5 Websites To Help You Get Work Done

We all wish we could zip through all our responsibilities in college and the workplace with perfect efficiency, wasting absolutely no time and getting everything done in a timely manner. Well, that's just not realistic for most of us who are human. But here are a few websites that can help boost your productivity and make working a little more pleasant.

1. Momentum

Momentum is an extension for Chrome that converts your 'New Tab' into a working dashboard. It displays a beautiful scenic background, greets you by name, and allows you to add a 'focus.' It also has the weather of your current location, an inspirational quote, and the ability to create a todo list right from your new tab.

2. Todoist


Todoist isn't just an online to-do list. You can create tasks with specific times, labels, priorities, or for a certain project. You can sort tasks by 'Next # of Days,' or view all upcoming tasks and sort by date, priority level, and more. And every time you complete a task, you earn Karma points to track your productivity. Even better, there's an app too, so you can stay synced with tasks on your phone.

3. Pandora

Everyone knows Pandora is great for jamming out, but it's perfect for getting work done as well. Try their Instrumental Station or Smooth Jazz for background music that will dull your surroundings and keep you from getting distracted.

4. soundrown

Soundrown is like Pandora, but instead of music, it's just background noise. With settings like 'coffee shop,' 'night,' or 'fire,' you can put yourself in the perfect mental space to be productive. You can mix different sound effects and control the volume of each, to create a rainy night or a fire crackling in a coffee shop.

5. Silk

You've been working so hard, you deserve a break! Silk is a website for 'Interactive Generative Art,' or in other words, high tech doodling. There are options to change colors, how to reflect or mirror your doodle, and to share it with others. It's a relaxing way to let your brain take some time off while you create art.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
