15 Life Hacks

Hey Guys! For the past 19 years I have found myself doing and taking these nifty tricks that helped me get through all sorts of days. Here's a condensed list of hacks that will help you be successful.

1. A day with espresso is Despresso.

The right and the best way to start off each morning is with coffee. Not only does it wake you right up, but it's a perfect way to get the day started, especially during finals.

2. Ice cream is always a good idea regardless of what time it is.

Who doesn't love a good scoop of ice cream? This refreshing treat will make you forget your problems in a span of minutes.

3. Trying hard to do well in school is never lame.

Through the years, I have noticed that people make fun of individuals who work for their grades. Some students de-grade their work ethic because of this, but ambition is good. Don't let some stranger stop you from doing your thing.

4. College is scary, but amazing.

College isn't like high school and no amount of preparation will make you feel ready till you experience it first hand. Overall, it's a work in progress, and it will make you mentally and physically stronger.

5. Always be nicer than you have to be.

Everyone is going through something, and the least you can do is be a nice person and treat everyone as you want to be treated.

6. Binge watching Netflix should be should be allowed on your resume.

The countless amount of hours I spend on Netflix is actually quite impressive. Most people watch an episode or two a day, but if you're like me, you're more of a season a day kind of person.

7. "The Office" may be the best show ever created.

"That's what she said."

8. Wait for your Jim.

If you watch "The Office," you can agree that Jim is the perfect package. Your Jim and Pam will come along and they will make your life a thousand times better.

9. Regardless of how busy you are, take some time out of the day to treat yourself.

Self-Love is important. As Dr.Suess states, "Today you're you, that's truer than true." The fact is you won't be able to live your full potential if you hate the body you're give. So, honey, starting today start loving yourself, and trust me, coming from a person who has been through this it will make every day worth living.

10. Girls that are nice to each other are very important.

Instead of putting each other down, girls need to start motivating and empowering each other. If we turn the jealousy into something positive we all truly can run the world.

11. Listen to Kanye's songs whenever you can.

Even though most people that I have talked to think of him as a "narcissist and egoistical man" if you truly listen to the words of his songs they're very inspiring. Kanye for 2020!

12. Never delete your Snapchats from the night out before.

What's the point of posting something if you're going to delete it, unless you're making fun of someone. Yes, it might be embarrassing they're the one's that make the best stories.

13. As cliche as it sounds beauty comes from within.

In today's world everyone is brain-washed with the fact that makeup makes them pretty, but it's the opposite. Yes make-up does emphasize individuals naturals features, but it doesn't make them "pretty." What makes someone pretty is their personality; how they treat others and themselves. The scars, laugh lines, stretch marks, and blemishes show case that you lived.

14. Self-love is important.

I can't stress this enough. It's easier said than done, but in the end you only have yourself. Talk and take care of yourself as if you were to take care of a loved one.

15. Smile and follow the little heart of yours.

If you listen closely, there's a little voice in your head that always speaks the truth. Sometimes, we fail to listen to it, but that voice knows the truth and that's what we need to listen to. Hang on to that feeling and that voice, with that I assure you you will go places.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
