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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
