6 Interesting Apps You Didn't Know You Needed

I present to you a random assortment of mobile phone applications that I know you need. These apps have made my life so much better. God bless the creators!

1. Headspace

Headspace is an app that uses animations to make meditation fun and easy! It is extremely helpful for beginners and even professionals. Personally, it has helped me incorporate meditation into my daily routine with great ease, following a very well curated step-by-step procedure. You have to do literally nothing! Just download the app and it tells you exactly what to do. It is a great way to end a stressful day. In addition to meditation, it has a series called "MINIS" that are "super short exercises you can do any time," including "Breathe," "Unwind" and "Refresh."

2. RunPee

Run, Forest!

This one is a life-saver! Imagine this: you're finally watching "Avengers 3," a movie you've waited months for. But you got too excited and bought a large cup of Coke. What happens now? You've got to pee, but you can't miss the movie! That's where RunPee comes in. This app tells you the best time to take a pee-break during your favourite movie so that you don't miss the best scenes.

3. Flush

Monsters Inc. pee

Can you sense a pattern here?

Have you ever been lost in a random place, and as if the strange location wasn't enough, your bladder suddenly decides to turn to Satan's side? Same. That is why you need Flush. Flush quickly finds you the nearest bathrooms. Need I say more?

4. Tasty

Yup, you need the app. For the love of food and convenience. Have you ever found yourself Googling that one video of that one Tasty recipe you saw on Instagram that one time? Using the Tasty app allows you to save recipes and also access more cool stuff, like tips from other cooks. You can also search recipes here! So much better than scrolling through their Instagram!

5. Sleepyti.me

Dog yawning

Here's the deal: we need sleep. We also have no self-control when it comes to YouTube videos. This is why we need Sleepyti.me. This app helps you "wake up refreshed" by determining the exact time you should sleep and/or wake up. It works on the basis of the study that states that most sleep cycles last roughly 90 minutes, and waking up between is better than waking up during these cycles.

6. flic

Full phone storage

flic is "Tinder for your Camera Roll." flic filters out the pictures on your phone, and let's you easily delete (swipe left) or keep (swipe right) pictures. A great way of making more space on your phone!

And all these apps are for free! If it's free AND it's helping, why would you not download it? Thank me later.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
