Five Apps Every College Student Totally Needs

I mean you can survive without them but why would you do that?

Five Apps Every College Student Totally Needs
Huffington Post

In today's age where your cell phone can do anything from send a text to take your heart beat, it is clear the possibilities are endless on that hand held device that we never put down. Here are a few of the most helpful (or entertaining) apps I have discovered as a college student.

1. GroupMe

GroupMe is an app designed to have multiple group messages for an organization that is separate from your text messages. Whilst going into college it was the first app I was encouraged (and ultimately forced) to download. You can join groups, mute them, and then ignore your responsibilities for ages with this helpful app.

2. Uber

This taxi cab takeover has changed the way students party in modern day young adult communities. No need for a designated driver in your friend group (aged 21 and over) when going out! This relatively affordable option sends kind strangers with very clean Kia Optimas to pick up you and your group of friends after a night on the town.

3. UNiDAYS: UNiDAYS is an app designed for students to get a real bang for their buck by providing the nearest and greatest student discounts. This app has great deals on normally high end products, such as American Apparel, Urban Outfitters and Crocs.

4. Rock Clock

This is my personal favorite college survival app. This is an alarm clock created by pro-wrestler and actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson that encourages you to upkeep goals you set with inspirational phrases and photos provided by Mr. Johnson himself. If you sleep through your alarm he sends multiple notifications to your phone reminding you how you can't achieve your goals laying in bed. It certainly motivates ME to get to class on time!

5. StudyBlue

Flashcards are essential to a successful college career, but writing out flashcards is such a waste of my valuable millennial time. This app makes creating flashcards a snap and students can swipe through any terms their professors force them to memorize.

The list could go on for days on apps that have personally impacted me as a college student, but Tinder and Netflix didn't seem like they needed explanation. As the fall semester approaches, I encourage all college students to explore these apps!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
