4 Apps To Perk Up Your GPA

By Judy Lee ‘17

1. Google Calendar

If you don’t already use this wonder, do so immediately. Although it sucks initially having to input everything you need to do, scheduling in repeats will take care of that for you. I usually color code events by Class, Work Study, Internship, Club 1, Club 2, Miscellaneous, and Tests. This way, each week I feel a little more secure glancing forward and getting a general idea of what I need to accomplish, and what takes most priority.

2. Pocket Points

This app will literally reward you for not looking at your phone. Download it, and receive points for the time you don’t open your phone and use them to buy sweet, delicious food near campus! Check it out.

3. Self Control

For those who don’t have self control, now you can download….Self Control. This app is downloaded onto a Mac (sorry PC) and will ask you to input websites on the “black list” and a time period for which they should be blocked. After, whether you uninstall or restart your computer, those websites will be inaccessible for the time you inputted.

4. Todoist

Love checking off lists? I do. Since this comes in mobile and laptop apps and can also have bullet organized by date and/or category, Todoist organizes for you while you try to organize for yourself.
