Life Hacks for College Students
Times are tough for many college students these days. The good news is that there are things you can do to make life just a bit easier. The trick is to get creative if you are going to survive college life. Here are some great life hacks for college students.
Keep Your Textbook Open– Do you get annoyed in class because you are trying to take notes but your textbook won’t stay open? Here is a neat trick to keep it open: use a pen, clip it on and voila, open textbook.
Organize Your School Supplies– So, you probably have an endless supply of pens, pencils and highlighters for all that homework and studying right? Need a way to keep them all organized? Use an empty toilet paper roll.
Remember Your Class Schedule– At the beginning of each semester, you have to try and memorize your new class schedule right? Take a picture of your class schedule with your phone. Then, make that image of your schedule your lock screen.
Cut Your Studying Time in Half– If you spend hours upon hours studying, using written notes, you can actually cut your study time in half. How? When you are in class, instead of taking notes, record your lecture. Then, when it comes time to study, listen to the recordings.
Make Coffee without a Coffeemaker– If you need that morning caffeine but don’t have a coffeemaker, there is a little trick you can try. All you need are some plastic cups, coffee mug, coffee filter, rubber bands and hot water. Place a coffee filter around a plastic cup, secure with a rubber band, add some coffee grounds to the filter, then add hot water and instantly you have coffee.
Make Hot Dogs in Your Coffeemaker– If you don’t have a stove to cook on, or it’s broken at the moment, use your coffeemaker to make hot dogs. Fill the coffeemaker with eight cups of water, add some hot dogs and run a normal coffee cycle.
