10 Life Hacks You Should Be Using
Wallpaper Vortex

Sometimes we as humans need hacks to speed things along or make life a little better. These ten life hacks are some that I'm sure will bring you a bit of joy.


1.) Runaway Cats!

Did Mittens get out? If so, put the little guy's litter box on the porch. Cats have a great sense of smell, so Mittens will be able to sniff out his poo and find home!


2.) Pesky Charging Cables!

Find yourself often infuriated by your charging cable breaking? Finally tired of spending money on a new charger? Take the spring out of an old pen and apply it to your charger at the top. Boom! Problem Solved!


3.) Headaches Be Gone

Cut a lime in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing should start to go away!


4.) Paper Cuts Suck.

Stop the pain of a paper cut by applying chaptstick. The pain will almost immediately stop.


5.) Bad Breath Stinks!

To check how bad your breath really is, lick your wrist and smell it. It will let you know how offensive or non offensive your breath has been to everyone else.


6.) Broken Shells

If you have issues with your crunchy taco shells breaking, wrap a soft tortilla around it. It helps keep the taco together, and if you want added flavor you can put a thin layer of beans and/or cheese between them.


7.) Fresh Day Old Pizza

Wanna keep the crust from being chewy while you microwave it? Put a small amount of water in a glass while you heat it up.


8.) Burning Calories With No Effort

Before bed eat a spoonful of peanut butter. It will help burn calories while you sleep.


9.) Cake or cookie?

Have a cake mix, but you want cookie? Add two eggs and 1/2 a cup of oil, and BAM! Cookies!


10.) You're Welcome

We all get a song stuck in your head. More often then not, we don't remember the name of the song. If you go to google and enter the lyrics you remember, google should provide you with the song title and artist. No more time wasted in racking your brain for a song title.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
