From making a time-sensitive trade for a fantasy football team, completing a food delivery while working for Postmates or simply posting a reminder for a Feminism club meeting in a Facebook group, extracurriculars can be a whole lot easier with an iPhone.

Senior Katie St. Claire utilizes the benefits of her iPhone in her work for Postmates, a company that allows its customers to order food through the Postmates app or on the computer. Workers like St. Claire pick up the food and deliver it to the customer’s home. She delivers in her free time, as Postmates offers flexible hours.

“Postmates allows for anyone with a phone to work for them which is really cool,” St. Claire said. ¨Even if you don’t have a car or bike, you can still walk and do Postmates.”

IMG_20160223_0003-2While making money is an option for St. Claire, Senior Nic Wiesbrock has another use of his iPhone: fantasy football. During the football season, Wiesbrock uses his smartphone to check game scores, witness bragging in his fantasy football league’s group chat and trade players. His iPhone allows him a head start in trading players before other members in his league, Wiesbrock said.

Feminism Club President senior Anna Morris uses her iPhone to post on the Feminism Club Facebook page. Her iPhone is helpful when she remembers she needs to post in the group at random times, Morris said.

“It’s hard to know if I could survive without [my iPhone],” Morris said.

The instant communication offered by her phone enables her to contact people more easily in planning, Morris said. Feminism Club uses Facebook to promote their club, and although an iPhone is not necessary to participate, it helps.

“It’s cool because people who can’t come to the meetings can still share their thoughts,” Morris said.
