Help Create A Weather App That Everyone Needs
Avtech

Often a time, I look at the weather forecast and see what the temperature for that day entails. However, upon finishing getting ready and venturing out the door, I am awestruck with a completely different feel than what I expected. I mean even today, a regular Thursday, I looked at the forecast and it said high 40's... so like any normal New Englander, I put on some pants and a light jacket. The flaw in this decision wasn't necessarily the temperature though, it had everything to do with the wind, which was extremely powerful and almost unbearably cold. Long story short, I looked at the weather and was misguided as to how I could properly prepare myself for the day. So, where am I going with this?

Alright, my group from class and I are creating an app based on the relationship between the weather forecast and what people should wear. We want to ensure everyday users that our suggestions of what to put on for the day are on point and in relation to the latest trends. We have two versions: one tailored for the public which is free and the second targeted towards those that are willing to pay under a dollar for premium features.

The overall function of this app is to give a detailed weather forecast along with an outfit that guides the user with what to wear, depending on climate, wind chill, precipitation, etc. Of course the app is not yet ready, but we hope to work with clothing companies to have a display of their clothes. Anyhow, this is public version of the app. If there are any comments or ideas that you have or would possibly like in order to make the app better, we are more than willing to take them.

Within the app, there will be advertisements offering for the premium version, or upgrade. What we plan to do with this is link our already existing clothing companies into your personalized account. That being said, you will be able to customize your style be selecting outifts and types of clothes that you enjoy. Upon doing so, our app will generate a customized "closet" for you. So let's say you see an outifit you absolutely love from American Eagle: you will then have the opportunity to select the items you want, such as a cute romper for a hot summer day, and it will automatically give you access to deals for that particular store. Keep in mind that these deals are from our app, not store discounts. Furthermore, the upgrade will hopefully parnter with snapchat so that you and other friends can upload your outfits onto both apps just to see what others are wearing. Of course, the app is not yet finished, but we ask that if you have any suggestions or ideas of interest, let us know! We are eager to find out whether there would be a vast amount of users or not.

Thank you so much! My group and I are excited to hear from you!

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.
