[motvational]

I used to get so overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information i had to remember for exams in school!!! Endless dates and names in history, formulas in maths, essay points for psychology, the list goes on! Here are the tips i use myself to help you retain all those facts and figures you need to remember - that have all been scientifically proven to help! ❤️

Hello! Here are my top 10 free apps that I’ve used for years that have helped me tons! From organization to study helping apps! 

1.ScannerApp: Scanner PDF Document

I use this app almost everyday, I have a lot of written notes that I want to have on my phone o iPad so I can revise them later while I’m on the go or away from my desk, especially when I don’t want to carry my written notes with me all day. So I use this scanner app to scan them and send them through dropbox to all of my devices.

It’s very easy to use and your scanned document can be shared very easily to a bunch of other apps such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Mail, or you can print them or save them as pdf or jpg documents, whatever your heart desires.

2.Evernote

This is the BEST note taking app I’ve encountered so far, honestly, It has everything I need and it’s very easy to use.

The best part of this app for me is the organizational aspect, I label every note I take and put them in a labeled file,  the search tool is super effective, you can search from all the notes you’ve taken or from a specific note, in this app you can do typed notes as well as handwriting notes (great for iPad users) and the search tool can also search from your handwriting notes.

The simple interface and the little extra tools it provides makes Evernote a great note taking app in my opinion.

It also has a document scanner and a voice recording option!

3.PDF Pro 3

This app is awesome for people that read and study from books in PDF, this app not only stores your pdf books or documents but lets you highlight text, write on the document, draw, add images, underline text and much more!

Since printed books are extremely expensive, I have a lot of PDF books and this app lets me study from them, take little notes on the side, resize the text, search specific words on it and even share the documents all across my devices through dropbox or Google Drive.

4.Google Drive

Kind of a no brainer here, this one in my opinion is the best “storage” app out there, it links with all my devices like a pro and it gives you 15GB of free space (which is a lot for being free), easy to use, easy to organize files and very quick to upload and download files.

5.Flash Cards+ (by Chegg)

Very self explanatory, we all know that carrying around 50+ paper flashcards in your bag is very messy and they get wrinkled in no time, so I usually use a flash card maker like this one, very simple interface, easy to use, you can organize your cards based on subjects, add images and it has an audio option (great if you are studying a new language)  it’s great for quizzing yourself while you wait in line at a Starbucks.

6.Wikiplus

Every professor says that Wikipedia is not a reliable source, so don’t use this as a source in your thesis!

But wikipedia has honestly saved me a few times, whenever I’m not too sure of a concept, so this app makes it even faster to search on wikipedia.

Wikipanion is also very similar but it’s only for Ipad

7.Wunderlist

If you are like me and only make checklists, this is the app for you.

This app is great to make quick to-do lists, you can also add notes, reminders, set due dates, you can also share your lists with the rest of your devices or with other people.

Very easy to use and it also has a widget feature for easy access to it!

8.Day One Journal

If you are a person that likes writing everything down, from what you ate for breakfast to the things that made you smile that day this app is for you, I find it very hard to have a paper journal, so this app is great for me!

You can add pictures, it has templates you can follow, search based on location, look at your personal feed of all your journal entries, it has a calendar where you can track different subjects you’ve added and if you pay you can have you journal printed how cool is that!

9.LastPass: Password Manager

Let’s be real, we don’t have time to remember every password of every social media platform we have, so this app is great for keeping your password, it has touch ID, have a Chrome extension, easy to use, and it also comes up with passwords for you as well as autofill!

10.Headspace

This isn’t an organizational/ utility app, its a guided meditation app, which I think its one of the best out there, we all know that college can be very stressful and sometimes we forget to take a few minutes to just relax.

This app helps you when you are having a stressful situation or have sleeping problems, it tracks all your meditation and it also has a mini mediation session which is around 3 minutes for those days that you are packed with things to do.

TA-DA! Those are my Top 10 Free apps that I use on a regular basis, I hope you check them out and hopefully they will help you as much as they have helped me.

If you have any questions, want a more detailed description on any of these don’t hesitate to ask me or if you have a free app that has made your life 100 times easier, please, send me the link so I can check it out!

Much Love,

Julie <3

Hi friends! Today I’ll be sharing with you a list of apps that I’ve found useful in my life as a student. I’m currently in my second week at community college and adjusting to that #collegelife. A lot of these apps are helpful for both high school and college students while some pertain to living on campus/ meeting new people. This is not a comprehensive list by any means, but I hope you find some new apps that may have some purpose for you!

Academic

Forest-

an app a lot of you probably already know about, forest allows you to set a timer for long you want to be productive and stay off your phone. In that time, a tree grows and is placed in your digital forest. If you go into another app during the time, however, the tree will die :(

Duolingo

- a well-known language learning app, duolingo is simple to use and focuses on words and sentence structure in your target language.

Memrise-

similar to duolingo, but has a larger database of words and generally more to it. try both out to see which you like more!

Quizlet-

a classic/ essential! create notecards and use a variety of methods to study them. my favorite part is that you can input your next test date and it will create a study plan for you and remind you to keep revising until you’ve mastered all the concepts.

I would also recommend downloading the app for whatever your school’s online learning platform is (if you use one). It’s so helpful to be able to quickly check what assignments you have due, check grades, and message your instructors right from your phone.

Health

Cronometer- a simple and very comprehensive food tracker that has every food you can think of and shows you every macro and micronutrient you’ve consumed. it is important to make sure you’re consuming the proper amount of nutrients and this is the only app i’ve found that is free and shows you everything. there is also a place to log your weight and other biometrics and see trends over time.

Lifesum- another food tracker that gives tips on how to be healthier. beautiful interface and easy to use, although more in depth features require a membership.

