Being a young adult can be stressful. Juggling your education, jobs, networking, social life, and family life can make you feel a little out of control sometimes. Luckily, we live in a world of technology. We are constantly connected to the world around us and to ample amounts of useful information. Often this reveals itself to us in the form of apps. Instead of loading your phones’ memory with "Angry Birds" and "Candy Crush", download some of these helpful apps in order to feel more organized. It can be a struggle to get your life in order as a young adult, but with the help of these apps you too can feel more put together.

1. EveryDollar

Every Dollar is an awesome, free budgeting tool. It’s got a simple, easy to use interface that makes you WANT to budget your money. Along with having an app, there is also a great website to use if you want to budget out your life on your computer instead of your phone. There are tips, tricks, and challenges to utilize in EveryDollar in order to save more and feel more financially stable.

2. Dropbox

If you’ve ever found yourself in a situation where you didn’t have your laptop to pull up a document, Dropbox is going to be your saving grace. Dropbox allows you to save files on their storage website and access it anywhere, anytime. Even as a free user you get access to a large amount of storage space. The app lets you pull up your files even on the go!

3. Waze

Step aside, Google Maps - Waze is the best GPS app around. Waze is an interactive GPS that allows you to not only have the cutest little icon for your car like cats and hippies, but users can report hazards on the road to alert other motorists of them. Waze will alert you as you’re driving to reported hazards such as potholes, stopped cars, traffic, and even hidden police officers that have been put in by other Waze users. Nothing like a community of drivers looking out for each other to avoid speeding tickets!

4. Happy Hour

Being a twenty-something-year-old usually means there will be booze. Instead of dropping half your paycheck on drinks with friends, use Happy Hour. This app uses geo tracking to find the closest bar offering a happy hour special near you. Say goodbye to over-priced drinks and hello to four dollar margaritas.

5. Venmo

Venmo is a great way to charge your friends over your phone. No more doing out the math on splitting your dinner bill seven ways. Just download Venmo and have your friends set up an account. Now your friends have no excuse to pay you back. They can’t use they “I don’t carry cash” excuse anymore, just use Venmo.

6. My Fitness Pal

My Fitness Pal is great for keeping up a healthier lifestyle. This app is not just an app, but an entire community of people striving to become or stay healthy. You can set your fitness goals, how much you weigh, and how much activity you do in order to determine your daily caloric intake. Then you log your food throughout the day and the app determines how much you have left. It also syncs with your phone to calculate your steps.

7. LinkedIn

If you don’t already have one, for the love of god, make a LinkedIn. This social media platform is a great way to network and grow your connections in your field. Likewise it gets your name out there to potential employers. There’s a wealth of career knowledge on there and having the app allows you to take it with you wherever you go.

8. Clue (For the Ladies)


Part of getting your life together, is getting your cycle together. Clue is the mecca of period planning. Clue lets you log your cycle each month and uses that data to give you an estimate of when you’re ovulating, when you’re due to start and so on. It allows you to not just track your cycle, but also your symptoms like how heavy your flow is, how painful are your cramps, how bloated are you, etc. It also alerts you on the regular to take your birth control!

9. OurGroceries

If you live with roommates, this app will get you all in communication better about groceries. It’s like a communal grocery list. Each user can be connected to it and update it as food is getting low. That way each person in the house can be notified when items need to be picked up. No more arguing with Becky about running out of milk and toilet paper!

10. Dormio

A goodnight’s sleep will make you more productive, alert, and energized throughout the day. Dormio is a great app to get you to sleep better. When you find your brain keeping you up, open Dormio and choose from a wide selection of quiet music, guided meditation, or sounds of nature to lull you to sleep. It also has a timer to determine how long you want it to play so you don’t drain your phone’s battery too much.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
