Scholarships!
College in the United States is absurdly expensive, but luckily, free money is being thrown at students left and right. Applying for scholarships can be tedious, but working for decades to pay off student loans is far more difficult. Take the time to apply for every scholarship you are eligible for and your future self will thank you!
Scholarship Databases - Databases can be a fantastic resource for finding scholarships. You put in your information and the websites will automatically show you all of the scholarships you are eligible for. Most of these sites also automatically register you for their own scholarships when you sign up (see: no-essay scholarships.)
Unigo
scholarships.com
Niche
Cappex
SALT
Fastweb
Chegg
Peterson’s
School Soup
BigFuture
Big Scholarships - These scholarships tend to involve a longer application process, and you can bet that lots of students will be trying their luck for the high prizes. If you are lucky enough to win even one of these prizes, all of that hard work will instantly pay off.
Gates Millenium (amount varies)
Coca-Cola Scholarship ($20,000)
AXA Scholarship ($10,000)
Dell Scholars Application ($20,000)
Ron Brown Scholarship Program ($40,000)
Burger King Scholars ($50,000)
Questbridge ($200,000)
Voice of Democracy Scholarship ($30,000)
Hertz Foundation Graduate Scholarship ($38,000)
David Letterman Scholarship ($10,000)
Horatio Alger Association Scholarships ($10,000 - $1,000)
Unigo $10K Scholarship ($10,000)
No-essay Scholarships - For most of these scholarships, the only requirement is that you sign up for their website. If you are already hunting for scholarships and would be using these sites anyway, then these scholarships are a no-brainer.
Chegg Monthly Scholarship ($1,000)
Niche $2,000 “No Essay” College Scholarship ($2,000)
Cappex Easy College Money Scholarship ($1,000)
College Week Live ($1,000)
U.S. Bank Scholarship ($1,000)
Scholarship Zone ($10,000)
Odd Scholarships - Calling all tall people and duck callers! These scholarships may seem a little bit out there, but you can win money for school by honing in on some of your more eccentric talents and interests.
Wholesale Halloween Costume Scholarship ($500)
Zolp Scholarship (You must be Catholic, your last name must be Zolp) (amount varies)
Custom Jewelry Scholarship ($1,000)
Tall People Scholarship ($1,000)
Chick and Sophie Major Memorial Duck Calling Contest ($2,000)
Stuck at Prom Duck Tape Scholarship Contest ($3,000)
Scholarship for Vegetarians ($10,000)
This barely even scratches the surface of the scholarships that are out there for students, so be sure to take some time and apply for every scholarship that you qualify for. Good luck, and happy hunting!

how to pass math [my method]
work out a lot of previous exam papers if ur allowed to buy them + stuff
if not, take examples from ur text book and work them out
you have to know the methods + get used to using them
this helps u become faster in the long run especially during the exam
time yourself when working out something [especially a past paper]
work as hard as u can but remember to take breaks. this is really important!!! i used to cry a lot bc of math idk why…
stay calm + focused, math needs hard work + determination
don’t worry if you fail, you can always take the exam another time. as long as you did your best, you should be proud of yourself! <3
hope this is of some help to you guys. if you want to ask me anything or request a masterpost, you can do that by messaging me!! xx

