There just simply aren't enough hours in the day anymore. Between classes, and work, and homework, and studying, and trying to maintain some semblance of a social life, and the obligatory sleep that the human body requires to perform its most basic functions, I can't afford pointless hiccups in my day that could have been avoided. From a nightly sound-based analysis that helps me sleep better at night to a cute, little garden of flowers reminding me to stay hydrated, here are the apps I've found make my busy days a little easier and more bearable.

1. Nike Training Club

This app, run and created by Nike, offers a variety of workouts at all levels of difficulty. Plus, you can adjust your workouts to your schedule--some are only 5 minutes long! My personal favorite feature of the app? You can personalize and create your own workout plan where you pick how often you work out and for how long, as well as the difficulty you're comfortable with.

2. Headspace: Meditation

This guided meditation app takes you step by step through the whole process of learning to meditate and practice mindfulness in your daily life. Favorite feature: the "leader" who guides you through meditation has a really soothing voice that makes the sometimes daunting task seem approachable.

3. MyFitnessPal

This is a popular app due to its precise tracking abilities. You can log the food you eat, your step count, and any other exercise you take part in, and the app tracks it to help you find your ideal state of fitness and nutritional well-being. While many people use the app for weight loss, in my personal experience I found that it was really helpful in helping me gain and maintain weight after a surgery. Plus it can be linked with your apple health data!

4. Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock

This app lets you plug in the exact time you have to wake up so that you can plan accordingly to wake up at the right point in your sleep cycle. One of the things this app taught me is that certain stages of the sleep cycle are more difficult to come out of, and if you wake yourself up in one such time, you can end up feeling groggy and off-kilter all day.

5. Sleep Better: Sleep Cycle App

To go with your sleep cycle alarm app, download this tracker too! You just place your phone next to your bed at night, and the microphone tracks your movements to evaluate when you're in REM sleep. The app does work while your phone is charging, but you do have to allow microphone access.

6. Plant Nanny

This app is your daily friendly reminder to stay hydrated! Every time you drink a cup of water, you water your plant in the app and make your garden grow!

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:

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.
