This website literally GRADES YOUR ESSAYS. You can choose your grade level, if you’re using American or British english, what type of paper it is (essay, short story, biography…), and it even checks for plagiarism. THEN once it’s grading your essay, it shows you grammatical errors, suggestions for better sentence structure, and a lot of other things. Reblog to save a life.

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.
