These are interesting apps, but is that all? Of course not. There's an app that's yet to be included and that's 'Your dream'

'What are you dreams after graduation? What seem to define who you are? Who do you want to become?

Graduation isn't far away, Believe me, it's here and it's now! What will you do if you were unable to get a job within 6 to 1 year after graduation? The labour market is a nightmare. You shouldn't even imagine it, for me, it's hard to. Do you know that very soon, that pocket money will stop rolling in? Do you know that a time is coming when your parents and siblings will expect bread when you're coming home? What will you be doing while waiting for that dream job?

It's better to see reality than be lost in fantasy land. Unfortunately, there are little businesses you can start even while a student. I'm a student, in my 200L and you can't imagine how much I make monthly.

Start thinking about the future now. Success doesn't happen by accident.
