Between papers, club meetings, and God knows what else, the typical day in the life of a college student is absolutely insane. Here are some of my favorite apps that help me stay on top of my life (for the most part):

1. Calendar

I recently started putting every important event and due date in my calendar app and it has made such a difference! You can set multiple reminders so you'll never forget to go to that big meeting or that you have a paper due next week.

2. Spotify

Fun fact: Spotify premium is only $5 a month for college students!! I listen to it while I'm studying, walking to class, working out, eating, etc. Even if you don't have premium, it's still a great app with fewer commercials than most other streaming services.

3. Uber or Lyft

Even if you don't go off campus often, knowing that you always have a way to get back to your dorm lets you enjoy the moment and not worry about catching a shuttle or subway.

4. Venmo or PayPal

Splitting Uber's and taking turns buying food can make paying people back confusing, especially when no one carries cash. Venmo is a great and quick way to pay (and charge) people for those movie tickets or insomnia cookies. PayPal is also great and you can use it on a lot of retail websites so your credit card information is more secure.

5. Mobile Banking

Most major banks have some sort of app that lets you track transactions and see how much money is in your account. I'm terrible at managing money, so being able to monitor my account 24/7 is super helpful.

6. Insomnia

Almost every major city and college town has an Insomnia Cookie. Sometimes you just really need a cookiewich at 2am, with the mobile app you can gets points towards different rewards, and ordering is quicker.

7. University App

Like most universities, Villanova has an app that lets you look at shuttle times, dining hall hours, washing machine availibility, maps, event calendars, etc. If your school has one, it's probably worth downloading.

8. SafeTrek

Even if you're campus is the safest place in the world, it's always good to have some sort of company when you're walking back to your dorm at 1am. When you start walking, you hold your finger on a button and if you take it off and don't enter your pin within a certain amount of time, SafeTrek alerts the local police. It's a great tool for piece of mind.

9. Find Friends

If you and your friends are going out it's nice to be able to know where everyone is. This is also helpful if you're staying on campus but a friend is going out, you can make sure they get back okay.

10. Mobile ID

If your school alows it, I HIGHLY recommend Mobile ID, It allows you to unlock your door from your phone, which is great if you forget your key or ID in the room. It has saved me a few times already.
