Back to School or Rising From Summer Hibernation

So, the busy life is starting again for most of you. You need to start dragging your ass to class and staying awake to study instead of partying. To revitalize the blog, here's a few links for help on getting back on that horse:


College is full of temptations, including, but not limited to credit cards, alcohol, study drugs (and otherwise), and frat parties on weekdays. Why complicate that with an unhealthy life otherwise?


FlashCardMachine lets anyone create study flash cards and share them with others for free. Sign up and create your own flashcards in different subjects, organize them into sets, reorder and copy cards within a set and insert images and audios. You can share your flashcard set(s) with others who study the same subject by forwarding its URL, which they can access and study without registering.

Keep an eye on

I will attempt to write at least two posts per week, one covering Aesthetics and one covering Artificial Intelligence (as these are my two classes this semester.)

Take care all, keep your noses in them books!
