Clogged toilet and no plunger? Don't worry, we can help.

College Hacks You Will Not Find On Pinterest

Clogged toilet and no plunger:

We have all been there. It is really frustrating and can ruin your whole day. Why must it clog? Where can you even buy a plunger? Before you call your parents in a panic, get creative. This will only work if the toilet is not overflowing. If it is, you are going to have to remove liquid from the toilet before this process… good luck. If you are a lucky one with a little bit of water at the bottom of then take either shampoo, dish soap, or hand soap and squirt as much of it as you thing is necessary into the potty (remember this is almost life or death, choose wisely.) Then, take the hottest water you can find and start pouring it into the toilet with a water pitcher or straight from the shower head if possible. Let it sit for about two minutes, then flush the toilet and enjoy the sound of a fully functioning toilet sin your parents help. Congrats! This is adulthood.


Stop your thighs from rubbing:

Okay, if you are a college girl there is a 99.9% chance you have dry shampoo in your bathroom. No judgment, we all have those days when washing your hair is not necessary or we are too lazy to do so, but did you know your dry shampoo can be used to keep your thighs from rubbing under your favorite dress? That is right, just spray your thighs where they rub with a good coat of dry shampoo and you are good to go all day! This is a great hack for the girls like me who hate wearing pantyhose, but hate thighs rubbing even more. So spray your thighs and rock them like you are Beyoncé.



Squeaky desk chairs:

Nothing is worse for the person under you in your dorm than to have to listen to you scoot around in your squeaky desk chair. Instead of creating loud chaos, put socks on each leg of your chair. Not only will it keep the noise level down, you can now scoot across your room without getting out of your chair or investing in an expensive “rollie chair.” It is a win for everyone!


Cook pasta in a coffee pot:

Okay, you may have seen this one on Pinterest, but it is too good not to share. If you do not have a stovetop in your room or dorm, but really love pasta, there is still hope for you. Put water in your coffee pot and put it on the warmer. Put your noodles inside the pot. If needed you can have noodles sticking out of the spout until the noodles inside of the pot start to get soft. Then wait about 8-10 minutes, put your favorite sauce on it and WAHLA five star Italian dinner right in your dorm room. Bonus pro-tip: If you have bread or left over pizza you can toast it on your iron. Be careful not to burn yourself or the pizza. Burning yourself would be painful; burning the pizza would be tragic.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
