College Life

College life is the most exciting and one of the memorable expirience in our life. As a Freshmen student and first time to greet college it was so grateful and nervous at the same time.
Second is the professor stands at the front of the classroom and announces the due date for that ten page paper you have been dreading, and you are relieved to find out that you have an entire month to write it. Of course, that was nearly a month ago, and your plan to write the paper in sections over time has flown out the window, just like you plan to do if you can't get this paper done on time. Whether you are a chronic procrastinator, a perfectionist who feels like you are working nonstop, a slacker who knows you are just hanging on, or even if you are just plain lazy, I am about to introduce you to your new best friend.
What if I told you that it is possible to browse a scholarly text and pick up a current magazine article regarding your paper topic all without leaving your dorm room? You would probably think that it is either too good to be true, or maybe it's some form of cheating, but it is neither. I am talking about Questia, an essential tool for every college student, especially the overwhelmed college freshman.
Questia is an online library which is open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. When it gets down to crunch time and you have promised yourself you will pull an all-nighter, most college libraries are not open all night and let's face it - you'd rather work in your room where your computer is anyway. Questia is the world's largest online library with over 56,000 books and over a million journal, magazine, and newspaper articles, along with a dictionary and a thesaurus! What more could you ask for? Not much, but Questia has gone above and beyond by offering unparalleled search features, virtual highlighters, bookmarks, and note taking abilities. It doesn't end there, as Questia even automates the process of making the bibliography and citing all of your sources, saving valuable time that you would have spent pouring over your MLA citation
