Fun Tech Toys For The Fall 2016 Semester

Fun Tech Toys For The Fall 2016 Semester
University of Texas

Today's technology is so fun to me. Now there are so many different devices and tech gear to help people and keep them entertained for hours.

So, here are some cool tech toys could be helpful for the Fall semester, and that I hope you all will find as cool and interesting as I did.


1. Fitbit Charge HR

Those of you who know me know that I am obsessed with my Fitbit. It's my life. What I really love about it, is just how aware it has made me been of my fitness and how much I am actually doing in a day. If you don't have one yet I seriously suggest looking into getting one. They will change your life.

Price: $120 up depending on where you purchase yours.

2. Chromecast

I'm sure most people have heard of Chromecast, but I just think it's still one of the coolest things ever.

Price: $30


3. Livescribe Pen

When I heard about this pen I nearly lost my mind. It will record lectures, copy what you're writing to your device, and you can even send and share your notes.

Price: $100 and up


4. Bose Wireless Headphones

We all know that Bose is a pricy brand, but it's also one of the best. I always think that owning a quality pair of headphones, especially when you're needing to study, can really come in handy. Maybe one day I will convince myself to purchase a pair of Bose, but for now I'll just keep dreaming.

Price: Depends on the type of headphones

5. Notability App

Notability is a cool app that lets you record your professors words to text, organize and share notes, and more. It's a really great way to help you get take the notes you need for when it comes time for studying.

Price: $7.99 on iTunes


6. My Little Steamer

Okay, don't laugh. I know this isn't SUPER high tech, but it's probably one of the best "tech" things I own. The name basically says it all. It's a little steamer that you can literally take anywhere. It's so perfect when you're in a hurry or don't have a lot of space to put an ironing board. You might judge now, but you'll thank me later.

Price: $19.99

7. Ruggie

I thought this was awesome. Mostly, because I know that there is no way I would be able to sleep in if bought this. It's an alarm clock that makes you step on it in order for the alarm to stop ringing, and will even reward you with motivation to get out of bed. Ruggie is on Kickstarter, but I'm pretty sure will be making it's way around the houses of America very soon.

Price: The retail price is $99

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
