So after a seemingly never-ending summer, the beginning of fall semester is finally upon us. Unfortunately, as much as we are all looking forward to seeing our friends and being degenerates for the week leading up to classes, we’re going to have to be responsible sooner or later. In order to make the transition into school-mode a little easier, here is a list of apps to help all of us function as real people again and feel a little tech savvy along the way.

Mint or Expense: A great way to help you keep track of your expenses because we all know we’re trying to make that weekly paycheck or allowance last till Thursday so you can ball out on Vodka Sodas at Nickel.

HypeMachine: This app pulls the most popular blogged music from a bunch of different sites. It’ll be your newest go-to for when you drunkenly steal the aux chord at the pregame and want to impress everyone with your “hip” taste in music.

Tilt: Tilt is the newest and easiest way to collect money with a group for free. It brought many great tailgates and parties to Uconn last year and will continue to do so this year. Perfect for party buses, dues, rent or Philanthropy Events as well.

Wake: Anyone else experience PTSD when they hear the iPhone alarm tone? Wake has a bunch of goofy sounds that will make waking up less aggravating and traumatizing.

Opentable: Perfect for when you feel like venturing outside of the Student Union or Dining Halls for a first date or birthday dinner. It allows you to see restaurants' availability at a moment's notice and book reservations from your phone.

Chromecast: Allows you to stream media straight from your phone to your TV so that you and your roommates can converge in the living room and attempt to piece together your night from iPhone pics.
