College can be challenging and stressful in many ways. Freshman year is one of the toughest. You are always in a rush, trying to balance partying and studying. There’s barely enough time left for anything else, isn’t there? Sometimes, you feel that you are going insane. So much coursework to deal with, activities to pursue, relationships to maintain. It looks like time loses its patience – it goes by too fast.
Since technology has evolved so much in the last decade, students can now afford to designate tasks or save time on activities of minor importance. There are many online tools which can help you stay on top of your assignments. If you want to be ready for any challenge, take a look at the following list and try out some of the devices presented. Don’t hesitate to leave us feedback –improvement is definitely something we appreciate.
OK, enough rambling. Let’s get down to business.
Let’s face it – college is hectic. Many people are chatting in the halls, walking to their class, talking in the library, or gathering up for a group project in the school’s cafeteria. So, how will you be able to focus your attention on your assignments? One would say, “headphones.” I’ll say noise-canceling headphones. You need them. That’s why they’re the first on my to-buy list.
Proper noise protection is essential in college. Hearing classical music while studying for your exam sounds better than struggling to concentrate on tasks while your roommate is talking on the phone. Doesn’t it?
There are many options you can choose from. Here are some of my best finds:
“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but my new noise reduction headphones changed my life,” shares Paula Woodland, essay writer at EssayGeeks and student at NYU. “I have an increased sensitivity to sounds, so I was never able to concentrate on what I was working on. I mean, we are in college after all. Students are not quiet,” continues Paula. “I used to stay late each night to study while everybody was sleeping. I’m so glad I bought them.”
Do I even have to say anything else? OK. Maybe I do. Amazon is amazing! With Amazon Prime Student, you:
The offer is available until your graduation date. All you need to sign up is your “.edu” e-mail address. If that’s not available, you can find other forms of enrollment on their website.
P.S. – it’s not my job to convince you of anything, but since we’re here, one more quick advice: try out the Amazon Echo speaker device! It is an intelligent personal assistant named Alexa who can play music for you, make to-do lists, set your alarm, stream podcasts, provide weather details, etc.
College professors require students to read intensively for their classes. That’s because, through reading, you gain new knowledge and develop exceptional writing skills. Possessing this quality is very important today. Big companies want well-written resumes. Excellent graduate schools want well-written application letters. Your prospective employer wants an outstanding cover letter.
So, whether it’s for class or your own pleasure, here are some Kindle models that might catch your eye. Top picks 2018 according to Business Insider:
