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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
