1. Plastic Bag Storagehttp://www.listotic.com/50-brilliant-storage-ideas...

For this creative idea, all you would need are some thumbtacks, your storage bag boxes, and a blank wall space. When I did this in my kitchen, I used my pantry wall because it's conveniently located next to my snacks.This small kitchen adjustment could easily shave seconds off of your morning routine. Since I'm not a morning person, I'd do anything to stay in bed a little longer before I have to get ready and leave to go to my morning class.

2. Container Storagehttp://housegood.co/10-genius-solutions-food-stora...

This idea is suitable for anyone who prepares their meals for the week in advance, allowing for a structured area to place containers, as well as lids. Consider this, to avoid spending extra time when searching for the corresponding lid for the container your attempting to use, you can conveniently find it after organizing your containers like shown. What you need are your storage containers and any empty boxes that you have. In this picture, they used boxes with a design on them, these are typically found in the "home decor" or "storage" section of your local Walmart or Target.

3. Foil/Wrap Box Storagehttps://www.apartmenttherapy.com/the-big-list-of-c...

If you're tired of rummaging through countless drawers to find out where it could have been that you stashed your tin foil, you could use this handy idea to store your boxes in. Mounting a file holder onto a door of one of your kitchen cabinets utilizes a space that wouldn't normally be utilized, and does it in a way that makes things look presentable. File holders are typically located in the "office" section of Walmart or Target, you could get metal or paper ones to mount and even decorate it to coordinate with your kitchen's theme.

4. Spice Storage https://www.instructables.com/id/Hidden-Fridge-Gap...

Of the 5 ideas, this one is definitely the most challenging but it may be the most rewarding since people tend to have an overwhelming amount of spices in their kitchen. These bottles always take up way too much room, not to mention that they fall over and spill easily. The supplies you'll need for this idea is a tape measure, nails, a hammer, nine wooden planks, six wooden rods, a metal handle, and your spice bottles. Depending on the space between the wall and your fridge effects the width and length of the wooden planks and rods you'll need to have.

5. Pan storagehttps://www.apartmenttherapy.com/small-and-easy-up...

Clear up the inside and the underneath of your oven with this storage idea. All you need is a file rack, your baking pans, and any cookie sheets you need to organize. Most file racks are small enough to fit conveniently inside one of your kitchen cabinets. You can find a file rack in the "office" section of Walmart or Target, in the same area that you would find the file holders in the "foil/wrap box storage" idea above. This would ultimately maximize the space in your kitchen and prevent the clanging of pans when opening the drawer underneath your oven.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again.

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
