1. Easybib

When you have to cite in MLA, APA, or Chicago citation...this is your lifesaver. You just plug in all the information and it will make sure that it is formatted correctly. One less thing you have to worry about.


2. Rate My Professor

It is time to schedule your classes and the times are great but you aren't sure which professor is best? This is your answer. Most colleges tell you not to rely on this website but I found it to be very accurate and a nice guideline as far as what to expect.

3. Bibme

It is a great citation tool just like Easybib but also has a Plagiarism and Grammar Checker which is even more helpful.

4. Amazon

This is where you get books. Any type: textbooks, novels, binders...I have found the best prices and the delivery time is so nice. Usually, your professors are understanding when it's being shipped, but if not Amazon is very quick so you don't have to stress when you will receive it.

5. Pinterest

I was very surprised how much help and ideas I got from Pinterest. Whether it was for my dorm, an essay, a project, or an activity, I got most of my inspiration from Pinterest. It was great because most of it came from students so they could relate to what resources you might have.

6. Quizlet

A HUGE website where students can make flashcard sets and share them with others. I find the specific set I need for classes nine times out of ten. It saves me so much time and sometimes they include information that I did not have. That being said, if you feel more comfortable making your own...its saves paper and time too.

7. TED Talks

Another website that provides TONS of ideas and information. Most of the time when you think of TED Talks, you think about professors showing them during lectures. However, I have learned that you can get so much information on about anything and it gets to be addicting..kind of like YouTube when you see another video on the sidebar.


8. Grammarly

Last but not least, MY FAVORITE! I have it downloaded on my computer and I always pull it up before I submit a paper. I copy and paste my paper into the Grammarly app and it will show me any misused words, punctuation errors, spelling errors, and more.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
