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.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
