Jon James McMurray passed away at age 34 on Saturday, Oct. 23 after falling to his death during the filming of a music video. The “stunt rapper” was reportedly walking on the wing of a plane for the video before it fell into a downward spiral and he was unable to hang on. A statement from his team confirmed the news.

“However, as Jon got further out onto the wing of the plane, it caused the small Cessna to go into a downward spiral that the pilot couldn’t correct,” the statement read. “Jon held onto the wing until it was too late, and by the time he let go, he didn’t have time to pull his chute. He impacted and died instantly.” The plane reportedly landed safely and no one else was injured in the accident.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to honor Jon James and has currently raised more than $1,000.

Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office

Denver Broncos quarterback Chad Kelly is in trouble with the law on a very serious charge. On Tuesday, October 23 it was reported that the backup signal-caller was arrested on a charge of first-degree criminal trespassing. Kelly allegedly entered a home at approximately 1:00 a.m. and was chased out of the home by the owner.

The 24-year-old is the nephew of Buffalo Bills legend Jim Kelly.

“We are disappointed that Chad Kelly was arrested early this morning. Our organization has been in contact with Chad, and we are in the process of gathering more information,” the Broncos said in a statement acknowledging Kelly’s arrest.

Kelly was booked into Arapahoe County Jail.

From the report:

At 1:17 a.m., officers with the Englewood Police Department responded to the 3200 block of S. Lincoln Street after receiving a report of a man standing outside a residence. While officers were responding to the scene, they learned the man had entered the home. He was chased back outside by a homeowner. Officers searched the area and a short time later, located a man matching the description provided by the homeowner. He was in a black SUV near the Gothic Theatre.

Chad Kelly began his college football career at Clemson University before being dismissed for conduct detrimental to the team. He would then transfer to East Mississippi Community College where he led the Lions to a perfect 12-0 record and the NJCAA national champion. He would then transfer to Ole Miss to finish out his career. Kelly was drafted by the Broncos with the final pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Despite being considered a high-end talent, Kelly fell to the final round due to character concerns.

More information on the severity of the charge can be seen below.

In Col­orado, “crim­i­nal tres­pass” is the crime of unlaw­fully enter­ing or remain­ing on another’s prop­erty, and the seri­ous­ness of the offense depends upon the type of prop­erty tres­passed upon and the trespasser’s state of mind.  There are three degrees of crim­i­nal tres­pass rang­ing from a class 1 petty offense to a class 4 felony.

First degree crim­i­nal tres­pass, Colo. Rev. Stat. § 18–4-502

A per­son com­mits first degree crim­i­nal tres­pass if he or she know­ingly and unlaw­fully enters or remains in another’s dwelling, or if he or she enters any motor vehi­cle with the intent to com­mit a crime inside that vehicle.

First degree crim­i­nal tres­pass is a class 5 felony that car­ries a pre­sump­tive min­i­mum sen­tence of one year of impris­on­ment and a pre­sump­tive max­i­mum sen­tence of three years.  Under extra­or­di­nary aggra­vat­ing cir­cum­stances, a court may impose a sen­tence of more than three years, and under extra­or­di­nary mit­i­gat­ing cir­cum­stances, a court may impose a sen­tence of less than one year.

A University of Utah student’s death sparked a manhunt around the University of Utah on Tuesday, October 22, 2018.

What Happened?

Lauren McCluskey was found dead in her car around 9 p.m on October 21, 2018. Authorities cited the cause of death to be a gun-inflicted wound.

Before her death, she was on the phone with her mother Jill McCluskey, where the latter heard her cry out in defense.

“That was the last I heard from her,” she said to NBC. “My husband called 911. I kept the line open, and in a few minutes, a young woman picked up the phone and said all of Lauren’s things were on the ground.”

