Getting started with LaTeX for university assignments

Here is one fairly good way of getting started with LaTeX:
1.) Download the standard LaTeX distribution for your operating system (MacTeX or MiKTeX or TeX Live)
2.) Download TeXstudio
3.) When writing your first .tex file for maths or physics or engineering homework on TeXstudio, use this guy's shit (https://github.com/jdavis/latex-homework-template) as a basis (if you copy and paste all his formatting code, you'll have to install a bunch of packages in order to create your first PDF - but you don't need to do this beforehand. When you try to create the PDF you should get prompted to install all these packages, one at a time).

Until an hour ago, I was using Atom with the Atom LaTeX package.. This was ok, but TeXstudio is a big upgrade in terms of utility (I mean one cool thing about the Atom LaTeX package is that I was able to create PDFs with code that literally wouldn't compile in TeXstudio. Don't ask how.)
