Some of these apps you may have never heard of and some of them are very well known but all of them are game-changers when it comes to making an amazing home screen.

Pinterest

Pinterest is an app that you can use to get inspiration, background photos, icons to use as app covers, widget photos, and everything else.

It is truly so underrated and usually skipped over when thinking about updating the home screen. But don't forget about it!

Widgetsmith

Widgetsmith is the key to customizing your lock screen. it is how you get all of those pictures, calendars and slideshows on your home screen. It is also free to download and super easy to use!

Shortcuts

Apple

Shortcuts is automatically downloaded on your phone since it is an Apple app and this is how you get the images on the apps or app covers.

You can use shortcuts to also create automations for Siri to say when you plug in your phone, your battery reaches a certain amount or the weather changes.

This is a little time consuming but so worth it to get that aesthetic!

Color Widgets

Color Widgets is another app that you can use to get the photos, calendars and battery percentages on your home screen but it doesn't have as many abilities like adding pictures as widgets like Widgetsmith.

Just like Widgetsmith it is free to download and easy to use but in my opinion if you were to only download one, Widgetsmith is the way to go.

VSCO

VSCO

VSCO has been around for a while and is very popular but it is often forgotten when it comes to home screens.

You can always edit, crop, rotate, add grain and do sooo many more things in VSCO to any pictures you take or find on the internet or snag from Pinterest.

This is especially helpful if you want a certain look that requires uniformity or a certain filter or high contrast etc.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
