The time to get back to school, get organized and back into our routines is soon to come, and I am trying to do my part in making that a bit easier. Last year I created a post with some of the best resources I have gathered throughout my years in the academic field, and this year I have even more and better links, resources and help to give you. Best of luck this year, you will rock and I hope I can give you a little help for this year to come.