MC- my cycles is a period tracker that allows you to input your flow, symptoms, mood, and any medications to effectively track your period with a simple and beautiful interface.

Foodstand- a great app for tracking nutrition, fitness, and water intake goals. all you have to do is draw a checkmark on the screen every time you’ve taken a step towards your selected goal!

Stop, breathe, and think- a fantastic meditation app! Input how you are feeling mentally and physically and the app will generate a list of guided meditations for you to choose from.

Sworkit- strength, cardio, flexibility, and yoga workouts, many of which don’t require equipment and are dorm friendly. you can even customize your own workout with your favorite moves!

Waterminder- water and liquid tracker, there’s all there is to it!

LaLa Lunchbox- this app is geared towards little kids but it allows you to create a meal plan and put foods from each category into your “lunchbox” to create an easy and healthy meal. depending on what foods you select for the week, the app generates a shopping list as well! this is so important to me since i commute and there is nowhere on campus to buy food.

Sleep

Sleeptown- from the same developers as forest, you input your bedtime and wake up time and leave the app open while you sleep (your phone can be turned off). while you sleep, a building is constructed and added to your town. if you go to bed too late or go on your phone, the building is destroyed. it has an alarm in app and helps to develop a consistent sleep schedule.

Carrot Alarm- this app was KEY for me back when i had trouble waking up in the mornings. basically, the AI robot screams at you and forces you to perform certain tasks in order to turn the alarm off. I wouldn’t recommend if you live in a dorm unless your roommate is on board.

Sleep Time- a sleep tracker that monitors your breathing and movement to determine the best time to wake you up so you don’t feel groggy in the morning.

Social

Heyy- this is such a fun app for when you’re making connections with a ton of new people. Input any contact information and social medias into the app and when you meet someone, you select which information to share with them via airdrop. makes meeting new people so much easier!

Spaceteam- a fun game that requires multiple people to safely guide a spaceship through the galaxy. great for in the dorms when you and your friends want something silly to do, also great for making new friends!

1 Second Everyday- simply film one second of video everyday and the app compiles them into a single video so you can look back on all you did in the year.

Lifestyle

Productive- to do list and habit tracker with a simple and modern interface.

Thinglist- one list for all your tv shows, books, places, and other bucket list items.

Pinterest- find links and photos for studyspo, study tips, life hacks, style ideas, recipes, and sooo much more! you can organize them into “boards” so you can always find what you’re looking for.

Daily Budget- input your weekly income (or how much money you’ll allow yourself to spend in a week) and the app divides it among the days in the week. whenever you spend money the app deducts from that day (and the next if you spend too much) and any money you have left carries over to the next day.

Starbucks- the Starbucks app is great because it allows you to digitalize your gold card (spend $75 and get a free drink or food item) and gift cards, place mobile orders, and partake in challenges to earn more rewards.

Other

Youtube- pretty self-explanatory, but you can find so many tips for school, life, health, etc. on youtube!

Google Photos- free up phone space by automatically backing up all of your photos online.

Spotify- find and create playlists for any mood, including sleeping or studying. the free version works great but premium membership is only $5/month for students!

Netflix- obviously.

There you have it, the apps I can’t live without! I hope you find them helpful! Study hard!

Offline Apps for Everyday Use

No one wants to ruin their day with disorganized plans and unfinished business. So let's get started! I found some applications in Google Play Store that will help you manage your schedule and finish your tasks on time. I also added apps that will take care of your mental health after countless hours of studying and working. These apps are free and work even if you're offline.

5 handy android apps for work, school, and personal use

TASKITO: Task Manager & To-Do List with Reminder

Taskito is good for reminding you of your tasks, important events, projects, and deadlines. When you add a specific task, you can attach there the date and time, set a reminder, add a checklist, and assign tags. You can also add repeating and unplanned tasks. Taskito comes with a free and premium version. Of course with the premium version, you can use all the features of the app like importing your calendars and more customization of the app. However, the free version of it is excellent too. I tried using the free version of it only to find out that you can already do many things even if it is free.

NABI - My Schedule Assistant

NABI is just like Taskito but it offers other features like you can create memos and monitor your income and expenses. The app itself has a cute and neat interface so it will definitely motivate you to write more and organize your plans. You can also attach images, cute stickers, drawings, location, and URL links in your memo, design your calendar with free stickers, and set alarms on your schedules. Just like the other apps, the free version of NABI only offers some of the features compared to its premium version. But the features I mentioned above are included in the free version.

POMODORO TIMER

Pomodoro Timer is recommended for those who want to manage their study time effectively. The app lets you control the duration of your time as well as your breaks. It is also inclined with different color themes, sound themes, and other features. It is very helpful especially if you want to distribute your time equally to your tasks and finish them on time. I personally use this app whenever I am studying or reviewing for tests and exams because it makes me use my time effectively.

AVOCATION - Habit Tracker & Routine Planner

Avocation is an app that allows you to track your habits. I personally recommend this one especially if you're someone who wants to start or develop a habit. For the free version, you can only create up to 5 habits however, if you would like to add some more, you can avail its paid version. It is a cute app for me because by completing your habits, you can grow your own plant. Another feature of Avocation is it includes some lessons for you to read on about habit development and provide some tips on how those habits can benefit you.

MOOD DIARY-Your Mind Journal

An app that records your daily mood. It uses emoticons with different moods to help you express your feelings at the moment. Every day, it lets you record the weather, your mood, your activity, and your thoughts. You can also access your mood data, of how your emotions changed weekly or monthly. Lastly, you can also add a password for your privacy. I like this app because of its simplicity and neatness, but most importantly, it helps to release your emotions and thoughts. Mood Diary is a great companion in this tough and sad world.
