Apps To Have In College

Apps and social media are a key tool in the everyday life for our generation, especially while attending college. This ranges from meeting new people, staying organized, and finding the best deals.  

Every college kid is on a budget but also trying to avoid the ramen diet that’s why a daily app I use is “Hooked”. This app has new food deals popping up every hour from every different restaurant. What’s really cool about this app is that it’s specifically designed for college students, requiring a student email for sign up. Before any out to eat meal, I check this app to see if some of my favorite places has a deal going on. My friends and I even sometimes base our meals off the best deal going on at the time. I would recommend this app to anyone even if you don’t have a tight budget it’s always worth saving some extra spending cash.  

Another favorite of mine is called “Bumble” this app allows you to meet people in your area who are close in age and share similar interests as me. There are three different modes in this app called, “date”, “bff” and “bizz”. If you’re interested in meeting new friends, finding a date or businesses opportunities “Bumble” is the app for you. I think having an app like this is useful in college because you can make new friends and find new experiences. Whether that means finding a friend to have a Netflix marathon with, a date to go to a Haunted House with, or a business to be able to grow your own. This app is useful in every way. 

Almost every university now a days also has an app specifically for their university, like I attend Texas State and use the app “TXST Mobile”. This app is great because it’s everything you need to know about your college in your pocket. I can find out where the buses are, where my classes are, home works I have due, upcoming tests, and any holds on my record. In the past students would have to buy organizers just to keep track of all of this but with this app you can add all of this straight to your phone calendar and be able to set reminders and keep up with all of your classes.
