10 Life Hacks You Should Be Using
Wallpaper Vortex

Sometimes we as humans need hacks to speed things along or make life a little better. These ten life hacks are some that I'm sure will bring you a bit of joy.


1.) Runaway Cats!

Did Mittens get out? If so, put the little guy's litter box on the porch. Cats have a great sense of smell, so Mittens will be able to sniff out his poo and find home!


2.) Pesky Charging Cables!

Find yourself often infuriated by your charging cable breaking? Finally tired of spending money on a new charger? Take the spring out of an old pen and apply it to your charger at the top. Boom! Problem Solved!


3.) Headaches Be Gone

Cut a lime in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing should start to go away!


4.) Paper Cuts Suck.

Stop the pain of a paper cut by applying chaptstick. The pain will almost immediately stop.


5.) Bad Breath Stinks!

To check how bad your breath really is, lick your wrist and smell it. It will let you know how offensive or non offensive your breath has been to everyone else.


6.) Broken Shells

If you have issues with your crunchy taco shells breaking, wrap a soft tortilla around it. It helps keep the taco together, and if you want added flavor you can put a thin layer of beans and/or cheese between them.


7.) Fresh Day Old Pizza

Wanna keep the crust from being chewy while you microwave it? Put a small amount of water in a glass while you heat it up.


8.) Burning Calories With No Effort

Before bed eat a spoonful of peanut butter. It will help burn calories while you sleep.


9.) Cake or cookie?

Have a cake mix, but you want cookie? Add two eggs and 1/2 a cup of oil, and BAM! Cookies!


10.) You're Welcome

We all get a song stuck in your head. More often then not, we don't remember the name of the song. If you go to google and enter the lyrics you remember, google should provide you with the song title and artist. No more time wasted in racking your brain for a song title.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
