As we struggle throughout the mayhem of our college years, here are a few tips and tricks in app form to get you through the week. Channel your inner Bob Barker as you read this.

1. GroupMe

So simple, yet so helpful. This app allows you to talk to multiple friends across different platforms, which means no more dumb phone/smartphone hassles. Enough said. Get it now.

2. Venmo

Everyone needs cash, but no one carries it anymore, and while you can just sit around and hope that it’ll pay itself back, you can instead download Venmo, which is like PayPal, but for your phone. Do it before your friends hate you.

3. TransLoc

Oh. My. Goodness. Is this real life or is it just fantasy? An app for the Harvard shuttle that’s actually accurate? Thank heaven!

4. Evernote

Evernote is the ultimate notetaker. It lets you keep all your written, audio, picture, or voice memos in one place, within easy reach of the search function, and makes it accessible everywhere (thank you, cloud technology).

5. Adblock Plus

Goodbye to being tracked by Google Analytics and the NSA, and helloooo ad-free browsing! Never again will an ad pop up before a YouTube video, or distract you with Zappos shoe sales. With both mobile and desktop versions, this free app is a must.

6. Stayfocusd

Stop stalking that cute guy three floors up and start doing work. This free app will help limit the amount of time you spend on time-wasting websites to increase your productivity. Go finish that p-set!
