I know it's been like two weeks since I last posted. I have been slacking and there's not a real excuse for it except I've been pretty tired and busy. The sad part is, a lot of my blog posts ideas are pretty simple and I already have them laid out on my phone so the main thing is just making myself sit down and actually type them out.Anyway, besides the fact that I suck, I have had this amazing idea for a blog post just kind of sneak up on me while playing on my phone in the car just killing time. Why not make a list of all of the ways I waste time? I'm kidding of course, but seriously? I'm going to list my top ten apps that I use literally on a daily basis. Some of these are for actual productive purposes and some of these are just to kill time. Either way, I am the type of person that is constantly on my phone, but it's not usually because I am talking to people.
*I am also going to leave the painfully obvious app, GroupMe, out because it is so dreadfully obvious that I have to use this app every day and not out of enjoyment.*
1. Facebook. This is self-explanatory right? One could argue that Facebook is actually productive. Even teachers use it now as a way to stay in touch with their students and maybe even to use a group message to the class because who checks their emails anymore? I also can needlessly scroll through my news feed for hours. I hate it, but I can.
2. Twitter. Ha, this is kind of a funny story. I was an adamant Twitter disbeliever like 6 months ago, but once my main gaming things, such as The Sims and LoL, started using Twitter, I had to convert and now I love Twitter sooooo much more than Facebook. I literally have even considered deleting my Facebook because I never post anything on there anymore, but alas, I have way more friends on Facebook than I have followers
on Twitter.
3. Pinterest. Pinterest and I have a long history of wasted time and so-called productivity. I can literally be on Pinterest all day and never get tired of it. NEVER. I mean, I definitely regret it later, but stuff happens.
4. Zedge. This app might not be as familiar to you guys as the others. It's literally a conglomerate of wallpapers and ring tones and although, I don't spend countless hours on this app like I do the others, I check it nearly every day because I am always changing my wallpaper. I get bored of things too fast guys. Too fast.
5. Hayday. Hayday kind of feels like old news now and I don't play it as religiously as I did when the game first came out, but because my mother still plays it every day and is always pestering me about it, I try to get on it once a day at least.
6. Google Opinion Rewards. So since I have an android, I have the Google Play Store instead of Itunes. I am sure Apple does something similar to this though. Basically it's an app that gives me play store credit for taking surveys and I do typically get three or four surveys a week which isn't bad considering each survey pays at least 10 cents just for answering a few questions. I have to leave a shout out to the future husband here since he made me download this app. I have gotten many books from this app.
7. Kitty Powers' Matchmaker. Another glorious buy thanks to Google Rewards. The app itself was like 3 dollars. 3 whole dollars, but I do believe it was worth every cent. Then again, I didn't technically pay for it. Anyway, you play a match maker and your goal is to build up your agency by helping your clients find their true love. This game is super addicting though. I literally had to keep my phone plugged up when I first downloaded the app because I would just play this game for hours. Luckily, I have toned down some and I only play it when I have some down time or I have like an hour break between classes.
8. Tiny Tower Vegas. Another super addicting, but FREE app. Or at least it was free when I downloaded it, I didn't do any research before doing this blog. Whoops. In Tiny Tower Vegas you start off with like one floor and your goal is to make as many floors as possible and these floors can be hotel rooms, food, entertainment, and of course gambling attractions. It's pretty addicting since you get to play the casino attractions as well.
9. Pandora. This app has been used and abused for a real long time. Any time I am in my house (where the WiFi is) I can been seen jamming out to Pandora. I don't know why I prefer Pandora over my iPod. I guess because at least Pandora plays me something new every once in a while and I have to jam out to my iPod whenever I am in the car or anywhere where I might have to use my 4G :O!
10. Wish. I saved Wish for last because I literally just downloaded this app like a few days ago, but I spend way too much time on it and because everything is so cheap, I almost can't logically tell my brain I don't need 74 watches.
