Facebook and Instagram get boring after a while, so I headed to the App Store to find some other, more useful apps. I have all of the apps on this list downloaded onto my phone and I use each one of them basically everyday. I’ve included every kind of app from shopping to health and wellness, and I’m pretty sure you need these apps in your life.

1. Amazon

If you are anything like me, adding unnecessary things into your cart on Amazon is an obsession. With the app, you can order anything you want with one click. The Fed-Ex person will probably be dropping stuff off at your door every other day.

2. Starbucks

Listen up, coffee-lovers. You are missing out if you don’t have the Starbucks app because you can earn free drinks. That’s right, all you have to do is buy a Starbucks gift card and connect it to the app. Then every time you scan the barcode on your phone to pay, you get points that add up to a free food or drink reward!

3. Daily Horoscope

I believe in astrology and I like to think this app predicts my life everyday. There’s a lot that this horoscope app has to offer. You can read about your personality traits and how your astrology sign deals with areas like family, work and love.

It even calculates your compatibility with other signs. Whether or not you believe it is up to you, but I think it is interesting and I love reading it every day and seeing how accurate it is.

4. Target

Who else goes into Target with the intention of buying 2 necessary things then leaves with 2 swimsuits, a desk, and 6 candles? It happens to all of us, but if you have the app downloaded you can find coupons for all of that stuff!

You can save coupons for hundreds of items in the store while you are shopping around for all of those really cute things you don’t need.

5. A news app

You have to stay informed in this day and age. Luckily, it is really easy to if you have an app that sends you the most important headlines of the day.

Download whatever your favorite news outlet is, and if you really want to be “woke,” search for your local news stations app to be in the know about the action in your neck of the woods.

6. Duolingo

I find this app so amazing and it’s one of my favorite apps on my phone. With Duolingo, you can learn a new language. It feels kind of like you’re playing a game, but you’re actually learning to read and speak any language you want. It takes time and dedication, but it makes traveling abroad a lot easier.

7. AccuWeather

The weather app that comes already on your iPhone just doesn’t cut it. AccuWeather gives you so much more in-depth information about the weather.

For example, it tells you minute by minute when the rain will start and if it will be light drizzles or heavy downpours. This app also gives you updates about weather threats like snow storms or tropical storms.

8. Headspace

It’s kind of ironic to have a meditation app on your phone because phones are anything but calming. But this app is so important to try out because it trains you on clearing your mind and eliminating stress.

It only takes 5-10 minutes and it feels great to de-clutter your thoughts. Plus, the voice that guides your mediation has a British accent and it is so soothing!

9. Sworkit

I heard about Sworkit on one of my favorite shows, Shark Tank, and I’m not sure if anyone invested in the app, but I downloaded it out of curiosity and I love it! Sworkit is a app for working out and it gives you exercise circuits for yoga, strength training, cardio, and stretching.

It works for anyone and everyone because it gives you video tutorials on how to do the exercises correctly and you don’t even need to go to the gym, just a open space!

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
