Top 5 Apps You Need for Finals

Technology and our phones have become such a huge part of our generation that it’s almost crazy for us to not have apps to help us along the way. Finals is a very stressful time, but with a quick tap of your screen help and a stress relief are right there for you. Here are my top five app picks that will get you through this semester’s finals.

App 1: Banking App

As finals approach, we tend to buy things on impulse. And while our brain and heart might be saying “spend, spend, spend!!!!” our bank accounts are not! Most banks come with a banking app where you can conveniently check your balance, deposit money and make payments. You could even ask your parents to transfer a few dollars during this stressful time!

App 2: Pandora

Music is an amazing stress reliever. When you feel yourself getting anxious and stress levels start to rise, get on Pandora; choose your favorite artist and jam out. It could also be helpful for some people to listen to music while they study; a station suggestion is “Instrumental Hip Hop” (my personal fave).

App 3: EverNote

You know how we like to take pictures of notes and PowerPoints given in class, well EverNote can help store all of that in one app. All of your notes for your courses can be stored in an organized way through this app. It’s much more convenient than hopping from photos to notes on your iPhone.

App 4: Clear

Setting reminders and listing your “to-dos” by priority is very helpful during finals. Clear allows for you to do just that. You could even categorize the things you need to do, for example: school, work, and groceries. Everything is laid out in a clear manner, get it! Lol

App 5: Wolfram Alpha

Ever wanted help but it was too late and all your friends were sleeping peacefully while you endure a crazy panic attack? That’s not an issue when you use the app Wolfram Alpha. It offers help in all subject courses, and even helps you find sources to research. It’s the greatest lifesaver ever, trust me!

Good luck on your finals, Owls!
