Five Apps All College Students Should Download

Being the tech-savvy young people that we are, there’s no doubt that our smartphones are filled with many different apps. As well as being smooth with technology, we college students are known for being resourceful. You can make your life much easier with the right apps on your phone this semester and many in the future. Read the list below and start downloading!

1. Square Cash

Square Cash is an app created for sharing money. If you want to pull money together for a party, all you have to do is sync your card to the app and push send. It will all go to your bank account and all of a sudden you have plenty of money for cheap Natty Light. This is also very useful for paying bills between you and all of your roommates without trying to write checks and collecting cash.

2. Any.do

This is a basic application for a to-do list but it is silky smooth in operation, making it easy to stay productive throughout the day. If you turn on your push notifications, you will be reminded throughout the day that you have tasks that you wanted to have completed.

3. Rate My Professor

We all hate sitting in a lecture with an extremely boring professor, so why not prevent that by checking out what others have to say about them? That’s exactly what Rate My Professor is all about. You will be warned about the hard exams and harsh grading scales as well as the nice professors who will take their time to help you succeed. There’s even a red hot pepper symbol next to some of the names to let you know if the professor in question is attractive or not. Before you schedule next semester’s classes, make sure you check out Rate My Professor.

4. Mixologist

OK, if you don’t drink then you wouldn’t need to download this app. But, according to the numbers, most of you will like this. Mixologist teaches you how to be your own bartender. With plenty of categories of drinks, you can impress your friends with new combinations for any occasion. Plus, it’s a lot of fun to try new drinks as well. Get to mixin’ with Mixologist for your next party.

5. Pocket Points

Pocket Points is a great way to pay attention in class while being rewarded for doing so. The idea of it is simple. You get “pocket points” for having your phone locked in class and not using it. In return, these points can be used at local restaurants that participate in the use of the app. The downfall of the app is that it hasn’t spread to all colleges yet. It’s worth a download if you can find your school!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
