It is essential to stay organized in college for your academics, as well as your social life. Otherwise, you’ll get swamped with work and perhaps even see your grades suffer. Throughout my college career, I have used different apps to aid me in the process of doing homework, studying for exams, and so on. Download the following apps to stay on top of things for the next semester
myHomework
I’ve been using this app ever since I started college and it hasn’t disappointed me yet. I got annoyed with having to read the syllabus for every class whenever I wanted to check my homework for the night. This app allows you to put all of your homework for the semester into it and turn on notifications so you never miss an assignment. You can even input times for you to study if you want to use it as an academic calendar.
Goodreads
None of my friends use this app but I’ve been a loyal follower for as long as I can remember. Goodreads tracks all of the books you read and you can rate them once you input them into the app. I use it to keep track of my personal books as well as the books I’m required to read for school. This way, if a future interviewer asks me what my favorite reading has been in my college experience I have a list ready to pull up.
Quizlet
I’ve used this app since middle school, so chances are you already have it downloaded. However, the best way to use this app is to create group notecard sets that the whole class has access to. This is a step up from sharing notes because the whole class will study the same sets and simultaneously be able to double-check the information.
All Google Apps!
Thankfully, I’ve always been a Google user. I’m writing this article on a Google document, I use Google for my emails, and I upload all my pictures onto Google photos. In college, it’s easiest to share notes and other projects with people if you use a Google account. The ability to easily share information is necessary when you’re put into a group project by your professor.
GoodNotes
This last app is for iPad users only. GoodNotes is a nice app to have if your professor assigns a lot of PDFs for reading but you don’t feel like killing trees to print out every document. The app allows you to highlight online and annotate in the margins. You can sort your readings into folders for each class to stay organized which might be more difficult if you used a paper copy of the PDFs.
