7 Must-Have Apps For 2016

New year, new apps, right? If you're anything like me, your phone is probably clogged up with old apps you haven't even opened in months. This inevitably slows down your phone, causes you anxiety, and ruins your life. OK, maybe it doesn't ruin your life but wouldn't things be so much easier with a cleaner, faster phone pimped out with these awesome apps?

WARNING: You may fall in love with these apps, download at your own risk.

1. Mint

Whether you're a college student or recent graduate saving money is most likely a top priority. This app helps you not only manage your money but what you spend your money on.

2. CUPS

I haven't actually downloaded this app yet, but my roommate won't stop talking about it, so it must be all that and a bag of chips. This app supports locally owned coffee shops partnering with them to provide you with a database of awesome Instagram-worthy cafes.

The best part is that they screen the coffee shops first and make sure they're good. But wait there's more, it also saves you money! You pre-pay for the "cups" you buy and can get anything you want in that cup! Your first cup is free and if you recommend it to a friend, you get credit for even more free coffee! Can you say coffee, coffee, buzz, buzz?

3. MyFitnessPal

If you don't have this app by now, you're doing it wrong. This app helps monitor your diet and exercise while giving you a fitness guideline.

4. The Skimm

This isn't quite an app but a must-have! It's a morning newsletter sent to your email first thing in the morning. It consists of all the big happenings in the headlines for the day, but makes it easier to understand and more fun to read.

5. Moments

Have you ever taken pictures on a friends phone but had to wait days to get the photos from them? Not anymore! This app has a "ask friends for photos" button as a gentle reminder until they finally send them. It allows you to store your photos on here, without clogging up your phone. Create albums with friends based on events by easily sharing large amounts of pictures with individuals or groups while keeping them private. You can like, comment, request or post photos, and even thank others for sharing.

6. Around Me

Ten times better than Siri... Siri(ously). This app allows you to find whatever it is you may be looking for (bars, clubs, concerts, parks, restaurants, gas stations, and more). It shows you the proximity, rankings, reviews, and other information to help you decide where to go.

7. Starbucks

Call me basic but Starbucks app is one of the best things that ever happened to my break at work. I can order and pay for Starbucks on my app and then just pick it up at the counter when I get there! No lines, no waiting, no worries.

Well, there you have it, folks. Some fresh new apps to clog your recently de-cluttered phone with! You're welcome.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
