In This Article:

When I walked into my first business class freshman year (20 minutes early) I was brutally unprepared. All I knew about business was from dinner conversations with my family, a little bit of news when I couldn't avoid watching it, and the fact that accounting and finance were both, you know, things. As a third-year business student now, here are a list of some apps, websites, you name it! that could have definitely saved my back from the start!

1. Wall Street Journal

A given. The WSJ is dense, but sometimes the best way to go about reading it is looking at the top news in the US & top news in the world sections on the front page. From there, if anything sparks your interest, go straight to that page! A better option than the paper is the app, which sends you updates in real time!

2. NY Times App

Along those lines, the New York Times also has an app that regularly sends updates. It's easy to use and it goes without saying that the name is highly respected.

3. Morning Brew

Arguably my favorite. This is the absolute easiest way to keep up with all business news. It's a brief, 5 minute read that comes to your inbox each morning at 6 AM. It even discusses the latest moves in the market and recent M&A news.

Shameless plug: Use my link to sign up! morningbrew.com/?kid=287c03

4. Mergers & Inquisitions

So helpful if you're looking to get to Wall Street some day! M&I helps students prepare for interviews in all things Mergers & Acquisitions. The website also features interviews from bankers!

5. Twitter

Disclaimer: Just follow the right people.

6. TheSkimm

Another in-your-inbox morning newsletter! Unlike the Morning Brew, TheSkimm focuses less on business and more on world news. The newsletters are witty and an easy read early in the morning.

7. LinkedIn

If you can master LinkedIn, you are one step ahead of everyone else! Do's: bios, select accomplishments, and updating job status. Do not's: frequent & excessive updates, inappropriate photos, non business-related posts.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
