College life is all about finding the right balance between your studies and socializing with people. It is probably the first time you’re living on your own and managing yourself.

Gone are the days when you would wake up with the smell of freshly flipped pancakes and a maple drizzle, you now have to wake yourself up on time, cook your own food, sift through your laundry and well the list is endless.

While college life may be very exciting, opening up new avenues for you to explore and find the true calling of your life, you might find yourself in the middle of bubbling chaos some days.

Movie stars in romantic comedies make college look more glamorous than it actually is. There’s not just the happy-go-lucky hero who lands on the college stairs skating on his graffiti-ridden skateboard, with a group of girls swooning over his well-built bicep, what they miss out is the next day when he has to drag himself out of bed because he didn’t get enough sleep and there’s laundry to look after, food to be cooked, assignments to be completed and a stinky body to be washed!

Well, having gone through the process, we can assure you it’s way less glamorous than that. And to help you realistically manage your college life, we have come up with a list of apps that will be your savior through your student life. So first things first, get a reliable internet connection that will not cost you a leg and arm, and you can let technology help you streamline your life. Since you need a temporary internet connection at your student accommodation, go for an internet service provider that won’t require a contract or have hidden charges, and offer low-budget plans.

We suggest you look for a good kinetic internet as you might even need to take online classes, which require greater internet bandwidth. So prepare yourself for the challenge, buckle up your seat, and welcome in on our secret to acing college life.
