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.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

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