Hi, everyone! If you’re like me and you love a good game soundtrack or a great playlist of all sorts of game music, this is the masterpost for you. I’m one of those people who studies better with some music in the background, and what better way of making a study session more enjoyable than by listening to the soundtrack of your favourite game?
Why listen to music while you study?
Multiple studies have proven that certain students who listen to music while they study perform better academically. Unfortunately, it’s not for everyone, so you should really figure out if this is the right method for you before commiting yourself to it! The main arguement for studying with music is that research has proved that listening to classical music in particular helps the brain absorb more information and also helps stimulate one’s thinking!
On the other hand, some people tend to lose all concentration when there’s any music or noise in the background, which leads to procrastination and lower productivity. In short, if you can’t concentrate on the task at hand and get distracted easily, this isn’t the best method for you!
Playlists
I started actively looking for playlists with game music about two years ago and instantly fell in love. There are so many good playlists of various lengths and genres that are accessable on platforms like spotify, 8tracks, youtube, etc. All of the playlists include the tracklist in the description below them!
Note: I won’t be adding any playlists from 8tracks because they only work in the US and Canada.
i. General
Game music for studying: Some of you might have already heard of these videos before. They’re roughly an hour and a half long and include some of the more calming tracks from a lot of different games. All the names of the tracks are listed in the description below, which is super handy if you want to find out which game it’s from! I thought I’d put in the playlist of all of them so you can just press play and enjoy!
Video game music! 2.0: Probably the longest playlist you’ll find anywhere. a n y w h e r e. 223 hours of amazingness that you’ll never regret!
ii. Calming/ relaxing
5 hours of atmospheric game music: This is one of my personal favourites. It’s very long so you don’t have to worry about looking for another playlist when this one finishes.
Relaxing video game music: Another gem! Once again with all the tracks in the description. This one’s great for shorter study sessions since it’s only and hour long.
More relaxing video game music: If the previous playlist was too short for you, check out this 3 hour one! I used this one a lot last year!
Calming Nintendo music: A super great playlist for all you Nintendo fans! It includes some really nice tracks from the Legend of Zelda series, if you’re into those soundtracks!
Jesper Kyd playlist: Ever since I first played Assassin’s Creed 2, I’ve loved Jesper Kyd’s work. This is quite a long playlist including some of his best tracks from various games. My favourites are towards the end!
Relaxing Legend of Zelda music: You had to see this one coming. The LoZ series has some of the best soundtracks to study to (, in my opinion,) and some of the prettiest and most calming tracks. I highly recommend this 42 minute playlist for those times when you just don’t feel like working.
2 hours of sleepy video game music: This is also a little series of playlists. There are 4 of these videos in total, which adds up to 8 hours of sweet, sweet music.
iii. Epic/ badass
Epic video game music: For all of you who need a little badass music in the background! 2.5 hours of epic and awe inspiring music to really get some work done!
Focus - video game music: Spotify has some really great playlists, so I thought I’d include a few! This playlist is a little more epic and loud, but if that’s the mindset you really need to push through, this would be great for you. It’s an amazing 11 hours long so you’ll never run out.
Orchestral video game music: Another epic playlist, including the occasional lullaby. This is a 7 hour long playlist, so a little shorter than the previous one, but by no means less epic and badass!
Soundtracks
Compared to the playlists, soundtracks tend to be a mix of epic and calming music. Most games have their perilous moments and their I’m-so-relieved-I-managed-to-beat-that-boss-with-only-one-heart-left moments. The world of video games is vast, so I’ve selected a few of my favourite soundtracks to share with you instead of listing all of the ones I can find.
Legend of Zelda - Skyward Sword: One of my favourite all time games! The soundtrack is long too, so you don’t have to worry about looking for a new one afterwards.
Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time: This game is widely believed to have the best soundtrack in video game history. All I can say is so sit down, gather your work and to just enjoy.
Final Fantasy VI: This 1994 gem has an avarage playtime of 65-70 hours. The game has such a good storyline and the soundtrack is a little old school with a lot of non-orchestral tracks. I’d still recommend this to everyone who likes an older style of video game.
Suikoden Tierkreis: I have memories of me just going to the overworld map so I could listen to the music. It’s that good.
Bioshock Infinite: I’ve only ever played the first in the series, but I watched a walkthrough of this particular game and I loved it so much! The music is slightly creepy and loud sometimes but it’s a really great soundtrack overall.
The Last of Us: Another game I’ve never actually played, but the walkthrough was amazing. The soundtrack is very atmospheric and doesn’t have a lot of loud parts, so it’s generally calm.
Assassin’s creed 2: My all-time favourite game ever. As you know from before, I think Jesper Kyd is amazing, so putting these two elements together makes a truly great game. The soundtrack is actually quite well known because a few of it’s most popular tracks are featured a lot in other playlists. E.g. Dreams in Venice and The Madam.
The Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim: I’ve listened to this one a few times and I think it’s really good! It starts off quite strong but it has a lot of calmer songs too.
Fable 2: The Fable series is well-known for being short, so the soundtrack is also on the shorter side. I know the dialogue in the game almost by heart and I can guarantee you that there’s a lot of atmospheric music in this soundtrack.
Fragile: This one was recommended to me by a friend on tumblr years ago. It has really sweet songs and has a lot of piano centered tracks.
Now get to work!
I hope I’ve helped you find the perfect game music to accompany you while you study! If you have any recommendations, feel free to send me a message! I’m always up to discovering new playlists/ soundtracks.

yesterday I realised that I barely know anything in maths so I’m having to sort myself out - trying to go over 2+ topics a day, making what I like to call “emergency notes”, so far so good but #prayforzoë
20.3.16// I made a poster on all the organic chemistry reactions we’ve covered so far in the year. It’s a great summary sheet which should be useful come exam time!

My love for perfection always ends up in procrastination, so I’m really excited to finally start with this challenge, yay! These are my Algebra notes for my big exam in July…and I’m quite happy with this writing system now.
This is what my revision wall looked like this time last year. So gutted I got rid of these note cards. I’m so dumb.
