3 essential smartphone applications in college life

As I have mentioned in the first blog post,  I am interested in web services and applications that would make people's lives more simple and enhanced.

Today, I would like to introduce 3 smartphone applications that I think are very useful in college life.
I would be glad if some of you start using the following applications and feel that they are useful as well.

The following applications could be used to make your college lives more efficient and productive.


1. Wunderlist

Wunderlist is an application that allows you to manage and schedule your to-dos.
In this app, you can categorize your to-dos into multiple folders.
Moreover, you can also share your to-do lists with your friends and work on a same project.
You can use wunderlist on any smart device and computer.
This is probably the best self-managing application to organize your to-dos.

2. Pocket

Pocket is an application that lets you save articles, videos, photos and more.
When you are reading an article on your laptop and you have to get to school, just tap the pocket button and save it to your pocket.
Then it automatically saves the article on the pocket cloud, which enables you to access it through any smart device while on a train or a bus on your way to school.
Pocket may reduce your wasted time and create more meaningful time, getting more information effectively.

3. Evernote

As many of you may already know, Evernote lets you take notes and access them from any device.
This application could be used in various different ways, but most frequently, it could be used to take class notes.
This app's possibilities for every day life are infinite, and it all depends on how you are going to use it.

I, Yusuke Yaginuma, living at my highest and best, am positive, committed, trustworthy, and challenging.
However, there are certain things that I cannot achieve continuously every day.
The following lists are what I aspire.


At the end of every day I wish to feel that I have been more...


confident
ambitious
mentally powerful
challenging
dynamic
stupid
risk taking
inspirational to my friends, colleagues, and the society

Someday I hope to have...


a happy family
a huge impact to the world
traveled many countries and experience various cultures
triggered many people's lives to dramatically change in a good way through my my achievement

When I die I wish to be remembered as a good...


friend, leader, sempai, and man.

Self Introduction

Hi!
I'm Yusuke Yaginuma.
In this blog post, I would like to introduce myself briefly.

I am currently 18 years old and I belong to stream 2D with Kengo, Mao, and Mako.
I also belong to the ICU soccer club.

I was born in Shizuoka, then moved to Pakistan and lived there for a year. Then I came back to Japan and started living in Tokyo till grade 6. After that I moved to Cambodia and stayed there for about 3 years, and came back to Japan in grade 9.

I live close to Mitakadai station of the Inokashira line, which is 2 stations away from Kichijoji.
My history with Kichijoji is 15 years long, so I know many superb Ramen restaurants in Kichijoji.
Just let me know if you want to know any of them.

My interests are: soccer, basketball, music, business, startups, and web services.

I especially love playing soccer because I have been playing it since grade 2.
My favorite player is Ronaldinho from Brazil.

I listen to any kind of music from dubstep to country music.
My fads right now are One Republic, Skrillex, Steve Aoki, and Arctic Monkeys.

About web service, it is hard to explain why I started being interested in them.

It is very nice to be in this new fresh class.
I hope I get the chances to know all of you.
See you guys in class!

Yusuke
