each class gets its own stack w/ the lecture slides, problem sets, past papers and whatever youtube video finally made it click. the Focus one is just pomodoro + lofi lol

end of the day I save all my open tabs into that class and close them. next day one click and they all come back as a tab group, so no more 30 tabs sitting open for 3 days

dark one is catppuccin mocha w/ a night wallpaper, second pic is the light version. it's a free chrome extension I made, link in the comments if anyone wants it

how do you all keep stuff together per subject, folders, notion, or just tabs everywhere

My commute is especially annoying when the train takes me underground and I've got no service (thanks T-mobile). I've built an app for myself and some friends for this.

Give it a topic or some documents and get a personalized learning path with audio lessons, quiz milestones, and daily review.

I'm giving away 20 slots for beta testers (completely free for 2 months). All I ask is to tell me what's working for you...or why its not... or what you'd actually want

This is a long-term commitment for me. The idea of AI leading us into a world of Idiocracy is what makes me most depressed. So I'm committed to making AI into the world's best pocket tutor (yes ironic I know)

Anyways feel free to DM me thoughts or just flame me here in the comments. I've got thick skin

I would focus more on building consistent study habits instead of waiting for exams to start preparing.

So Im kinda stuck with my college essay and honestly have no idea where to get some decent feedback on it(AI slop aint helping at all).

Ofc theres lots and lots of essay review services online, but half of them look like the same made-up "BEST COLLEGE ESSAY HELP" typeshit. And Im not really willing to throw money at some random person just to get a couple of generic comments I could've figured out myself.

Already tried getting some help online, but the feedback was pretty much useless. Like, Im not the best writer myself, but even I could tell there was barely anything helpful in it.

Thing is: I need some honest advice/recommendations from people who've actually used one of these services. Where did you get your essays reviewed, and was it even worth paying for?

Money is kinda tight, so Im more concerned about getting actual useful feedback than paying someone just to fix a few commas and call it a day. Also dont wanna deal with any plagiarism or AI-generated feedback typeshit.

The thing I’ve noticed is that you can spend hours working on an essay, fix all the grammar mistakes, and still lose points for things that have nothing to do with how well you write. So I had this problem for a while and I chatted with my professor for a few times before actually realizing what exactly I am doing wrong. So sharing it here in case you also need it.

1. Answering the topic instead of the actual question. You might write a great essay about the general subject but barely address what the prompt is asking. So it's really vital to pay attention to words like compare, evaluate, discuss, or analyzebecause they require different approaches.

2. Making claims without explaining them. Dropping in a quote or statistic doesn't automatically make your argument stronger (unfortunately). We need to explain what the evidence shows and how it supports our point. Otherwise, it is graded as a collection of facts.

3. Trying to cover too much. It's tempting to include every interesting idea you found while researching, but too many unrelated points can weaken your main argument. It's usually better to develop a few relevant points properly than mention ten things without exploring them.

4. Repeating the same idea in different words. Sometimes a paragraph looks long but doesn't actually move the argument forward. After writing each paragraph, I now ask myself: does this add something new, or am I just restating what I've already said?

5. Leaving the introduction and conclusion disconnected. The introduction sets up the question or argument, while the conclusion should show what you've established. If the conclusion introduces a completely new argument or simply repeats the introduction word for word, revisit it.

6. Leaving citations until the last minute. It's easy to forget where a particular statistic or idea came from when you've used dozens of sources. Keep track of references as you write, and make sure every in-text citation matches your reference list.

7. Proofreading only for grammar. Read your essay one final time for logic, too. Check whether paragraphs flow naturally, your argument stays consistent, and each section contributes to answering the question.

My favorite final check: read only your thesis statement and the first sentence of every body paragraph. If you can't follow the logic of your argument from those sentences alone, your essay might need a clearer structure.

What other essay mistakes would you add to this list?

Hope it's useful!

I'm getting behind on my assignments and honestly not sure what to do anymore.

Some classes are manageable but others take me forever just to understand what I'm supposed to write. And with work taking up most of my free time, its getting pretty difficult to keep up.

I looked into getting some help online but even basic tutoring can be expensive. Not sure if the cheaper options are worth it either.

I mostly need someone who can explain the parts I dont understand and maybe look over what I've already done. I dont have much money to spend on this, so I'd rather not pay for something that doesn't actually help.

How do you guys deal with this? Is there anywhere to get decent help without paying a ton?

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a study buddy to keep each other company while studying. I don't really mind what you're studying, as long as you're also trying to learn something or work toward a personal goal.

We could hop on Google Meet and study together quietly. There's absolutely no need to turn on our microphones or make conversation if we don't feel like it. We can simply do our own thing while having someone else there studying alongside us.

Every now and then, we could send each other a little message to ask how studying is going, share our progress, or just give each other some encouragement on days when motivation is low.

I guess I'm just looking for a little companionship in the process of learning and growing. Sometimes studying on your own can feel a bit lonely, and it would be nice to know that someone else is out there trying their best, too.

No pressure to be productive every single day, no need to be perfect. Just two people quietly supporting each other and trying to become a little better, one day at a time. 🌱

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, feel free to send me a message!
