With finals week just around the corner, it’s time to find inventive ways to put off studying. And where else to find distractions than the App Store: no movement required!
We all know about Facebook and Instagram, but sometimes we need a break from the status quo. Check out these hot new apps that are taking our screens by storm:
Candy Crush: Soda Saga

Candy Crush was one hell of an addictive game, but forget about that! Meet Soda Saga, Candy Crush’s hot, updated, younger sister.
With better graphics and more compelling levels, crushing candy has never been better. You know what they say: “Once you go Soda Saga, every else will seem like GaGa.”
Trivia Crack

For those of you that live for random facts (did you know that Cookie Monster’s original name was Sid?), Trivia Crack is the game for you! Play your friend or randoms, as you spin the category wheel and answer questions that fall under Art, Entertainment, History, Geography, Science and Sports. The aim of the game is to get more category crowns than your opponent. Crack may be whack, but Trivia Crack sure isn’t!
Coffee Meets Bagel

Finals got you feeling lonely? Can’t seem to find “the one” on campus? Don’t like the superficiality of Tinder but are too lazy to make a full OKCupid profile? Then Coffee Meets Bagel is the app for you! You make a short, but somewhat insightful, profile (height included!!) and you get one “bagel” (or should I say bae-gel) per day. If they like you too, then HUZZAH you’re connected. You then have seven days to get to know your bagel before the chat room closes.
With the time pressure and the limited number of matches you can have at once, conversations tend to be longer and more productive. No bae, no problem; no bae-gel, yes problem.
Netflix

It’s an app, enough said.
So get downloading, and make your “study breaks” more refreshing! Good luck on finals ;)
