necessitates plagiarism checkers. Therefore, you should arm yourself with the best plagiarism checkers to keep you off the trap of intellectual fraud and dishonesty.

Dictionaries

Without a proper dictionary, your stay at college and ability to express yourself effectively will be blunt. Your writing efforts will be like the proverbial toothless bulldog that can only bark but can't bite. If you need some sharp teeth and an edge in your verbal and written expression, you should invest in a quality dictionary suited for college student needs. You can get them in hard and soft copies to ensure you have a sophisticated vocabulary.

Dictation Apps

Do you ever reach a point where you don't have time or even desire to write or type your notes? Finding yourself in that mood where you don't feel like writing anything is normal for all college students. But the good news is that technology has availed many dictation apps you can use to save yourself typing efforts and time. You only need to dictate what you want, and the app will translate it digitally into whatever you want. You can also take the same notes and paste them into other apps and even email them.

Planner and Organizer Apps

Your life in college remains lame and unproductive without the proper planning of your time and tasks. That is why you need to get proper hard and soft planners and organizers to help you manage your time. The Net has many of them with most of them being optimized for mobile devices.

Storage Tools

Lastly, you need storage resources for your digital content. One of the tools you can optimize is Dropbox. With this app, you can store your notes in the cloud and access them anywhere. This way, you no longer need to carry flash disks. Other apps that do the same thing are Google Drive and OneDrive from Microsoft. The best side of these tools is their ability to function on desktops and mobile devices.

With the above tools, you can make your note-taking, storage and access, and planning processes in college more effective. They are also suitable for enriching your vocabulary and helping you to beat plagiarism.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
