Say goodbye to heavy notebooks and binders.

What’s On My iPad: College Edition

I recently bought an iPad for college and instantly fell in love with it's simplicity and power. I will never go back to regular notebooks and paper.

Before we start, let’s go over what iPad I bought and why I chose that one.

iPad 7th Generation and Apple Pencil 1st Generation

Personally, I prefer the iPad over the iPad Mini and iPad Pro. I like it better than the iPad Mini because the original iPad is the size of a piece of paper, which is convenient when taking notes. I think the iPad Mini would be too small. I like the iPad 7th generation better than the iPad Pro because it is wayyyy cheaper and it does everything I need to do as a college student. I think the iPad Pro is unnecessary for a college student.

Notability

Ginger Labs

I absolutely LOVE Notability. This app allows me to write my notes without using a hundred pieces of paper. A cool feature that I love is how you can upload documents and write directly on them. This is perfect for taking notes on a professor’s slide show or marking notes on a syllabus. This app saves me so much paper and headache.

MyHomework

myHomework

THIS APP! Oh my goodness, I would be lost without this app. MyHomework allows you to put in all your classes (professor, time, building, room, etc) and see your schedule at a glance on the in-app calendar. You can also add homework assignments, due dates, tests, and much more to the calendar. This app is so so handy for keeping track of assignments and staying motivated.

Procreate

Procreate

This app isn’t really meant for college, but I do love using it, especially for anatomy classes. Procreate is an app where you can draw and design things. It is handy when you want to draw graphics or other things you may need to for class.

Google Drive and Associated Apps

This is a given. I couldn’t go through college without Google Drive. I also have Docs and Sheets on my iPad so I can edit documents.

GroupMe

GroupMe

I feel like every college student is in at least one GroupMe chat. I find it convenient to have it on your iPad as well that way you can keep up with conversations in class without pulling out your phone and disturbing people.

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.

You can throw your responsibilities for a day, use your one skip in that class you hate, receive kind cards and gifts from loved ones and just enjoy yourself.
