It's time to start the second semester and if you struggled last fall it is time to recuperate and redeem yourself. In order to help you get organized and ready to conquer this semester, I devised a list of the top Apps to help you out.

1. Quizlet. The most incredible study tool around. You can create flashcards, practice them in a game and quiz yourself on the topics. You can even find some study sets that have already been created at your university to make life a little easier.

2. Spotify. If you're anything like me, music is one of your best friends and an essential studying tool. Spotify offers a student discount so you can get all the music you want with no ads, and offline listening for $4.99 a month. It might seem like a lot for some but for music addicts, it's a small price to pay for unlimited music.

3. ALL the Google Apps. Whether its Google Drive, Docs, Slides or Gmail, these apps are so helpful to have. You can have them to double check on class info or even finish up a paper on the go.

4. Blackboard. Even though it seems like only one of your classes actually utilizes blackboard, it is a nice app to have from time to time. You can quickly check the announcements for any last minute class information and even check your grades as soon as they are posted.

5. Pinterest. This app some in handy when you have a break in classes or time to kill. You can only refresh other social media so many times but with Pinterest, it is never ending. Find some new ways to organize things, some easy DIY's or just spend your time on it daydreaming.

6. Khan Academy. Another app to help you study, Khan Academy has about anything you need for any course you take. They have videos and practice questions to help you master any subject.

7. Amazon. Another app that offers a student discount that gives free two day shipping. This is a great app to have to check on orders and quickly order anything you need.

8. Your bank/ Mint. Having the app for your bank (if it is available) is helpful just to keep up on how much you have and how much you've saved. Along with this, Mint is a very useful tool that you can sink up with your bank accounts and use it to budget your money. It tracks what you spend your money on and allows you to set a budget on those top things you spend your money on.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
