6 Random Life Hacks To Make Everything Easier

Life is short and most people don't want to do much. They want to be able to get their work done and have time left over to relax. Well, today, I am going to give you some life hacks that will help you throughout life.

1. When shoveling snow this winter, spray your shovel with non-stick cooking spray before you go out. The snow will slide off so easily, making shoveling a breeze. (For many of us, this will be helpful since it just started snowing).

2. Pineapple juice is more effective at helping you stop coughing than cough syrup is. This is because pineapples contain Bromelain, which can combat infections and eradicate the bacteria. It's also a high concentrate in Vitamin C, which is also used to help battle illnesses. (This is true. I get sick often, so I drink lots of pineapple juice.)

3. Eating a spoonful of peanut butter before you go to bed helps you burn more calories while you sleep.

4. Nail polish remover helps clean stains off of tennis shoes

5. If you lose an Android phone in your house and it's on vibrate, you can find it by going to Google Play> Settings>Android Device Manager>'Ring' (I have tried this and it works).

6. Try applying your deodorant at night instead of the morning. It'll be more effective and you'll sweat less the next day.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