It was discovered that McCluskey had recently severed ties with her ex-boyfriend Melvin Rowland, 37, who was caught lying about his personal information and his criminal past. Police issued a manhunt for Rowland after the call and the next day, his body was found inside a church in Salt Lake City. Authorities ruled it as suicide.

— Univ of Utah News (@UofUNews) October 23, 2018

Before this, Lauren McCluskey had blocked his number and sought help from campus police twice with complaints of harassments from Rowland.

University Police Chief Dale Brophy cited that her complaints were under investigation at the time of her death and that Rowland was actually a registered sex offender. Rowland was released from prison in 2013.

University of Utah president Ruth Watkins offered her condolences.

It is with great sadness that I issue this statement about the death of one of our students last night: https://t.co/FhKFI7PTIZ

— Ruth V. Watkins (@RuthVWatkins) October 23, 2018

“As a campus community, we share grief over this tragic loss of life. Our deepest sympathy is extended to Lauren’s family and friends.” Watkins said. “Several members of our university administration spoke with Lauren’s family last night and I have also reached out to them. Her family is understandably in shock at this news about their daughter. They are heartbroken.”

Lambda Phi Epsilon At Cal Poly Suspended For Hazing & Alcohol Violations

The Lambda Phi Epsilon fraternity chapter at Cal Poly has been suspended due to numerous hazing and alcohol violations.

According to a report from The San Luis Obispo Tribune, an investigation by the university — which was launched on September 28 — found that the fraternity had taken part in “systematic hazing of new pledges in recent years.”

The investigation found that throughout the course of several years, Lambda Phi Epsilon perpetuated a hazing culture and forced pledges to take part in hazing activities such as knuckle push-ups and late-night ocean submersion.

In addition to the extensive hazing, the chapter also reportedly provided alcohol to students, including minors, and forced new recruits to drink large amounts.

As a result of the suspension, Lambda Phi Epsilon will be disaffiliated from the university for a minimum of two years or until all current members have graduated or otherwise left Cal Poly — whichever takes longer. Additionally, there will be no appeals process for the fraternity.

via The San Luis Obispo Tribune:

“It really sucked in the moment, it was the hardest thing ever … But this is something I think everyone knows about,” an anonymous source who allegedly witnessed the hazing told the Mustang News.

The university has also asked the national fraternity, which claims on its website to be the world’s largest Asian-interest fraternity, withdraw its recognition of the local chapter. It’s unclear whether that has taken place as of Saturday, and the Cal Poly chapter is still listed as active on the national website with a link to a Facebook page.

Mustang News also reported that Lambda Phi Epsilon was placed on social probation during the winter 2018 quarter after it was found to have had alcohol at a recruitment event.

The suspension of Lambda Phi Epsilon at Cal Poly is the latest major fraternity or sorority lawsuit, investigation, suspension or closure in the last year, as schools such as Indiana University, the University of Michigan, Wake Forest University, Ohio State University, Texas State, Florida State, Ball State, Louisiana State University, and Penn State have all suspended fraternities in the wake of hazing and alcohol deaths.

These reports come amidst similar allegations that have been made against fraternities nationwide, including Sigma Alpha Epsilon at East Carolina University, who was shut down for hazing and the Lambda Chi Alpha chapter at the University of Arkansas which has been accused of taking sexually explicit photographs of women without their permission.

In response to incidents like these, fraternities such Phi Kappa Psi have made numerous changes to their code of conduct in an effort to address the issues that have arisen. In addition, schools such as Texas State, West Virginia University, and Penn State University have introduced new Greek Life rules to try and prevent these problems.

The 10 Tips To Help Pay Off Student Debt & College Loans

0

According to the Federal Reserve, during the first quarter of 2018, student debt in the United States is currently at $1.5 trillion, exceeding auto loan debt ($1.1 trillion) and credit card debt ($977 billion). With one of the biggest debt in the US falling on the shoulders of college graduates, many students struggle to balance paying their loans to the demanding cost of living. While some students may find themselves defaulting their student loans, it’s better if to come up with a system that will help you pay, fast. Paying it as fast as possible has its own perks.

