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!

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.
