What’s On My iPad: College Edition

I recently bought an iPad for college and instantly fell in love with it's simplicity and power. I will never go back to regular notebooks and paper.

Before we start, let’s go over what iPad I bought and why I chose that one.

iPad 7th Generation and Apple Pencil 1st Generation

Personally, I prefer the iPad over the iPad Mini and iPad Pro. I like it better than the iPad Mini because the original iPad is the size of a piece of paper, which is convenient when taking notes. I think the iPad Mini would be too small. I like the iPad 7th generation better than the iPad Pro because it is wayyyy cheaper and it does everything I need to do as a college student. I think the iPad Pro is unnecessary for a college student.

Notability

Ginger Labs

I absolutely LOVE Notability. This app allows me to write my notes without using a hundred pieces of paper. A cool feature that I love is how you can upload documents and write directly on them. This is perfect for taking notes on a professor’s slide show or marking notes on a syllabus. This app saves me so much paper and headache.

MyHomework

myHomework

THIS APP! Oh my goodness, I would be lost without this app. MyHomework allows you to put in all your classes (professor, time, building, room, etc) and see your schedule at a glance on the in-app calendar. You can also add homework assignments, due dates, tests, and much more to the calendar. This app is so so handy for keeping track of assignments and staying motivated.

Procreate

Procreate

This app isn’t really meant for college, but I do love using it, especially for anatomy classes. Procreate is an app where you can draw and design things. It is handy when you want to draw graphics or other things you may need to for class.

Google Drive and Associated Apps

This is a given. I couldn’t go through college without Google Drive. I also have Docs and Sheets on my iPad so I can edit documents.

GroupMe

GroupMe

I feel like every college student is in at least one GroupMe chat. I find it convenient to have it on your iPad as well that way you can keep up with conversations in class without pulling out your phone and disturbing people.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