First, it has to do with interest. According to Maizie Simpson, data and news editor at Credit Karma, “the longer you draw out your repayment period, the more interest you’ll end up paying,” Simpson said. “The second reason is that the longer you have student loan debt, the longer you might put off big life decisions or making investments in your future, such as starting a family or contributing to a 401(k).”

The general gist of it all is to make sure that you have a plan in which you can make payments towards it, no matter whether it’s big or small. After reviewing many stories and plans of how previous college graduates pay off their student loans, here is a ten-step plan you can work with to pay yours off too.


1. Knowing How Much You Owe

One dollar bill meme

We all know that loans, in general, is the embodiment of stress. Loans stop you from doing the things you want to do. It stops you from making long-term investments like your 401K or a college fund for your kids. But to find a solution to the problem, you need to first recognize the problem. Taking measure to find how much you owe is the first step in helping you create your perfect plan. One way to find out is to check out National Student Loan Data System to find any federal student loans you took out while in college.


2. Prioritize Your Student Loan Debt

If you are in danger of or already missing student loan payments, Elyssa Kirkham, a finance reporter and student loan expert for Student Loan Hero,  recommends triaging your loans.
She recommends switching federal student loans to an income-driven repayment plan that will lower your monthly payments. Then the next step would be to apply for deferment or forbearance to pause the payments if you do encounter any major financial changes, such as losing a source of income.
Many private student loan lenders also provide an option to defer payments, Kirkham said. “And keep in mind that unless you have Direct Subsidized Loans, deferred student debt will continue to accrue interest and your balance will increase.”


3. Consider Other Possible Financial Debts

Prioritize. Prioritize. Prioritize. If you happen to have other financial debts that require your immediate attention like credit card balances, it might be in your best interests to pay them off first.


4. Save Money

Keeping your lifestyle modest and humble is a huge factor that will enable to have breathing room to pay your loans. You don’t need to live in a fancy apartment or needing to drive the newest Tesla. Live humbly and be as frugal as you need to sustain yourself and your happiness. But don’t get too excited and start swiping your card like a maniac. Prioritize. Every dollar saved is a dollar off your student debt.


5. Decide How Much You Want To Put Toward Student Loans

After calculating how much of your income should go towards your student loans, what’s left is your spending money. Even though it would make sense to put all your money into paying off student loans, don’t forget that you need to live too. You should try to have a set amount or a percentage of your paycheck to pay for your student loans.

6. Make Extra Student Loan Payments Each Month

Kirkham recommends making another student loan payments each month by setting up an automatic, extra payment to go through after each deposit. She says “This puts your student debt goal first and keeps it on track, instead of putting it at the mercy of your spending habits.”
However, some services will count them as advance payments instead of applying them to pay off the debt, so you need to call sometimes and make sure that it goes the way you want it to.


7. Pay High-Interest Student Loans First

There is a method called the debt avalanche method that worked really well for many when it comes to paying off their credit card. This method is basically making minimum payments on all your debts, but the difference to this is that you order debts not by their number, but by their interest rate. You start by paying off the highest interest rate debt first to make sure no additional fee racks up.


8. Refinance Certain Student Loans

Kirkham’s tip for this is, “Private student loans and PLUS student loans, in particular, tend to have high enough interest rates that it could make sense to refinance,” she said. “You’ll need to be well-qualified, but taking this step could help you replace your high-interest student debt with a new private student loan at a lower interest rate.”


9. Finding Another Source Of Income

Finding another source of income can be a good way to help boost you out of your financial crisis faster. Maybe you can have a side job as a barista at Starbucks on weekends, or have a garage sale. Whatever it is, any legal sources of income you can find and fit in your schedule is a good idea to help you pay off your loan faster.


