Study Tips for the Social Media Addict

Social media can be addicting.  Always wanting to stay up to date with what everyone is doing can become routine!  I sometimes find myself having trouble putting my phone down during homework or studying, so… I came up with a few tips on how to block out social media when you need to get the job done!

First off, start simple.  If you know you can’t stay off your phone, then turn it off or put it in another room!  That way you won’t even see your phone light up or feel it vibrate.  It’s a simple solution and you wind up distraction free!

If you like to check your social media on a computer or laptop, then I highly recommend you check out this website if you get distracted easily when studying.  I know I’ve mentioned this in another article, but KeepMeOut.com blocks you from any website you tell it to!  You can also pick the amount of time it’ll lock you out for which is really cool!

Put your phone on “do not disturb” so your phone isn’t constantly vibrating or going off every time you get an Instagram like or Twitter notification!

If you really can’t keep your hands off your phone, set a timer that goes off every 30 minutes, hour, etc.  When the timer goes off, treat yourself by checking your phone but limit yourself to only so much time!

What study tips do you have for me?  Let me know below, I could use them!

Life Saving Websites for Students

School is back in session and as students, we can use all the help we can get!  With technology nowadays, there are so many new websites that are super useful for writing papers, studying, etc.  I wanted to share with you a few websites that will definitely come in handy this school year!

Quizlet.  With Quizlet, you can create your own flashcards and other study games to memorize whatever info you need to!  You can even use flashcards made by other students on the same topic if you’re too lazy to make them yourself!

EasyBib.  As long as your teacher isn’t super strict on citations, then this site is for you!  If you ever need quick MLA citations, all EasyBib needs is a URL and it’ll turn it into a perfect citation for your source!

PlagTracker.  PlagTracker allows you to copy and paste your essay into the website to check for any signs of plagiarism.  Sometimes you may’ve unintentionally copied a sentence or two without even knowing it!

Rate My Professors.  This app can make or break your college career!  It lets you search your teacher and see various students’ reviews and ratings like the picture on the right.  It can really give you a heads up or even encourage you to switch classes before it’s too late!

KeepMeOut.  This website is so cool!  You type in which sites you want to block and you won’t be allowed to access them for the amount of time you set!  If you have trouble staying off Twitter and Instagram while studying, then this is perfect for you!

I hope these websites help you no matter what grade you’re going into this year!  I know I’ll be using some of them myself! 🙂

Prevent yourself from visiting websites that you think are wasting your time.
