Helpful Websites For College

I am on my second year of college and have learned some things in that time being. I'm not going to say that I have everything figured out because if you have talked to me in real life you will see I don't. I have found some websites that have helped me make it through my first year of college. These websites have helped me and may not help you. We are all in different situations and live different lives.

1. RateMyProfessors.com

This is a life saver. I'm not even joking when I say this. This has saved many kids from picking teachers they may not do well with. On this website students do anonymous reviews of different teachers on your campus. Literally every teacher that I have taken and had been rated on this site were very accurate. I even went on the website after finishing a class and game my opinion hoping to help others that are looking for some insight into the classes that are on our schedule.


2. Chegg.com

Here's one really good advice, never buy your books. Don't buy your book if you don't need to. Save your money and just rent them for less. Books cost so much and you literally use them for one semester and sometimes you use them very little. So if you can't find your book online rent your books here. Its a website where you can rent textbooks , sell textbooks , and can help with homework. When the semester is over you have to send them back through UPS without an additional charge.

3. DineOnCampus.com

ChartWell is this catering company that will probably be catering to your dining halls. You have limited amount of meal plans and don't want to waste them. Check this website site out and it will tell you what is acceptable as a one of your meal plans. It will also list the menu for the day so you can plan accordingly. I have had many bad days at the dining halls and ended up eating nothings. SO don't waste your meals like I did you can check before you swipe and decide before you go to the dining hall. It also shows what you can order that would be considered a meal plan if you choose to eat at one of the dining establishments; such as Chick- fill-a. It includes information on calories, proteins, information for vegans and vegetarians for those wanting to avoid the freshman 15.

4. Quizlet.com

This is my main source of reviewing for test. I have literally used it since my freshman year of high school and it hasn't failed me yet. Its a website where you can make your study guide and use different ways to study it. The information can be organized by flash cards, learn, speller, test, scatter, and gravity. You can enter the information and you choose the way you want to review. I have been lucky several times and have found other students that have shared their quizlets on specific tests and subjects, and if you are really lucky you may find one for a specific teacher with a full study guide.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
