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

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
