If you're one of those people who NEVER has storage space on your phone, maybe you should consider making sure you have enough space for these 'must need' apps every college student should have. Oh yes, they are lifesavers and you will learn that quite soon.

1. Outlook/Yahoo/Gmail

The moment you realize you're a full-fledged college student turning into an adult is the moment you're at a social event checking your email back to back. Yeah, it seems a bit sad, BUT not having your priorities straight is going to hurt you way more than missing that drunken guy make a fool out of himself in the corner. After all, you are at school to study (well most of us lol).

2. Blackboard

If you're not checking your blackboard please check yourself. Professors may not use it all the time, but trust me it is a great resource for some courses you will take in your college career. Also, GRADES ARE POSTED HERE! If you don't care about that GPA then go the other way!

3. GroupMe

CLUBS! The places where you meet people and no, I'm not talking about the music bumping kind, but the extracurricular one. You'll need this to communicate with your peers effectively.

I know you're wondering why iMessage won't work, but put your Android and Samsung biases aside and give GroupMe a chance.

4. Uber

Now we've all been in a position where we've been stuck at a place without a ride home, missed the last bus, or the metro is just on its utter bull crap, but no worries Uber is always to the rescue. You can get safe rides anywhere you want especially when that taxi fare isn't looking too nice.

5. Netflix

Stop thinking what you're thinking ya nasty. You need this app for movie nights with friends and to binge watch the best new shows out. This is definitely a great stress reliever from all of those academics. (Bonus: Some of the documentaries are beneficial to certain courses and are for sure worth the watch).

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.

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.
