6 Chrome Extensions That Saved My School Year

In This Article:

The start of my semester started off pretty poorly. Like a lot of people, I was unmotivated and already stressed. The first couple of weeks of college was a disaster. Combining these Chrome tools and an actual working sleep schedule saved me from failing my first class.

1. Grammarly

Grammarly is an essential for any student. It will check the spelling, grammar, punctuation, and tone of the writing for you and give suggestions on how to make your writing its best. It works on multiple writing platforms and really easy to use.

2. Netflix Party

There has to be a balance of a social life in this crazy year. Netflix Party has given my friends and I something fun to do while being apart. Netflix Party allows multiple people to watch the same movie or show on Netflix at the same time. There is even a little comment section to send messages or jokes to each other when there's a plot twist.

3. Dark Reader

Ever have those annoying websites that only show BRIGHTEST screen possibly for no reason when you're doing homework at 2 am? I know you have. Dark Reader is the extension that makes every website into a dark mode. It can also simply turn off the bright white tint from the screen giving it a more gray look. It has saved my eyes from straining.

4. Honey

Honey is the money-saving extension. It has saved me so much money because of my new formed online shopping habit. Honey will find the best deals and help you out during checkout.

5. Current

Current is a mindfulness and meditation extension. Every new tab you open opens you to a short reflection statement which reminds you to take a second and breathe. In addition to that, they have more in depth and longer breathing sessions and mediations that take a few minutes, and are perfect to help you de-stress at any time of the day.

6. Coffeelings

The aesthetic of this extension is amazing. Like the name suggests, it's related to coffee, but not in the way you would expect. The purpose is to rate your day, based on the color of the coffee, like a short mood-based diary. It takes a short second to choose. The best part is, it saves each day and allows you to look at every color next each other and you get to see a wonderful gradient of your days.

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.

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.

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.