10. Stay Motivated And Sticking To The Plan

I’m sure you’ve heard of the quote “Life is a marathon, not a sprint” and it is just as holistic and reassuring as it sounds. You could tackle your financial debts with this mindset. In a marathon, you go in a steady and comfortable pace that would allow you to reach longer distance than what a sprinter would go. Blowing off all your money into it and being inconsistent is not the key here. Following the last 9 steps has proven to work for many others in the past and most likely will for you too if you follow.

You need to stay committed and motivated in this type of investment if you want to live college debt free before you retire. As what Kirk says, “Keep your eye on the prize and stay focused on your goal of paying off student loans.” she said. “Track your progress and celebrate your wins as you go, from the first extra payment you make to the first student loan you pay off to the last payment you ever send a student loan servicer.”

Beta Theta Pi At The University Of Florida Placed On Probation For Underage Drinking

The University of Florida has placed the Beta Theta Pi fraternity on probation after being accused of giving minors alcohol at a summer party.

According to reports, the Florida chapter of Beta Theta Pi had been placed on probation until December 14 after they allegedly served alcohol to minors during the Summer semester.

In a letter written by Mick Earley, the Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution associate director, the university stated that they hold student safety “paramount” and will not tolerate behaviors that jeopardize the ability of our community members to find success in a positive way.

As a result of their probation, the fraternity can only attend five on- or off-campus events where alcohol is served, including tailgates, homecoming events, and socials. Additionally, fraternity members and guests are not allowed to drink alcohol at events that have not been approved by the Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution.

Furthermore, the chapter must create plans to address risk management, social events and safely hosting events with alcohol and present the plans to its members.

Finally, the fraternity has until November 23 to invite a law enforcement officer to talk to the chapter about the legal risks of underage drinking and what to do if someone has too much to drink.

The suspension of Beta Theta Pi at the University of Florida is the latest major fraternity or sorority lawsuit, investigation, suspension or closure in the last year, as schools such as Indiana University, the University of Michigan, Wake Forest University, Ohio State University, Texas State, Florida State, Ball State, Louisiana State University, and Penn State have all suspended fraternities in the wake of hazing and alcohol deaths.

These reports come amidst similar allegations that have been made against fraternities nationwide, including Sigma Alpha Epsilon at East Carolina University, who was shut down for hazing and the Lambda Chi Alpha chapter at the University of Arkansas which has been accused of taking sexually explicit photographs of women without their permission.

In response to incidents like these, fraternities such Phi Kappa Psi have made numerous changes to their code of conduct in an effort to address the issues that have arisen. In addition, schools such as Texas State, West Virginia University, and Penn State University have introduced new Greek Life rules to try and prevent these problems.

Nina Kouprianova Photos: Full Story & Must-See Details

Nina Kouprianova, the soon-to-be ex-wife of prominent white nationalist leader Richard Spencer, has accused him of physically, verbally and emotionally abusing her during the course of their eight-year marriage.

According to Kouprianova’s divorce filings in Flathead County District Court, Spencer was allegedly “physically, emotionally, verbally and financially abusive” during their eight-year marriage. Additionally, Kouprianova accuses Spencer of dragging her “out of bed” and “down the stairs” in a 2011 incident.

Kouprianova and Spencer, who got married in 2010 and share two children together, attempted to seal the divorce filings three times, but the judge denied those motions, stating that it sealing the filings would “infringe upon Article II, Section 9 of the Montana Constitution and the Freedom of the Press under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.”

The divorce documents — originally obtained by BuzzFeed News — state that Kouprianova alleges instances of “being hit, being grabbed, being dragged around by her hair, being held down in a manner causing bruising, and being prevented from calling for help.”

via BuzzFeed News:

Koupriianova — who went by Kouprianova in some public interviews and N.K. in the documents — “has been reluctant to call police or seek an order of protection for fear of further reprisal by” Spencer, her lawyers said in court documents. “Much of the abuse has occurred in the presence of the parties’ children.”

