App for relaxation

Headspace: Being a student one tends to ignore their physical and mental health, especially the later one. Hence, they often struggle with problems related to mental health issues. The age at which a student has to face most of the big exams(X, XII boards, NEET,JEE) is an uncertain one. Not only in their academic life, the uncertainties might extend beyond. Hence, as a student it becomes vital to take care of one’s mental health from the start and there are a number of apps for that. Headspace is an amazing app for meditation, increasing concentration or even just trying to relax. It has stories, calming music, meditation sessions and many more with a very calm voice taking you through each journey. Hence, headspace is a highly recommendable app to keep a healthy and clear mind.

The all in one app!

YouTube: Well now this app needs no introduction even if you are just mildly aware of what the internet is. This video app is a platform of any and every kind of video content. The contents can vary from online gaming streams to explaining the concept of organic chemistry. But here, let’s focus on the education side of YouTube. It consists of e-learning classes starting from nursery to a concept for a PHD degree! But one con of having such a wide range of content all in one platform is that the information gets scattered and hence harder to find. Hence, there are youtube channels that provide you with classes and chapters for particular exams or grades and preponline has a channel too and it provides concise learning. Here, they provide classes for 10th, 12th and NEET aspirants with free math, biology and chemistry classes respectively.

Conclusion:

The internet can be used as a boon or a ban because of the dynamic number of information available over there. Even this blog that you are reading is somewhere on the internet and that’s how you are being able to read it. No one can ever give an ultimatum and say whether this platform of endless information is good or bad because at the end of the day this depends on whether we use it for our good or the vice versa. As a student this becomes even more crucial because of the age we are in during our academic years. Hence being precocious from the start is necessary.
