People spend countless hours staring at their phones, scrolling their news feeds, playing candy crush or watching videos. But who’s to say that your phone can’t stop you from also living a happier and healthier life? These apps for your smartphone are sure to pass the test for taking up that precious storage space.

This is the app that can do it all. Not only does it track your workouts, but it keeps track of your health and everything you eat. The app has a huge (over 6 million) database of foods to help you track your diet. Whether you type in the food or scan it by the barcode, entering your daily calories is easier than ever. If you’re trying to lose weight or bulk up, My Fitness Pal determines the amount of calories you need and the exercise you need to reach your goal. It’s easy to see why this is one of the most popular fitness and health apps.

You’re able to customize the program you do to fit exactly what you need, all while sharing your progress with others as an added challenge. The Nike+ app will have you feeling like a better you in no time.

Meditation studio

Getting into meditation isn’t easy, and with so many different types of guided meditation it can be hard to find exactly what works for you. Instead of just trying a random app, Meditation Studio offers so much to fit exactly what you need. If you’re feeling stressed, happy, or sad, this app will fit all of your moods. Even though it costs $2.99 for the download, you won’t complain when you get over 150 meditations to work your way through.

Yoga Wakeup

Waking for the day can be a little difficult at times, but incorporating yoga into your daily routine can make mornings way more bearable. Adding yoga into your routine just became a lot easier with this app, offering 10 minute classes that range anywhere from guided meditation to holding different poses. Don’t stop drinking your morning coffee, just add in a little bit of yoga to make the day better.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