The documents said that Spencer’s “controversial public life” has led “his entire family to be targets of violence,” and Spencer kept a loaded weapon in his bedroom that was “accessible by children” after he was “assaulted in public” on the day of President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

“Despite the risk to his family,” Koupriianova argued in court, “[Spencer] continues to engage in extremely polarizing public speech advocating ‘peaceful ethnic cleansing’ and a white-only ‘ethno-state’ which tends to invite passions and violence.”

“Most, if not all, of [Spencer’s] public speaking events result in violence,” the affidavit states.

Spencer has denied Kouprianova’s claims, stating in court filings that he “disputes many of her assertions” and “denies each, every, and all allegations.”

CNN Breaking News

The Time Warner Center, where CNN located in NYC has been evacuated with reports of a suspicious device discovered.

There were reports that CNN headquarters at the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle were evacuated over yet another possible suspicious package. A security guard who answered the phone at the 58th Street location told News 4 no one was at their desks. NYPD said to avoid Columbus Circle.

CNN has to break early after fire alarm goes off in the studio. They have transferred their live broadcast to studios in Washington, D.C.

UPDATE: (10:33A.M.): The device found at Time Warner Center was a pipe with wires hanging out of it, law enforcement sources tell NBC 4. 58th Street is closed by the building.

CNN’s Jim Sciutto shared an image of the scene outside the Time Warner Center in New York. NYPD is responding to a suspicious device discovered in Time Warner Center, where CNN is based.

UPDATE (10:43A.M.): Bombs sent to George Soros, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and CNN are pipe bombs.

UPDATE (10:47 A.M): The suspicious package found at the Time Warner Center was addressed to a CNN correspondent, law enforcement sources tell NBC 4.

UPDATE (11:00 A.M): Patrons of the hotels and businesses that line 58th Street outside Time Warner Center in New York are allowed to leave the area, but they will not be allowed back in at this time.

One hotel tells CNN that they have not been told a time in which their patrons will be allowed back in, as the NYPD is still assessing the situation.

UPDATE (11:12 A.M): CNN reports that the entire area of W 58th St, between Columbus and 8th Ave, has been evacuated. Currently, the reporters can’t get closer for more information, either.

New York Police Department has issued an emergency alert urging people to “shelter in place” near the Time Warner building in New York City.

UPDATE (11:20 A.M): CNN President Jeff Zucker sent an email to all employees earlier this morning after learning a suspicious device was found in the Time Warner Center’s mailroom. The CNN newsroom is in the building.

Zucker said the building was “evacuated out of an abundance of caution” and they were “working with authorities to determine the severity of the situation.”

All bureaus around the world are being checked “out of a complete abundance of caution,” he added.

The Time Warner Center (CNN’s NYC bureau) has been evacuated. Jeff Zucker sent the following note to staff. No additional comment or details at this time. Watch CNN for developments. pic.twitter.com/m0Pd2JIwOA

— CNN Communications (@CNNPR) October 24, 2018

UPDATE (11:28 A.M): The package sent to Time Warner Center in New York was addressed to 10 Columbus Circle, according to two law enforcement sources.

Both CNN and the shops at Columbus Circle, a shopping mall, were listed at that address in internet searches. A Warner Media executive tells CNN’s Brian Stelter the package was received mid-morning, in the 9 A.M. hour, and the company doesn’t yet know who it was addressed to. Warner Media has no information about the sender.

UPDATE (11:30 A.M): CNN’s Poppy Harlow said moments ago that if the potentially explosive cannot be safely defused on-site, it could be transported to a location called Rodman’s Neck in the Bronx and detonated, according to NYPD.

UPDATE (11:39 A.M): The package with an explosive device sent to CNN’s New York offices today was addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan, according to the city and local law enforcement officials, according to CNN.

Brennan, an official in the Obama administration, is a frequent CNN guest and Trump critic whose security clearance was revoked by the President this summer. According to the NYPD website, the department maintains a training facility and firing range at that location.

