The one app you need for this new year.
SuperBetter

The Smartphone is still thriving and many of us use ours to network. Making common connections online is just one major way to stay up to date with our friends, coworkers, and our own interests. However, in our buzzing lives we have the opportunity to forget where our values, goals and habits lie. This is where SuperBetter steps in to save the day. SuperBetter is a game which pushes you to identify a major goal (epic win) you are trying to achieve as well as any personal challenges that may be hindering your progress. A few of the brainstorming ideas they have provided for your epic wins are: What does "success" look like to you? What do you want to go an entire 24 hours without doing? What would you feel really proud to do for 7 days in a row? etc. Once you choose an answer to any of these questions, thus creating your epic win, you pick an adversity to the win that has been standing in the way of you reaching it. Challenges include; anxiety, chronic pain, depression, eating healthier, lowering stress, sleeping better, transitioning, will power, or just getting super better! You can also make your own challenge that will help you through a more personal mountain in your life.

One of the coolest parts about this experience is that you create a secret identity for yourself. Since this game is built around our superhero culture it allows you to express your personality and gives you the chance to truly be the hero you are. When you have everything picked out the app helps you find a "power-pack" to get you started on working towards your epic win. Stress buster, the mood elevator, lazy exercise, being awesome, and simply connected are only a sample of the power packs included in this highly recommended app. They all come with quests and power-ups that guide you towards defeating "bad-guys" (obstacles) throughout your day.

How does this help you stay connected with your inner circle, though? Well, a superhero wouldn't be as powerful without their super allies. Inviting allies to join you on your journey and having them start their own ensures all of you with tasks of checking in with one another and offering quests or power-ups that you think someone might benefit from. This is more than a game where you stare at your phone for 10-15 minutes a day, this is a way for you to break out of your comfort zone and overcome the challenges that have been steadily getting in your way. If you don't think you need an app to tell you what to do then just sit on this tip for when you need an extra confidence boost. After all, doesn't everyone want to get super better?

Start your climb towards becoming super better today!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
