Let's admit it, college can be challenging academically. So here are some apps that will help change your academic life, from helping you focus better to improving your grades.

Duolingo

Duolingo is an amazing app that helps you improve your language skills in a fun and simple way. It allows users to improve their reading, writing, and speaking skills. Currently, the app offers languages like Spanish, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Irish, French, and many other languages!

Nozio

Nozio is an ambient sound equalizer to help you relax or focus better. The app allows you to mix a variety of sounds like ocean waves, rain, thunderstorms, cafe sounds, and even blue whales to create a mix of sound that is best for you! I use Nozio a lot when I need to study and find it super effective!

TinyScanner

Everyone knows the college students have no time to go to the library do things like scan documents! So the next time you need to scan something download this app. The TinyScanner app is great because it allows users to scan their documents with their phones! All you have to do is take a picture of the document from your phone's camera and TinyScanner will turn it into a pdf. I would definitely recommend this app as its convenient and a real time saver!

Quizlet

Quizlet is a mobile and online based application that allows users to make flashcards of material and then practice it. In addition to making your own flashcards, you can also search and find flashcards others have made for classes you are in! I have been using Quizlet for a long time and really do think its helped my study better.

Grammarly

Okay so Grammarly is more like an extension rather than an app but I just had to talk about it because it seriously changed my life! Grammarly is a writing enhancement platform that can check for a variety of things from grammatical errors to plagiarism. The extension can be downloaded to your phone or chrome browser and it will check these errors for you in real time as you type on any device!

Check out some of these apps to help improve your academic life!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
