The needs of a freshman in college are vastly different than any other grade. They are learning to be responsible, independent, and organized. These five apps can help them to do so with ease.

1. Mindly.

This app allows you to visually map out everything running through your head so that it may be a little bit more manageable. It doesn't require internet connection to work and is a great way to plan for things like essays or events.

2. Circle of 6.

Circle of Six allows you to input six contacts to be quickly and easily alerted in case of an emergency. This app has been praised for it's use to prevent dangerous situations during those late night parties or lonely walks home where anything could go wrong.

3. TED.

TED is my favorite app for a quick wake up with meaning. The app is filled with short lectures that touch on just about anything you could think of. Instead of checking Facebook in the morning, check this instead. It'll kick start the right parts of the brain to lead to a successful day of learning.

4. Wunderlist.

Are you one of those people that forgets everything within twenty minutes? Write it down. Wunderlist is my go to app for making to do lists, shopping lists, and even just jotting down numbers I need to call back. It allows me to keep moving but, not forget the things I said I would do when I got back home.

5. Wabbitemu

This app has saved my life at least seven times. Wabbitemu may be a strange title for a virtual calculator, but it's so versatile and easy to use. If you lose your $60+ graphing calculator, Wabbitemu will hold it's place until you relocate it a week, or month, later. This is also useful for doing bills, finding a tip, or figuring a discount while shopping.

These apps are definitely worth making space for on your iPhone.

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.
