hey guys, today i thought i would make a list of 20 different useful websites that i think every student should know about. this list will include websites on how to find deals on textbooks,
Collection Of Internet Sites And Services, solve math problems, andlots of other things. it's by no means an exhaustive list. we'll definitely cover other websites on this channel in the future, but it's a good start.
so, let's dive right in. stack exchange is a gigantic collection of question and answer communities. if you need help onany particular subject, there's probably acommunity for you there. if you need a resourcefor your math homework, wolframalpha is, oh, what should i call it? a computational knowledge engine that can actually show you step by step
how to solve math problems. some of the features require a pro subscription which costs about $3.75 a month though, so if you're looking for a free option while it's a little less convenient, gamma.sympy.org will do many of the same things for free. studentrate is a websitethat can help you find student discounts on all sorts of things including travel, tech, school clothes, and textbooks.
chegg is a website where you can rent or buy textbooks which can save you hundreds of dollars off the bookstore prices and they also have electronic versions that you can use while you're waitingfor your books to ship. in addition, they also have apps with homework answers, and a community of tutors if you need extra help. my friends and i saved a tonof money in college using chegg so they're definitely one of my favorite
student focused websites. sleepyti.me, and i guess that's how you pronounce it, is a website that can help you calculate when you should go to bed if you're looking to getup at a certain time. it uses the science of rem cycles to calculate when you should go to sleep and also factors in theaverage amount of time it takes a person to fall asleep
once they actually get into bed. if you want to build strong habits, or break bad ones, then habitica is probably my favorite tool for doing so. it used to be called habitrpg, and i have an entire review of it on my channel. they just changed their name recently but they're just asgood as they used to be and they keep getting better. there are a lot ofto-do managers out there
but todoist is probably my favorite just because it has a very clean, simple interface and syncs between all my apps. as with to-do managers, there are also tons ofcalendar apps out there. for me, google calendarhas been the mainstay since i started college and i still use it today. their smartphone apps have gotten really, really good, it's still absolutely free, and it syncs between
every single system youcould possibly have. dropbox is a service that keeps all your files synced and updated across all your different platforms. they're accessible from the browser and from your mobile apps. gone are the days of using a flash drive to transfer files from one computer to the other. i honestly think you should use some sort of cloud service to make sure your files are backed up.
if it's not dropbox it can be google drive or something else, but use one. if you want to learn new skills, especially computer skills or a specific computer software, lynda.com is an amazing resource. they offer courses on every programming language, computer software you can think of, and lots of other things. it's possible your school already subscribes to it,
so see if it does and you might have free access. if you want to track your spending, set budgets, and basically have an overall picture of your financial situation, then mint.com is my favorite resource for doing that. rate my professors is an awesome resource you should probably hit up any time you're signing up for classes. while i definitely wouldn't advise
taking every word written there as the golden truth, it has steered me towardsamazing professors in the past. coggle is an awesome mind-mapping tool that lives in your browser and is completely free. if you don't want to use paper, but you need to make a mind map, which i've done in the past, it's a cool option. trello is, in my opinion, one of the best apps out there
for managing group projects. it utilizes a japanese project management technique called kanban, and basically, it allows you to managethings between lists and different boards super easy. you can add people in, collaborate, assign people to tasks, add due dates, and i could probably gush about this site for hours. you might not have expected this one,
but your university website is one of the most useful websites you'll use as a student. i'm using my school's website as an example here, but your website probably has class catalogues with descriptions of all the classes, a financial aid website withpotential scholarship listings, a semester calendar withall the important dates that you should put on your calendar, university events, and potentially even a job board
where you can find part-time jobs, internship opportunities, or freelance opportunities. writtenkitten is an awesome tool my friend gretchen told me about which can help you write when you have writer's block. for every hundred words you write, you'll get a new cat picture, and i challenge you to name anything more motivating than cat pictures. it can't be done.
cheatography is a website that aggregates cheat sheets from around the web onpretty much any subject. if you're learning, say, calculus, then you can search that on the website and you'll probably find a cheet sheet that condenses a lot of the most important information. you can use that to help make your own study guides. bibme is a website that can help you generate citations for basically any source you use in a research project.
it can save you a ton of time in creating a bibliography and the nice thing about this one in particular is they have a databse full ofsources you can search through. if you find the source you're looking for, it can actually automatically fill out the citation for you instead of making youfill it all in manually. ankiweb is the web companion to anki, which is a space repetition software that can help you studythings more efficiently
than you can on regularpaper flashcards. lastly, if you want to do any sort of diy projects inyour apartment or dorm, then instructables.comis an amazing resource. in fact, if you wantto build a hanging desk or hanging loft bed, i have puttutorials of my own up there and there's lots of more practical things up there as well. all right, so that is my list. hopefully you find at least one
