Life can be a mess sometimes and confusing to say the least. So why not try a few of these things when life becomes less than perfect. Here are six life-hacks to help you out.


1. Scattered bobby pins be-gone.


It's hard to keep track of bobby pins, like unbelievable hard. And once you have taken them off the package they come on, there is no good way to keep them and store them. Until now! Buy a cheap stick-on magnetic strip from Walmart, cut a piece off and stick it to a place where you get ready (vanity, by your bed, desk, ect.) and viola! You're bobby pins are up and ready to go.


2. Scarf storage.

Okay, we all know scarves are a must-have for fall and winter seasons. But when you have 10--or 50 scarves it can be a hassle to store them all. Not any more! Simply purchase some cheap shower rings to an old hanger and you now have something to hang all your scarves on. Just slide each scarf on a ring and hang in your closet. Boom! Instant scarf organizer and it's so easy to do.


3. Bathroom stalls that won't stay latched.


This is the best life-hack ever! Most of us will encounter a bathroom stall that won't latch along the way, so what do you do if you HAVE to use that stall and you don't want the door to sing open? Simply put a hair tie around the latch and you're good to go!


4. Pricey make-up brushes.


Why buy a billion pricey make up brushes? Get two-in-one with this simple hack.


5. Broken flip-flops.

We all know the struggle of the broken flip-flop. When your beloved pals decide it's time to rip. Simple fix? Place a bread tag around the part that stick out of the bottom and it will no longer rip through the broken hole. This may only be a temporary fix but it works until you can get a new pair.


6. Shaving cuts.


We've all done it. This easy trick will stop the bleeding almost immediately.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
