Here are 11 apps to make your stressful college life, just a little bit less hectic.

1. Alarmy

Let's start the day! Alarmy is an alarm clock app to wake you up for that dreadful 8 am. Not only does it set off an alarm sound of your choice, but in order to turn it off, it requires you to either solve a math problem, shake your phone 50 times, OR register a place or object which you have to take a picture of. These are meant to wake you up more than just hitting snooze.

2. Quizlet 

Are we surprised?! Downloading Quizlet on my phone gave me no excuse not to study wherever I am.

3. Uber/ Lyft 

You likely won't have a car on campus at some point in your college career. Get exactly where you need to be with these free to download apps.

4. Amazon

Do you ever think of something you need in the dead middle of a lecture? Same. Just pull out your phone and add it to your Amazon cart and it will be at your door in 2 days.

5. Venmo/Paypal

I try not to carry a lot of cash on me or keep it in my room for safety reasons. These apps let you transfer money quickly and efficiently to friends, businesses and more.

6. Spotify/Pandora/Apple Music

Download music for all those long walks to class and library sessions.

7. Flo

This app is the most modern system to keep track of your menstrual cycle.

8. DoorDash/UberEats

If you have a car or not, you will definitely be craving your favorite restaurant in your college town but too lazy to go get it! DoorDash and other food delivery services will be at your door in less than an hour.

9. Tasty

Those Facebook videos that you're addicted to watching? They now have an app that you can search through thousands of recipes and videos for your next meal. Take apartment living to a whole new level.

10. Mint: Personal Finance 

In college, it is so easy to swipe your debit card multiple times a day. Mint tracks your spending and lets you set specific budgets for categories such as Fast Food, Clothes, Coffee and more.

11. Starbucks

I've yet to meet a college girl without a Starbucks addiction. Pay in store or order online for your fav drink. Rack up points to earn a free drink reward!

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

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.
