Dang it! I’m late for my 8 o’clock class, again! When was I suppose to go to that meeting? Ugh! It’s 2 a.m., and I ran out of flashcards. As college students, we are always on some type of tech device. Whether it be our phones, our Apple watches, or our tablets, we always have some kind of hand held device in our possession. Our technology can sometimes take up so much of our time that we “forget” to study or simply don’t know when to put our phones down. Here’s some apps that will definitely help your college life much, much easier.
