The last few weeks of this semester are upon us and for most students that means that dreaded final exams are just around the corner. Test anxiety is a major factor for many people whether taking the final exam or taking any other exam or quiz in general. Fortunately, there are many ways to combat test anxiety and equally as many sites out on the internet with information on how to do so.

Study Buddies

Surviving college life may not come very easily for a lot of college students. Enter survivingcollegelife.net, a website dedicated to providing information on a broad range of topics to help the average college student survive college life. The website provides archived articles not only pertaining to academics and studying, but also for things like technology and other areas that some college students may find interesting. Every topic on the website is geared toward college students; whether it's how to develop a budget while in college, scheduling classes and even food recipes that will not strain a small budget. 

Survivingcollegelife.net is one of the more comprehensive websites I've personally found on the internet that is geared toward helping college students in one way or another. In a previous issue of "Study Buddies, Study Breaks", I recommended a website that was geared toward the academic aspects of college life. While that website is still relevant and useful, survivingcollegelife. net surpasses that site and provides information on many more topics that some college students may find more interesting and useful.

Study Breaks

Choosing a new book to read, a new movie to watch, or new music to listen to has almost become as big a task as deciding on classes in school. Some people stick to what they know best and go with authors, directors and actors, or musicians they know and enjoy. Others might take the road less traveled and look for artists they may not have seen, heard, or read just to see if they can broaden their horizons. This is where websites likes liveplasma.com come into play. With Liveplasma.com, you can enter the title of a book, movie, or song and get an interactive list generated for you that shows other titles you may enjoy based on several characteristics of the title you entered. You can also enter names of directors, artists, or authors as well and Liveplasma will generate a list based on the information you enter. For people looking for something new, liveplasma.com just might be the tool to help you bring new life to your reading, moviegoing, or music listening.

I've used liveplasma.com for a number of years now and over time it has had significant developments in terms of the information it provides, and the addition of books is a recent addition to the site. In the past, movie titles and music artists were sparse; the website only listed names which had been entered into the website's database by other users. Now, the website is more comprehensive and has incorporated a much larger list to search for, making it a much better tool for people looking for something new in books, movies, or music.
