Some of these apps you may have never heard of and some of them are very well known but all of them are game-changers when it comes to making an amazing home screen.

Pinterest is an app that you can use to get inspiration, background photos, icons to use as app covers, widget photos, and everything else.

It is truly so underrated and usually skipped over when thinking about updating the home screen. But don't forget about it!

Widgetsmith

Widgetsmith is the key to customizing your lock screen. it is how you get all of those pictures, calendars and slideshows on your home screen. It is also free to download and super easy to use!

Shortcuts

Apple

Shortcuts is automatically downloaded on your phone since it is an Apple app and this is how you get the images on the apps or app covers.

You can use shortcuts to also create automations for Siri to say when you plug in your phone, your battery reaches a certain amount or the weather changes.

This is a little time consuming but so worth it to get that aesthetic!

Color Widgets

Color Widgets is another app that you can use to get the photos, calendars and battery percentages on your home screen but it doesn't have as many abilities like adding pictures as widgets like Widgetsmith.

Just like Widgetsmith it is free to download and easy to use but in my opinion if you were to only download one, Widgetsmith is the way to go.

VSCO

VSCO

VSCO has been around for a while and is very popular but it is often forgotten when it comes to home screens.

You can always edit, crop, rotate, add grain and do sooo many more things in VSCO to any pictures you take or find on the internet or snag from Pinterest.

This is especially helpful if you want a certain look that requires uniformity or a certain filter or high contrast etc.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
