Now that college students no longer have access to their libraries in the same way we used to and have to do most of our learning at home it would be just terrible if we all knew about https://1lib.eu/ a website which has books on basically every topic ever available for free including college textbooks. Imagine if people were researching their thesis without paying for it.
DO NOT USE THIS SITE AND DEFINITELY DO NOT NOT TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS SITE, THEY MIGHT START DOING THESIS RESEARCH FOR FREE OR JUST START READING BOOKS THEY FOUND ON THERE FOR FUN BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE INTERESTING. This would be terrible :( :(
Reblog to spread the word so that everyone knows to avoid this site!

Don't you see the people on TV, the singers, the actors, the sportsmen with envy? Do you wish that you could be like them, shining? But then your heart dismays because you know. You know, you'll never be like them. Not a star just someone in the background. Alone and dark. You then curse, why weren't you blessed with the same opportunity, provided with the same facilities. You wish there wasn't such a huge stigma behind such professions in your society. You wish you could be anyone but yourself.
