Google Books - You usually won’t find your textbook on Google Books, but it’s always worth a look. Sometimes pages are missing because it’s only a preview of the book, but again - always worth a look.

Scribd - People upload documents to Scribd and by becoming a member (free!) or connecting through Facebook (if you’re lazy!), you can download whatever files you may find. This sometimes includes textbooks.

BookBoon - website specifically for finding pdf versions of textbooks

Curriki - free open source materials

Flat World Knowledge - free business, humanities, and science textbooks

Also this post is very important so I will put it here too:

remember: if you’re attending a school that gives you a .edu email address, you can upgrade your amazon.com account to prime for free by going on and choosing the college/student membership. that means you get the prime 2-day shipping and even some textbook discounts (not to mention AFAIK you enjoy the amazon instant access for free for the duration of your edu email being active)

AP blogs are tough to find on Tumblr, so I’ve made a collection of all the AP blogs I could find, sorted by subject. Some haven’t updated for a while, but all the same the resources provided by the blogs are still usable and I highly recommend finding a way to use Tumblr to get some productive AP studying done! The list is quite small, so if you know of any more, feel free to send me a message! A part of my "get studying" series!

I’ve been living on my own for almost 4 years now and I have like 50 tabs open.

Bless the person who put together this post, it ought to be made into a pamphlet for everyone in highschool/college.

I foresee myself relying on this heavily in the weeks to come.

One of the most courageous decisions you will ever make is to finally let go of whatever is hurting your heart and soul.

(via thisisnotmyfairytaleendingg)

[rebootera]

Every faction conditions its members to think and act a certain way. And most people do it. For most people, it’s not hard to learn, to find a pattern of thought that works and stay that way. But our minds move in a dozen different directions. We can’t be confined to one way of thinking, and that terrifies our leaders. It means we can’t be controlled. And it means that no matter what they do, we will always cause trouble for them.

[parchment-and-petrichor]

Friendly reminder that this deleted scene in Deathly Hallows Part 2 exists. When Voldemort asks him to choose sides, he goes to the Death Eaters because the Dark Lord has already won and his duties lie as always, with his family. And yet as soon as Harry reveals he’s still alive, Draco knows there’s still a chance that Voldemort will be defeated and he takes it. And throws Harry his wand! The Boy Who Made All the Wrong Choices finally makes the right choice!

[propertyofseverustsnape]

It always annoys me when they left out IMPORTANT scenes like this.

[channellling]

I drip apologies like a leaky faucet. When I open up to you, I immediately follow it with “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have told you that.” Like I’m apologizing for feeling. Like I’m apologizing for telling someone who cares about me how I really feel. When you tried wiping away the tears I left on your shirt I whispered, “I’m sorry. I didn’t think.” Like leaving a piece of yourself on someone’s sleeve is something to be ashamed of. Like showing yourself in your rawest state is something to apologize for. I stain your lips with the word sorry and leave the after taste of endless apologies after we kiss. This poem is an apology to all my wasted nights saying sorry to people who never deserved it. Saying sorry as an excuse to stop fighting. Saying sorry for things that did not need an apology followed by them. This poem is an apology for never saying sorry to the one person who deserved it most: me. I’m sorry for not valuing your actions and feelings enough to let them live without killing them with an apology.

apologies linger in my mouth like the taste of your tongue (via restrictedthoughts)
