| 4 Incredibly Useful Websites for College Students |
Google Scholar
Google has been the internet king for some time now. As the top search engine online, much of the internet is ruled by Google and their dictations. That being said, as internet god, they have certainly provided us with some of the best tools and resources available online. Google Scholar is one such tool. This resource provides users to search for scholarly excerpts, articles, and documents for academic research and study. This is a great tool for writing papers and expanding your academic breadth. Use this tool to supplement your library research for useful and legitimate sources.
Google Calendar
Another from the Google God, Google Calendar is by far one of the best organizational tools available for free online. Time management and organization are two traits in college students that are just as important as knowledge and ability. Without the proper organization skills many college students lose track of their busy schedule and mounting work and fall behind. This tool allows you to upload all due dates, class times, text dates, group meetings, and lectures into an online calendar. The calendar will send an email notification when a date and time approaches. Use this tool to stay on top of your work and organize your life.
Amazon Student
When we think about Amazon, we typically think Christmas gift purchases and online shopping. Amazon as a useful college tool and resource is not exactly at the forefront of our minds. However, Amazon Student is a wonderful resource for college students looking to save a little money purchasing the things they need for their education. Amazon offers this special service specifically to college students. With this service, students receive one full year of free two day shipping with Amazon Prime and special email promotions for discounts on things students need. Consider saving some money buying schools supplies and course books online with Amazon Student.
Mint
Also concerned with saving college students’ some money, Mint is a wonderful tool for anyone—but particularly broke college kids. Use this tool on your phone, tablet, and computer to track your spending and manage your money. One of the most important lessons young adults learn in college is how to be truly self-sufficient adults. Money is one of the first steps in this process. Use this tool to learn money management strategies and better understanding your savings, spending, and money use. You can see where your money is going each month, what you spend the most on, where you can save in the future, and much more. Mint is one of the best money management applications available online and can be hugely useful to college students just scraping by.
