5 Must-Have Apps To Keep You Sane During Finals Week

Finals week is tough, y'all - none of us can deny it. Whether we've kept up with our classes all semester or haven't cracked a textbook since we bought them, it's time to get our sh*t together. Here are 5 must-have apps to help you study and keep you sane during finals week:


1. Quizlet

Well, this one may seem like a no-brainer if you've ever done school before. Instead of carrying around stacks on stacks (lol) of flashcards, download quizlet to your phone to access them all (for free) on-the-go. At a frat party? No biggie. Whip that phone out of your fanny pack and take a shot - or if we're promoting responsibility here, a sip - for every right answer you get!


2. Google Drive

This is a great app to get when you're trying to study on the go. You can access it from your phone or computer and edit documents like study guides from both. Open this app at dinner (is that rude?), while jogging on the treadmill, or wherever you feel like you can get a little bit of studying in.


3. Evernote

This app is a similar concept to using Google Drive but it's a separate notetaking app in itself where you can take notes directly in the app on your computer and access them anywhere. It also has a great feature where if you have a tablet you can handwrite notes in it!


4. Microsoft OneNote

This is the bomb. I've used OneNote since high school, and again, similar to Google Drive and Evernote, your notes sync up between your devices. This app is unique in the sense that you have actual digital "notebooks" that have sections and pages that you can search. You can also handwrite notes in here with that trusty ThinkPad that you probably never use!


5. GrubHub/Takeout Central

We all need a study break, and what better way to spend that time than stress-eating and feeding our brains? Both Grubhub and Takeout Central will deliver food right to you, any building on campus - and trust me, it's a nice break from the Pit.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
