I always used https://www.bibme.org/ to keep track of my citations. When you're writing papers for two classes or have a longer term paper done using this can be extremely helpful. Also, if you have to do an annotated bibliography you can add your annotations in the page and it is a nice copy paste.
I use NordVPN for torrenting and bypassing geo-blocked streams, though I'm an online student. I imagine it should work on blocked websites if they block any. You can always get a free trial and see for yourself.
I use a similar system, but I just import the things into Notion. And it's freeeee! Bit of a learning curve, but so worth it, IME. I think my favorite part is being able to drag and drop things around as I write without having to continually battle hard coded formatting like I do in Word/Docs.
The first half of it is very simple, like high easy school math, and then it veers suddenly into trig and setting you up for precalc. The end of it was pretty intense.

Get a cheap graphing calculator, you'll be fine with that. I have this one and it's great: Casio graphing calc
Welcome! I am just halfway through my Social Psychology BA program :) This book has been extremely helpful for writing research papers. Also, powerthesaurus.com., grammarly and online APA citation generators. After writing so many academic research papers, choosing fresh language and sentence flow can become tiresome. Even after you get the hang of citation formats and paper organization, it’s just nice and handy to have those little helpful tools! You will do great!
