Hi, my name is John Sorrentino and I know that making your way through school can be hard which is why is it good that there are many different resources out there to help you along the way. I have used many different websites to help me in my schooling and some of them worked well while others didn’t. I am going to save you that time of trial and error by giving you all of the websites I found to be extremely helpful.

Khan Academy – The best website for learning or studying any subject, They have full video courses on basically every subject you will take in school which are all taught way better than your teacher can. If I didn’t need a degree I would get my education on this website. Lynda.com – a huge library of video courses that can help you learn tons of skills, mainly centered around computing and media production. Lynda is particularly good for learning the ins and outs of computer software. This normally costs $35 per month but in a previous post, I showed you How to can get a Lynda membership for free. Wolfram Alpha – a “computational knowledge engine”, this site can calculate basically any math problem and come up with data on all kinds of things. If you have any math problem this website will give you the answer. They also provide Step-by-step solutions to math problems and they used to be free, but they cost money now. Chegg – Chegg is a website with many different uses for college students. On Chegg, you can buy and sell textbooks, get solutions to all the questions in your textbook, and you ask your specific homework questions and experts will answer them for you. Habitica – This is a habit building software that turns your goals and to-do list into a game. I use this as my main to-do list and use it to keep track of my goal. Google Calendar – A very good way to schedule your week and it is accessible on any device. I put my class schedule on here and it reminds me when I have class so I won’t be late. Google Drive – Most people know what google drive is but just in case you don’t know about it, it is basically an online flash drive that you can access from anywhere. The main reason I use google drive is for group projects since everyone can work on the same document at the same time from their own home. Rate My Professors – a site that allows students to write reviews of professors. I check this website every time I make my schedule to make sure all the teachers I am signing up for are good. Mind Meister – A very good mind mapping software to help with studying and note-taking. If you don’t know what mind mapping is you can read the post I wrote about it Here. Ankiweb – This is a great spaced repetition flashcard software. Todoist – a helpful to-do list software. I like the clean design, organizational features, and the fact that all my tasks sync across multiple platforms. Grammarly – Online proofreading tool that checks text for grammar, punctuation, and style, and features a contextual spelling checker and plagiarism detector. BibMe – a tool that can help you automatically generate bibliographies and source citations. I like it better than similar tools because it lets you search for books and other sources; if it recognizes what you searched for, it can often auto-fill all the citation fields. Amazon Student – Most Students that use amazon do not realize that they get 6-months of amazon prime for free, That means free 2-day shipping. When those six months run out you also get 50% discount on amazon prime until you graduate. Many students paying for amazon prime don’t even know they could be saving money. You will also get $5 free if you use the link I provided. Audible – Reading books can be boring… but necessary to pass the course. Instead of trying to keep yourself awake reading chapter after chapter, just listen to the audio version of the book as you walk to class or run on the treadmill. StudentRate – This website shows you all the current discounts you can get as a student. Quizlet – This is another great flashcard website, the good part about this is that you can search through thousands of flashcard decks made by other people. This saves a lot of time while studying. SelfControl – This will block you out of websites that you don’t want to be distracted by while you are doing your work. Cheatography – This website is full of helpful cheat sheets to help you study for tests. GroupMe – I think every college student knows the struggle of group texts. This app lets you rid the craziness of those group text messages and create private chat rooms instead – trust me, it’s better.