Another law enforcement official tells CNN’s Evan Perez that the initial examination of all of the devices shows them to be constructed similarly. At least one of the devices appeared to contain projectiles, including shards of glass. The devices are rudimentary but functional.

UPDATE (11:58 A.M): There will be a briefing near the Time Warner Center in New York City at 12:45 P.M. ET, a New York Police official tells CNN. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Police Commissioner James O’Neill will be at the briefing, according to Mayor de Blasio’s press secretary Eric Phillips.

As a precaution, the NYPD Intelligence, Counterterrorism and Bomb Squad teams are increasing patrols at media locations in New York City and other potential areas.

UPDATE (12: 23 P.M): A US intelligence official tells CNN it is too early to tell whether there is a nexus to terrorism at this point regarding the suspicious packages sent to multiple locations today.

The official says the intelligence community is monitoring the situation regarding the suspicious packages, saying it is still very early in the process. Intelligence agencies could become involved later on but at this point, law enforcement is still assessing the facts on the ground.

UPDATE (12: 34 P.M): Officials with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive (ATF) are on scene at the site of the multiple suspicious packages. They are responding to packages mailed to officials in DC, and are at the Time Warner Center in New York and the office of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Florida, ATF spokesperson April Langwell said.

UPDATE (12: 52 P.M): Mayor Bill de Blasio, Governor Andrew Cuomo, and New York Police Commissioner James O’Neill are holding a news conference at Columbus Circle regarding the suspicious device found in the building of CNN’s New York offices.

New York Police Commissioner O’Neill said the device appeared to be a live explosive device. An envelope containing white powder was also discovered as part of the original packaging. “Responding officers identified a device that appeared to be a live explosive device and the bomb squad responded, secured the device and removed it for investigation,” O’Neill said.

UPDATE (1:05 P.M): Mayor Bill de Blasio, speaking at a news conference, said the device found at the CNN building is “clearly an act of terror.” He said the people of New York won’t be intimidated and will be undeterred.

“We cannot be terrorized if you refuse to allow the terrorists to win,” de Blasio said.

The situation at the Time Warner Center was clearly an act of terror attempting to undermine our free press and intimidate New Yorkers. But the people of this city have shown time and again that they stand up in the face of terror.

— Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) October 24, 2018

UPDATE (1:15 P.M.): Take a look at the suspicious package that was sent to the CNN building in New York City earlier this morning. It was addressed to John Brennan, the former CIA director, and “Time Warner (CNN).”

Explosive Devices Sent To The Obamas, The Clintons, The White House, CNN & More

Suspicious packages, some confirmed with explosives, have been sent to multiple prominent political people or places in the United States, including the Obamas, the Clintons, and the White House.

The FBI, Secret Service, and other agencies are currently investigating. At this time, a motive or suspect is not known. However, a senior law enforcement official says a package sent to CNN in the Time Warner Center is thought to be similar to the packages sent to Clinton, Obama and George Soros.

Press Secretary Sanders released the following statement on behalf of the White House:

We condemn the attempted violent attack recently made against President Obama, President Clinton, Secretary Clinton, and other public figures. These terrorizing acts are despicable, and anyone responsible will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. The United States Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies are investigating and will take all appropriate actions to protect anyone threatened by these cowards.

While initial reports from CNN and Reuters stated that one of these suspicious packages were sent to the White House, that report has since been denied, as NO explosive packages were sent to the White House.

Here are all the places suspicious packages (some confirmed with explosives) have been sent so far:


Where Suspicious Explosive Packages Have Been Sent:

Clemson Fraternity Who’s Floor Collapsed During Party Releases Statement

On Monday, October 22, we reported on the floor collapse at a Clemson University fraternity party that sent almost 30 people to the hospital. Now, almost four days after the incident, the fraternity has publicly responded.

