Do you often find yourself in a mess at the end of the semester? Do you have deadlines and assignments stacking like pancakes? Not to worry as I am about to share some phone applications that might be of help to you.
1. Forest

With Forest, the more you stay away from your phone, the more cute virtual trees grow. Turn on the 'Plant' function and stay away from your phone to stay distraction-free. After you earn credits from planting trees, you can spend them in the store to customize your forest — get new species of trees or unlock ambient sounds that you can use as relaxing background music when you do your work. Better yet, spend 2500 coins and the app will donate money to a charity called Trees for the Future. The money will then go to planting a real life tree. We love going green while working hard on our assignments!
2. Zotero

I know I’m not the only one who always loses the list of articles used as references while writing my essays. Yes, it's a bad habit… But, Zotero is here to save us as this app will capture the articles you have used in your writing in APA format and generate it in your citations almost instantaneously!
Mac & Google Chrome: https://www.zotero.org/download/
3. CamScanner

Most students would know about this app, but for the uninitiated, CamScanner allows you to ‘scan’ real life documents and share them with others in either JPEG or PDF format. I personally use this a lot for my literature courses. It’s really handy when I need to make copies of novels and I want to be environmentally-friendly (without having to spend money at the printing shop).
