5 Must Have Tech Items For The Student Heading Back To College
Andrew Neel

It's coming down to that part of the summer again, where you start packing up again to start heading back to college. But don't leave your house without these 5 must have tech items!

1. Cellphone Wallet Case

This is an amazing investment. Let's be honest, you don't leave your phone anywhere, but you often find yourself forgetting your wallet behind. This case doubles as a phone case, and a wallet, so that you always have everything that you need with you.

You can buy it on Amazon for 12.99

2. Anker Portable Powerbank


A power bank is something that you always want to have on hand as a college student. This one is for those times when all of the outlets you find seemed to be in use, and you just need to charge your phone so you can keep studying quizlet.

Buy this Anker Powerbank on Amazon for 25.99

3. Lapdesk

A small lap desk is a must have. This will come in handy when you just want to lay in bed and do your homework rather than sit in the uncomfortable chair by your desk. You can set your laptop on it, your chem books, or even your dinner.

Buy this Lapgear Lapdesk for 16.99 here

4. A Bluetooth speaker

Everyone wants to hear some music, and whether it's in your dorm, or at a party, a Bluetooth speaker will do the trick. You don't have to fumble with any wires, and anyone can connect to it.

Buy this 808 HEX TL Wireless Speaker on Amazon for 79.99

5. A Smartwatch

A smartwatch is not only a piece of tech but also a fashion accessory. The watch works with your phone, so if you have an iPhone, you will want to lean towards The Apple Watch, and if you have an Android device, you might want to lean more towards the Samsung Gear 3. Not only do these devices track your activity and steps, but you can also make phone calls, and text messages from them.

Buy the Apple Watch on Amazon for 295.93
or
Buy The Samsung Gear 3 on amazon for 320.44

Oh, and one last thing, don't forget to use your free trial of Amazon prime! Nothing is better than free 2-day shipping. Happy shopping!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