The collapse — which happened around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, October 21 — happened during a party hosted by the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. John Burrell, the fraternity’s national executive director, described the party as a social event and stated that “numerous” attendees were injured.

In a statement to WYFF News 4, Burrell stated that Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity members “immediately contacted local fire and police departments to provide emergency support.”

As of Wednesday, October 24, three people remained in the hospital due to their injuries.

via WYFF News 4:

“We are praying for those who were injured and their families, and we are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals who have cared for them. Kappa Alpha Psi’s national and regional leadership are actively investigating the incident; and are working closely with Clemson University administrators to determine how the organization may assist in supporting event attendees.”

WYFF News 4 obtained building codes and the permit application for the Woodlands clubhouse. The documents show the first floor dimensions at 3,605 sq. ft. and second floor dimensions at 4,160 sq. ft. The maximum occupancy for the first floor, according to the paperwork provided by City of Clemson’s Director of Planning and Codes, is 135. The documents call for a wood-framed building. The 14-year-old site plans were not readily available. WYFF News 4 tried to contact the architect of the building with no success.

At the time of this writing, the investigation into the collapse continues and engineers will do an inspection on Thursday, October 25, to find out more about how the collapse happened and who may be at fault.

“The University will continue to do everything it can to help and support our students who were affected by this terrible situation, as well as their families and friends,” Clemson University President Jim Clements said in the statement.

Additionally, Clemson Provost Bob Jones said the university’s faculty had been asked “to exercise some flexibility in attendance policies for those students who were involved in this traumatic event.”

The rematch was another big win for Liddell at UFC 66 on December 30, 2006.

Homework. Midterms. Finals. If you’re a student, I know those words trigger this sinking, throbbing pain in your heart that we’re all unfortunately familiar with. Now, studying isn’t fun, and neither is failing. Back then, we were stuck with no choice but to hit the books the old fashion way. But nowadays, life doesn’t need to be that much of a struggle. Instead of taking the dreadful treks to the abhorred library a million blocks away, or timelessly glaring at your notes in hopes of a eureka moment, we finally have something we can call our friend. The internet.

With it, you can do so much more than just killing time on social platforms or gaming. Wielding its limitless potential, you can use it to guide yourself closer to your diploma(s). There are actually myriad of sites that offer help on a variety of topics ranging from algebra to convoluted subjects like quantum physics (yikes). Many require you to pay a fee, but there are a few that don’t. Without further adieu, here are 10 free sites all students need to visit.


1. Khan Academy

ICYMI: Earlier this year we partnered with Khan Academy to make our official LSAT Prep course available for all, for free. Get started here: https://t.co/PFGnwNoKBS pic.twitter.com/6iSC9Dldhv

— Law School Forums (@LSACForums) October 8, 2018

Created in 2005 by American entrepreneur and educator, Sal Khan, this supplement to in-class learning site aims to help students prosper with the plethora of online tools they have. Offering free lessons on math, art, computer programming, economics, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, finance, history, and more, there is really no reason why you shouldn’t check this site out. The style of teaching here is elementary, yet simple to understand. Khan’s videos display drawings on an electronic blackboard, which is similar to a conventional lecture. The narrator then describes each drawing and how they relate to the material being taught. They also offer free SHSAT, SAT, and LSAT lessons.


2. CodeAcademy

This is arguably the best time to be alive. With everything so advanced and convenient through the invention of computers and AI, this world is heading towards digitizing almost everything in the future. That’s why learning coding and about AI technology is imperative today. Lucky for you, people like Zach Sims and Ryan Bubinski has blessed us with help. As founders of CodeAcademy, Sims, and Bubinski created this online interactive platform that offers free coding classes in 12 different programming languages including Python, Java, JavaScript jQuery, AngularJS, React.js, Ruby, SQL, Sass, HTML, CSS, and more. This site guides you step by step by breaking down and explaining the basics of coding. You have a half of the screen like how you would imagine coding to be like, with the other half being instructions to help you. This is definitely one site you shouldn’t take for granted.


