Five Apps All College Students Should Download

Being the tech-savvy young people that we are, there’s no doubt that our smartphones are filled with many different apps. As well as being smooth with technology, we college students are known for being resourceful. You can make your life much easier with the right apps on your phone this semester and many in the future. Read the list below and start downloading!

1. Square Cash

Square Cash is an app created for sharing money. If you want to pull money together for a party, all you have to do is sync your card to the app and push send. It will all go to your bank account and all of a sudden you have plenty of money for cheap Natty Light. This is also very useful for paying bills between you and all of your roommates without trying to write checks and collecting cash.

2. Any.do

This is a basic application for a to-do list but it is silky smooth in operation, making it easy to stay productive throughout the day. If you turn on your push notifications, you will be reminded throughout the day that you have tasks that you wanted to have completed.

3. Rate My Professor

We all hate sitting in a lecture with an extremely boring professor, so why not prevent that by checking out what others have to say about them? That’s exactly what Rate My Professor is all about. You will be warned about the hard exams and harsh grading scales as well as the nice professors who will take their time to help you succeed. There’s even a red hot pepper symbol next to some of the names to let you know if the professor in question is attractive or not. Before you schedule next semester’s classes, make sure you check out Rate My Professor.

4. Mixologist

OK, if you don’t drink then you wouldn’t need to download this app. But, according to the numbers, most of you will like this. Mixologist teaches you how to be your own bartender. With plenty of categories of drinks, you can impress your friends with new combinations for any occasion. Plus, it’s a lot of fun to try new drinks as well. Get to mixin’ with Mixologist for your next party.

5. Pocket Points

Pocket Points is a great way to pay attention in class while being rewarded for doing so. The idea of it is simple. You get “pocket points” for having your phone locked in class and not using it. In return, these points can be used at local restaurants that participate in the use of the app. The downfall of the app is that it hasn’t spread to all colleges yet. It’s worth a download if you can find your school!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
