As a college student,

Writing college essays can be tedious and stressful...

So I have found an AI, that turns my writing process into a seamless and manageable process.

Here's how you can do the same:
The tool is WriteSonic.

Founded by Samanyou Garg, Writesonic raised pre-seed funding of $125K, all from Y Combinator.

Here are some ways how WriteSonic can improve your writing
Text Summary:

WriteSonic allows me to skim through multiple articles at a time.

And if you are doing your prestudy...

- Then getting keywords

- Getting multiple perspectives

This is how you cut down research time.
Article and Outline:

Before you start, you need an outline:

You could use something like this:
- What is the key idea?
- How can I prove it?

Pro tips: To get different perspectives ask the AI to use this prompt:

[ You are X who specializes in Y for Z]
Grammar and Plagiarize:

Although there are alternatives like Grammarly,

Having the feature in the software help you:

- reduce friction
- save more money.

Sometimes the AI is incorrect, so take your time to edit it too.
Citations Generator:

This is the best part about WriteSonic.

Finding and managing citation is a time-consuming process for most students.

The software analyzes your essay and finds citations from sources online.
Chatsonic:

Different from ChatGPT, ChatSonic is:

- connected to real-time data
- Can respond with images & voice
- Create digital artwork and visuals for any purpose

Personal AI:

You need a person to bounce essay ideas with?

Now, you can train an AI to be whatever you want.

It may take some time, but afterward, the bot can:

- Be your friend
- Be your second brain
- Write in your exact style.

It's like living in 2050
In summary

You get a free trial with 2500 words, and then it's $13/month

If you are a student looking to simplify the essay writing process.

This is a great tool for your toolkit.

A "cognitive bias" is a systematic error in thinking that ruins decision-making.

The 12 most powerful cognitive biases I've found: Image
1. Parkinson's Law:

Work expands to fill the time given.

When we have more time, we tend to procrastinate and become inefficient.

A good reminder to track your tasks duration and energy level. Image
2. Goodhart's Law:

When a measure becomes a goal, it stops being a good measure.

I.g: Exams and standard admission shifted the focus of education.

It's no longer about the students, but about grades and pay. Image

This is the most powerful experiment on human potential:

The Pygmalion Effect.

It’s the true root cause why most people stay stuck, depressed, and never reach their true potential…

Here's a 4-step protocol to break the cycle today: 🧵 Image
1964. A small elementary school in California.

Psychologist Robert Rosenthal walks in with a dangerous question:

"What if intelligence isn’t fixed?"

What if it’s malleable—and can be changed by nothing more than belief? Image
Image
So he tested every child’s IQ.

Then he RIGGED the result.

Rosenthal randomly chose a handful of kids and told their teachers:

“These are your ‘intellectual bloomers.’ They’ll make exceptional progress this year.”

People are now using “Buy Now, Pay Later” for $1000 Coachella tickets, $10 burritos, and even $4 Starbucks drinks.

No interest.
No credit check.
No strings attached.

You've been lied to.

BNPL is actually one of the sneakiest money scams ever built... Let me explain: (THREAD)🧵 Image
As a Vietnamee, BNPL is just starting to grow in Vietnam.

But in the West?

You can now finance burritos, deodorant, and even concert tickets.

This isn't just about money. It's about psychology, debt, and what no one teaches you in school.

Let’s break it down...
1. What is Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL)?

Services like Klarna, Affirm, and Afterpay let you split a purchase into 4 interest-free payments.

It sounds smart. Flexible. Convenient.

But the way they *design* it is the real trick.

One night in 1899, Nikola Tesla detected some mysterious signals from his tower.

He believed it came from Mars, Jupiter, or even aliens from another universe.

What he heard was much more fascinating: [THREAD] 🧵
Nikola Tesla was already famous in 1899.

His electrical inventions changed the world.

But that year, alone in his Colorado Springs lab, something happened that haunted him forever.

Something he couldn't explain... Image
Image
Tesla had built a massive experiment.

Goal: Send electricity through the air without wires.

His lab had the world's most powerful transmitter.
It could detect the tiniest electrical signals.

One night, it picked up something impossible... Image

You can't think your way out of anxiety, depression, stress, or overthinking...

They are not in your head, but also not in your genes...

Pills numb the alarm while the fire burns.

Here's a guide to detox the organ that is destroying your mental health: 🧵 Image

Let's envision someone named Tina.

CEO of a tech startup.
Crushing it professionally.

Heart pounding over emails.
But waking up at 3 AM with ruminations.
Convinced she was "just an anxious person."

Familiar? Image
Image
Your brain is actually 3 brains stacked on top of each other:

• Neocortex (Human brain) - Logic, language, planning

• Limbic (Mammal brain) - Emotions, memory, bonding

• Reptilian (Survival brain) - Fight, flight, freeze

Guess which one controls your anxiety? Image

This was Winston Churchill's darkest WWII secret.

Inside this hidden bunker, 6 men were buried alive to spy on Hitler's troops.

Exiled from the world with only 7 years of supplies

Their story was classified for decades...

Welcome to Operation Tracer: 🧵 Image
By 1940, Europe was in chaos:

- France had fallen.
- Italy joined Hitler.
- Britain stood alone.

Gibraltar, the gateway to the Mediterranean, was the lifeline.

Lose it, and Allied supply routes would collapse. Image
Image
The Rock became one of the most valuable pieces of land in the world.

Churchill knew the Axis wanted it.

If they took it, Britain’s naval presence in the region would be crippled.
