One of the most annoying things is when you smear your lipstick on your blouse when you put it on, or just staining your clothing in general. It looks unprofessional and it sucks that even when you wash it, the color is still slightly visible. Here are my top 8 life hacks that I would highly recommend for people who like me, are pretty clumsy.

1. Lemon For A Sweat Stain:

This mostly happens during the summer depending on how much you sweat. Usually, when you sweat while wearing light colored clothing the sweat tends to leave a light colored residue. These stains almost NEVER come off when you wash them. The sour part of the lemon is an acid that soaks things up. So when this is put on the sweat stain the clothing piece is pretty much good as new.

2. Vinegar On Coffee Stains or Blood Stains:

If you like coffee and you drink it every morning, then chances are you may have experienced this plenty of times. Especially when you are in a rush to be somewhere. If you get a small bowl and mix vinegar into it. Use an old tooth brush to help scrub the coffee stain off of the piece of clothing that was extracted with coffee and wa-la! Also, adding vinegar to any blood stain will also reduce the appearance of the reddened area.

3. Dish Soap For Chocolate Stains:

Chocolate is one of the most branched out sweets ever. Ranging from cake to pudding, and especially candy. Chocolate also happens to be a darker color and if it is a candy bar then that can be a mess. If you take a warm towel and add dish soap of any type, most of the chocolate stain will disappear.

4. White Chalk For A Oil Stain:

I don't know about you, but whenever I cook with any type of oil, it always splashes on me. If this ever happens then I usually throw my T-shirts away. I recently read online that white chalk gets rid of the oils in clothing. I tried it myself and was shocked when I saw that basic sidewalk chalk got rid of an oil spot on my favorite band tee!

5. White Wine For A Red Wine Spill:

You've had a long day at work or even school and just want a small glass of wine to go with your dinner, but then you spill it all over your daily wear. If you have white wine then quickly add that over the red wine stain. Lightly rub the red wine stain with a dry damp towel.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.
