But Later when I discover them, life was much easy.Now that being said, I have made a list of Top 10 web apps that every College students should use, so lets check them out.

This makes it easy to remember everything from your day-to-day life. Best part about this web app is available for your computer, phone, tablet and the web.

Spotify is an online music streaming service that will completely change your music experience for good. At least it work for me.

You can search for your favorite music or browse from existing playlist created by other users. I love spotify and I wish I would have discover it in my early college days.

However Spotify is only limited to US and some European countries but you can try this workaround to get spotify outside US and UK.

Google Drive is a free web service that lets you store all your files including documents, photos, videos and Google Docs online and access them anywhere.

But unlike Dropbox, In Google drive you can create PowerPoint Presentation, spreadsheets, word documents etc online and share them with your friends. Used this feature a lot when I had Linux as my Primary OS.

Rather than providing a list web pages like Google Wolfram|Alpha performs dynamic computations based on a vast collection of structured built-in data, algorithms, and methods to get the answer.
