Fun Tech Toys For The Fall 2016 Semester
University of Texas

Today's technology is so fun to me. Now there are so many different devices and tech gear to help people and keep them entertained for hours.

So, here are some cool tech toys could be helpful for the Fall semester, and that I hope you all will find as cool and interesting as I did.


1. Fitbit Charge HR

Those of you who know me know that I am obsessed with my Fitbit. It's my life. What I really love about it, is just how aware it has made me been of my fitness and how much I am actually doing in a day. If you don't have one yet I seriously suggest looking into getting one. They will change your life.

Price: $120 up depending on where you purchase yours.

2. Chromecast

I'm sure most people have heard of Chromecast, but I just think it's still one of the coolest things ever.

Price: $30


3. Livescribe Pen

When I heard about this pen I nearly lost my mind. It will record lectures, copy what you're writing to your device, and you can even send and share your notes.

Price: $100 and up


4. Bose Wireless Headphones

We all know that Bose is a pricy brand, but it's also one of the best. I always think that owning a quality pair of headphones, especially when you're needing to study, can really come in handy. Maybe one day I will convince myself to purchase a pair of Bose, but for now I'll just keep dreaming.

Price: Depends on the type of headphones

5. Notability App

Notability is a cool app that lets you record your professors words to text, organize and share notes, and more. It's a really great way to help you get take the notes you need for when it comes time for studying.

Price: $7.99 on iTunes


6. My Little Steamer

Okay, don't laugh. I know this isn't SUPER high tech, but it's probably one of the best "tech" things I own. The name basically says it all. It's a little steamer that you can literally take anywhere. It's so perfect when you're in a hurry or don't have a lot of space to put an ironing board. You might judge now, but you'll thank me later.

Price: $19.99

7. Ruggie

I thought this was awesome. Mostly, because I know that there is no way I would be able to sleep in if bought this. It's an alarm clock that makes you step on it in order for the alarm to stop ringing, and will even reward you with motivation to get out of bed. Ruggie is on Kickstarter, but I'm pretty sure will be making it's way around the houses of America very soon.

Price: The retail price is $99

AI music threatens creativity

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
