With the internet at our fingertips, many websites have been made to help students achieve success in the classroom. Here is a list of sites that are designed to help students gain accomplishment in class.

1. Kahn Academy

One of the best sites for learning, this website has many different topics that can help you learn a lesson that maybe your professor didn't teach too well.

2. TED.com

Ted is a great resource for speeches on just about anything. Need some motivation for the day? TED has it. Need an insight into some medical science? TED has that too. You can browse the many different topics, all arranged in alphabetical order.

3. Youtube.com

If you can keep yourself from getting distracted (IE- watching cat videos), youtube has a whole range of educational videos. Crash Course is a good place, and you can also find Kahn videos on youtube as well.

4. Quizlet.com

Need to make flashcards, but don't want to waste paper? Quizlet is a great site for that! Not only can you make as many as you need without ever running out of paper, you will never lose them either. They also have games you can play to help learn the material.

5. Habitica.com

Also an app! This website/game helps students create lasting habits in an RPG style game form.

6. Amazon.com

Along with Amazon student, and regular prime, when you need something fast, Amazon always has your back.

7. Rate My Professor.com

I always use this while creating my schedule. It helps you pick the professor who will be the best fit for you as a student.

8. TomatoTimer

Need help keeping focus? Using the Pomodoro technique can help you stay focused and get your work done.

9. Ambient Mixer.com

Dorm hall too loud? Music too distracting? Ambient Mixer allows you to make or choose a mix of sounds to create an atmosphere. Want to work during a rainy day when the rain is shining? Turn to ambient mixer!

10. SlugBooks.com

Crying over the price of your textbooks? Check out Slugbooks. Slugbooks compares textbook prices from different sites for both buying and renting options. This helps you find the cheapest book.

11. Grammerly.com

A holy grail for Odyssey writers, and college students. Grammarly is plug-in for browsers, like Chrome, and helps with spelling and grammar mistakes. I use it all the time since I am constantly writing something on my computer.

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.
