Essentials
These are some of the websites that I'd consider to be essential! All students should use these websites/apps to help them succeed academically!
I have Grammarly set on my laptop by default to help me fix any spelling/grammatical errors. It's a must-have when writing assignments/essays!
Grammarly
Quizlet is the perfect app/website to use to study for tests/exams! I've been using it since high school and it's the only way I memorize terms. It doesn't only have flashcards, but it also has things like practice tests so you can test out your know...
Quizlet
I use Scribbr to help me with my citations! Just link the website you're using and it'll take care of the rest for you, even formatting it in the correct order.
Scribbr
Chegg is perfect for renting/buying second-hand or like-new textbooks for an affordable cost! I buy all of my textbooks from here, as I don't see the purpose of dropping hundreds for a textbook I'll only need for a few months
Chegg
This is an online learning platform where you can take courses from universities and companies. I've used it many times to help me prepare for future jobs as well as for catching up on info that doesn't quite make sense to me
Coursera Plus | Unlimited Access to 10,000+ Online Courses
Scholarships
These websites offer a variety of scholarships that will help off-set some of the cost of college! It's easy to sort through scholarships to find the type(s) that fit your needs best.
Like Scholarships.com, fastweb is another great scholarship search site.
Fastweb
This is a college and career planning service from the College Board, ideal for high schoolers who are planning for their college journey!
BigFuture
This website makes it super easy to find scholarships based on a variety of different requirements. You're sure to find something that fits your needs, and scholarships are available for all grades/college.
Scholarships.com
Research Resources
These websites are the best ones to use when researching and finding sources for essays/papers. They are peer-reviewed, some are original sources, and they make it super easy to sort/search through.
The Internet Archive is a nonprofit digital library that preserves websites and other digital materials.

Google Scholar is my go-to for official, peer-reviewed resources. It's super easy to filter and provides the sources you need for papers/essays.
Google Scholar
sJSTOR, like Google Scholar, offers reliable sources for assignments, essays, including original sources. It has academic articles, books, historical documents, images, and more. I used it heavily during my history courses!
JSTOR
This is one of the largest digital libraries in the world, and it's perfect for finding any/all information you need (I've also found some of my required textbooks on there, hehe)
Library of Congress
Organization
Here are some apps/websites that I find to be personal life-savers! If you're an organized person as-is, you may not need these. But if you're a fellow disorganized student like me, these websites work wonders
This is an app I have on my ipad that helps me organize my notes, assignments, readings, projects, and more. You can also collab with other students, which is the coolest feature!
Notion
This is a task and project organization tool. I use it for boards, lists, and cards to help me keep track of what I need to do.
Trello
I use this to help me stay organized! If you're like me, I struggle to keep my tasks organized, remember do dates, set things up by priorities, etc. Todoist is a life-saver!
