6 Hacks For Your iPhone

1. Lock your camera's focal point.

Isn't it so annoying how you have to keep tapping the screen to make your camera focus? Well by pressing and holding down your screen for 3-4 seconds you can place an "AF Lock" on your focal point. Then your camera will not lose focus while taking your next picture.

2. Gently shake your phone to delete an entire message.

Don't want to hit the back button to have to delete your entire text message that you know you'll regret sending? Just shake your phone and then hit "Undo." Simple as that.

3. Charge your battery faster by turning on Airplane Mode.

It normally takes an hour or two to fully charge an iPhone to 100%. But by simply putting it on airplane, it'll charge in half the time

4. There is no need to finish the rest of your URL.

While on any screen with the keyboard open, simply push and holding down the "." will open up a series of pre-created URL endings.

5. Swipe left on a text to see the timestamp.

You can see the exact time that you texted someone back and how long it actually took them to reply to your message as well. In a text message, simply swipe to the left to see the timestamp of an exact text.

6. Save battery life by turning off your Location Services.

If you're not using maps at a certain time, why not just turn it off completely to save that much-needed energy on your phone? To do this go to Settings> Privacy> Location Services, then choose which app's location you want to turn off.

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.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
