I have a formatting question I'm really hoping you can help me out with. Is there a type of formatting essay in which the heading (name, date, course, etc.) are in the upper right corner of the title page? I'm afraid the formatting directions for this assignment were very unclear, so if you could answer this, it would be a big help. Thank you!
uh all i know about is MLA format where that stuff is in the top left corner...
Found on bigdreams.co
Listen
There are a few posts going around tumblr that have hundreds of thousands of notes and talk about torrents that you can go to for textbooks.
My advice?
Don’t.
Those are illegal.
I hate to be the stick in the mud here, but yeah, those are illegal.
And seeing as how a lot of you will be logged onto your college server and they can see any website that you go on, I wouldn’t recommend it. You might have your internet privileges revoked. Or face disciplinary actions. Is it worth it?
Besides, a ton of those websites are filled with viruses.
So, you may have saved a few hundred dollars on a textbook but now you need to buy a new computer and are facing consequences from the school.
I know that textbooks are outrageously expensive. And I hate it. But it’s not worth the trouble to try and illegally obtain them.
So, what would I recommend?
Talk to your professor. They might have a few extra textbooks for you to use.
Go to your college library. I worked in the library at my old college for a year and we had an entire shelf of textbooks that students could rent for two hours.
Put up a bulletin board where students can sell their old books and see if someone’s selling the book that you need.
Ask your professor if you can get the an older edition of a book. They’re usually a lot cheaper.
Here are five LEGAL websites that I would recommend:
amazon.com - Not only do they rent books, they also sell used books. I’ve found some really great deals before.
textbookrush.com - Again, they sell used books. I once got a $300 book for $35.
chegg.com - I know a lot of students who use this.
bookbyte.com - I also know a lot of students who use this.
bigwords.com - This website compares prices for books.
Also, BookFinder! My dad is a college professor, and he taught me to use BookFinder to find cheaper textbooks. Just type in the author and title or ISBN of the book, and it’ll give you lists of prices from all sorts of legal websites–new AND used books–shipping included in the price they show you right there!
SAVE MONEY. USE BOOKFINDER.
I don’t watch star trek (although my dad made me watch it a few times) but this is awesome and so true.
Peeta’s beautiful face isn’t an excuse to procrastinate?!? My life is ruined!!! Why didn’t anyone tell me?!?

Hi! I'm just starting this blog, it's quite similar to yours. Would you mind checking it out? I'd love to get a few more followers and be able to share my progress with other people c: Thank you so much x
Check this blog out!
Tuebl.ca is my new most favoritest site.
for people who don’t know, Tuebl.ca is essentially a FREE AND AUTHORIZED ONLINE LIBRARY WHERE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD FREE .EPUB VERSIONS OF POPULAR BOOKS.
When I say authorized, I mean popular authors PUT THEIR BOOKS UP THERE FOR FREE BECAUSE THEY KNOW EBOOKS WILL GET THEM NEW FANS WHO WILL THEN GO ON TO BUY THEIR BOOKS.
I’m talking like John Grisham. Jacqueline Carey. Stephanie Meyers. Jeffrey Eugenides. FUCKING ANNA QUINDLEN. A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE.
that’s just the start. seriously. try it out.
Every so often I reblog this because more people should know about Tuebl.
It’s free ebooks.
Legit, free ebooks.
Free ebooks that will not get you sued for copyright piracy bullshit.
Authors agree to have their books put up for free.
And not just like authors attempting to garner fans and get famous.
I’m talking legitimately every time I see a book on my wishlist on Amazon I go to tuebl first and like 8 or 9 times out of ten IT IS ALREADY THERE, AND IF IT IS NOT THERE, THE AUTHOR HAS PLACED OTHER BOOKS THEY HAVE WRITTEN ON THERE.
For the love of god, spread the good news. This is why the internet is created. Full stop.
I'm in high school and I'm kind of lost with the taking notes system, I have one notebook for each subject but I don't thinks it's working for me, any tips? Thank you!
Hello.
This is how I go about Note-taking: (X)

Tutorial: how to make a study schedule.
Make a reference sheet with separate lists for each subject. This reference sheet is used to orient your daily studying.
List the material you need to study for each subject. Be more specific than you would be on a study schedule and make sure you put down everything you need to go over.
On your schedule, highlight the exam dates and deadlines and put down any relevant information.
Using your reference sheet, assign certain material to go through each day.
Scheduling tips
If you haven’t been working on study material throughout the semester; schedule days before your study leave to work on study sheets for revision, flash cards, summaries, whatever you use to study.
Take a day to gather your study material before your study leave begins. Like the weekend classes end or so. This will save you a lot of time when you sit down to study every day.
Schedule your studying so that you start studying for the last final first, and the first final last. Make sure you start this early enough to give yourself time to revise for the subjects you need to.
If you have a day between each of your finals, take the night of the final off and revise for the next exam the day after. If not, take the couple of hours after your exam off then revise for the next one.
Schedule the harder/heavier material in a subject first, so that you work on that material when you have more energy.
If you’re taking subjects that you have difficulty with, or subjects with a heavy workload; schedule catch up days. However, don’t let that encourage you to slack off. Try to stick to your schedule and only rely on the catch up days if you really need to, and if you don’t; then it’s a day off!
Also, schedule days off… a day or if you can’t afford it, half a day. I can’t stress how important it is to take time for yourself, it’ll help you avoid burnout.
Disclaimer: this is the way I’ve been making study schedules since I started college. By no means am I claiming it’s perfect or that everybody should follow it.
I’m sorry I’m posting this by the end of the year when a lot of people are already done with exams, but perhaps it’ll be helpful for people taking summer courses now? And also for next year :)
SIGNAL BOOST!!!
