Top Eight Online Services/Apps This Campus Needs
Ever go to KAF during a non-rush hour to find a line stretching all the way into Baker lobby? Wish there were an app for that? Here’s a list of the top eight online services or apps that would make campus life so much less stressful. Computer science majors, I’m looking at you.
1. Pong lines by frat.
The app should also list the number of people in each frat by class year, and note whether or not there is a dance party. This way, you can locate your ideal scene at any given moment.
2. Number of seats in the library, by popular study area.
Ever wander around for 20 minutes looking for the ideal study spot? This app would list the number of open seats in Periodicals, First Floor Berry and other popular study areas. Less time looking for a spot = more time to procrastinate on BuzzFeed, cough, study.
3. Amount of ice/mud/other treacherous conditions on the Green.
The app would issue an advisory warning if wiping out were even a remote possibility. It’s much better to walk for five extra minutes than to fall on your face in front of everyone.
4. “Who is my dean?”
A common campus conundrum. Just enter your name and ID, and this app will tell you the exact name and office location of your assigned undergraduate dean. Endless advising possibilities await.
5. How many treadmills/elliptical machines are open at the gym?
Much easier than trolling around awkwardly until one opens up. One caveat to this is the fast rate of machine turnover at the gym, so you’ll have to run over there pretty quickly when one opens up.
6. Where is there free food on campus?
This helpful app will inform you where free food is located on campus at any given moment. You’ll never have to use a meal swipe again.
7. What baked goods are available at Collis right now?
The desserts can be hit or miss, but you’ll never have to wonder again with this useful app. Mint Oreo brownies? I’m there.
8. DDS/KAF lines by estimated wait time.
I’ll conclude with the obvious. There’s nothing worse than trekking to Collis for stir fry, only to encounter a daunting 20-minute wait time. How this app would work logistically is beyond me, but if anyone were to actually invent it, I’m sure campus would be eternally grateful.
