Websites I Use to Study as a Student

These are all websites you can have in the bag while studying. I usually place this on my devices so that I can avoid using them

- I Miss My Cafe:

This website includes a Playlist that can be played alongside all the available background noises. You can control the volume of all the noises to customize your experience.

- I Miss My Library:

This website has a similar setup to I Miss My Cafe. You have access to some of the noises you would typically find in a library. Except that this website allows you to add tasks which you can mark as completed.

- Hipstersound:

This website has multiple atmospheric sounds to choose from. This ranges from an animate buzz of a busy cafeteria to a gentle chatter of a Danish restaurant. The basic features and free and if you would like to get access to all the feature you should use the premium.

- Virtual Cottage:

This is less of a website and more of a desktop app. You can add tasks with a max of 3 at a time as well as add timers which you can decide if they are sound or not. You can shuffle the music that plays or select whether you want wind, rain, snow, or fire. You can also see that the lighting changes as the day progresses.
