Studying In The Digital Age | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

It is crunch time. Exam week; the week we all become professional pullers of all-nighters and experts in cramming; the week when Instagram and Twitter are flooded with filter saturated pictures of coffee and papers strewn everywhere. Well, you can still have your artsy Instagram pictures but they should feature only coffee from now on; enter study apps. This is the digital age, the age of studying sans paper. I have compiled a list of the top 3 study apps below (only 3 because many are very similar).

  1. Evernote: Evernote is hands down one of the best study apps available. It features a text editor, voice recorder, and a photo uploading tool. So everything you hear, write, and see can be saved to Evernote and uploaded to the cloud; once in the cloud it can be accessed via cell phone, tablet, or computer.
  2. Study Blue: Another great study tool. Study Blue allows you to enter information that is then converted into an online flashcards. You can either study the flashcards or choose to look over the review sheets that study blue gives you as well. After studying you have the ability to take quizzes made by the app that feature true/false, fill in the blank, and multiple choice questions. You’re also able to “create’ classes and share your notecards with your classmates. Like Evernote, you’re able to access your notecards on your tablet, computer, and cell phone.
  3. ExamTime: ExamTime is similar to Study Blue because you’re able to create flashcards and online quizzes. However, with ExamTime you can create Mind Maps and take notes online; in addition, you can set up study groups, message classmates. It also features a study planner and an online calendar.

These are 3 exceptional apps you should look into downloading for exam week or even next semester to make school a little easier, because (if you’re like me) you’re looking for that next piece of technology to take another load off of your shoulders. Happy studying and good luck on your exams!

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.
