Useful Apps You Probably Don't Know About

Shyp

Who has the time, patience, and energy to lug the items you need to ship to the post office and wait on the miserably long lines anymore? Shyp, only available in San Francisco, New York, Miami and Los Angeles, is the Uber of sending packages. By the click of a button, a Shyp representative will arrive at your location with a box and the proper skills (and speed) to pack anything you wish.

Myscript Calculator

Have you ever wished you could just write a math problem in your notebook and the result would immediately appear? Myscript Calculator realizes the inconvenience of punching in numbers to a calculator. This app converts your own hand-writing into answers! Math homework just got so much easier.

One Receipt

The only thing harder than climbing Mount Everest is keeping track of receipts. Whether you crumple it up right when it's handed it to you because you know it'll disappear in seconds, or you keep it in the bag with every intention of saving it; receipts just vanish into thin air. This app allows you to take a picture of each receipt you receive and have it magically appear in electronic form. In addition, it emails you once a month with your monthly expenses based on the totals. Ladies, you might want to make sure your husbands don't have access to your emails; it could get ugly.

Heard

Ever had a conversation with someone and wish so badly you recorded it? As long as you have your phone on you, Heard is running constantly in case you need to replay something that was just said. The free version records the most recent minute and the upgraded version records the most recent five minutes. By this point in time, we've all realized our brains aren't capable of memorizing everything we're told. Heard to the rescue!

Breaking News

Scrolling through news apps can get pretty frustrating when you can't find anything you're interested in. Breaking News gives you exactly what you want to hear. Do you only care about Justin Bieber and the Giants? Well then, so do they. Breaking News tailors your feed to what you want to see, and nothing extra.

Vent

Is there something you've been keeping it because you're too embarrassed to say it? Vent allows you to anonymously get whatever is bothering you off your chest without feeling judged or humiliated. Vent users feel comfortable to voice their opinions, whether they're opening up about themselves or helping someone else out. Vent is a community; everyone supports each other.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