3. Duolingo

How many languages do you speak? One? Two? According to Linkedin, mastering one or more foreign languages is one of the most sought-after skills in the market today. So why lag behind and settle for less when you have Duolingo here to help you? This site has an online website as well as an app to help its users learn at anytime, anywhere. Created in 2009, Carnegie Mellon University professor Luis von Ahn and his students created this after seeing how expensive it is to learn a new language. After launching it, the company flourished and captured the eyes of many investors that led to its success today. Duolingo offers over 30+ languages, with conventional ways of learning as well as games to make the learning experience more engaging. But personally, one thing I like about it the most is that it is FREE. Don’t sleep on this folks.


4. Grammarly

Oh wow @Grammarly for Chrome is now editing #GoogleDocs! Life is good. pic.twitter.com/FN6BiNDtmk

— Robin Worley, EdD (@RobinLWorley) September 28, 2018

Now, this isn’t really a site, but this is something so important and helpful that I feel every student with a computer should have. Have you ever received your graded essay from your teacher with red ink splattered on top of the paper writing “check your spelling” or “You need to work on your grammar!”? Well I know I have and it’s not what I wanted to see after the grade. That’s why Grammarly is so important here. Grammarly automatically detects grammar, spelling, punctuation, word choice, and style mistakes in your writing. It is an extension that can be installed in many web browsers such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. It also works on your phone too. So while you formulate and write down your thoughts, you won’t ever to worry about spelling and grammar mistakes again.


5. The Most Dangerous Writing App

This is perfect for procrastinators. If you have a big issue with completing your essays on time because you procrastinate, then this site is made just for people like you. The logistics of it is in its name, and the “danger” of it is you losing everything you’ve typed out. Here’s how it works. The Most Dangerous Writing App is an online tool that lets you set a timer and then start typing on a clean, uncluttered page. The timer is located on top of the page, and you get to see how much time you have left till your next type. Basically, once you hit the first key, the timer starts and resets everytime you hit another key. It’s grace time between each key is around 6 seconds, and if you miss that, the app will erase all your work, for good. In a way, it forces you to not procrastinate and finish what you need to do. Now, do you see why it’s the most dangerous writing app?


6. Koofers

I bet you haven’t heard of this one before, but don’t let its name fool you. Koofer is a site where everyone shares academic information. Some of Koofers’ services span to planning and learning past study materials, flashcards, and more. Those study materials are uploading by previous students who had them, or anyone else who is studying that same topic as you. What’s helpful is that all you need to do is sign up for an account with your email and then validate your information and then you’re all set to go. It also offers functions for people who are seeking for job openings.


7. TED Talks

Now self-help may not be a topic that is often taught in school, but it is still something that you need to learn right? For one, it can offer you inspirations so you can write more interesting essays in school. Its slogan is the perfect representation of what the organization is about. Spreading ideas that are worth spreading. TED Talk’s early topics focused on technology and design, but it has since broadened its horizons to include talks on many scientific, cultural, and academic issues. The organization gets experts to talk on their show, and have them teach the audience what they learned, or what they want the audience to know about. This is all purely educational.


8. RealCalc

So in college, I know many Professors tell their students to buy a specific type of calculator to cater to the subject. I also know that some calculators go up to $200. But this Google app is a game changer. RealCalc is a scientific calculator you can download to your phone or computer and use it to complete most of the math assignments you may have. You can get it by googling “RealCalc” and just download it. Absolutely free of charge!


9. HowCast

This website offers so many instructional how-tos’ for topics ranging from academics, constructing, cooking, skating, and many more. It has a program called the Emerging Filmmakers Program that allows filmmakers to apply to make videos for them. They are then paid by receiving $50 for every video and 50% of the advertising revenue generated from videos that generate over 40,000 views.
