17 Awesome Life Hacks Staring You In The Face

As a college student, you're probably going to end up in situations where you have no idea what to do. Well, I am here to help! Here are 17 life hacks that you may need to use in the near future!


1. You're failing out of classes because you go out too much.

Life Hack: Open a book.

2. It's Friday. Happy Hour is upon you, you're having a great time, and you realize you have no way to get home.

Life Hack: Stay out until the next morning.

3. You're in your dorm sleeping and all of a sudden, your roommate comes in with the hot brunette three doors down. They start making out on his side of the room, and you already know how this is gonna go down.

Life Hack: Put on your pair of Monster Headphones, open up Pandora, and play Ed Sheeran Radio.

4. Your crush just texted you asking if you wanted to come over to "watch some Netflix."

Life Hack: Say no because you just checked Netflix and there's nothing really good on.

5.You just caught your RA walking out of one of your neighbor's dorm rooms with no pants on.

Life Hack: Assume nothing because your RA was probably just taking care of a noise complaint.

6. Your Tinder date looks nothing like their profile picture, in fact, this person is pretty damn ugly.

Life Hack: Tell your Tinder date that he/she would look way better with no clothes on.

7. You just got caught by a cop using a fake ID at a bar.

Life Hack: Tell the officer that you're only using the fake to save money on cover, and that the beer in your hand is for your friend who is 21.

8. Your best friend of the opposite sex who you have a crush on just became single after three years.

Life Hack: Tell your best friend to do whatever it takes to get back with that person.

9. You've officially decided that you want to rush a fraternity.

Life Hack: make sure you stock up on Hollister shirts and cargo shorts.

10. You're at a house party, you never drank before and someone tells you to go take some shots of tequila.

Life Hack: Do it because it looks like water, and anything that looks like water must taste like water.

11. An upperclassman just asked if you were a freshman.

Life Hack: Say no because even you know as a freshman that freshmen aren't even cool.

12. You're looking at the menu at what type of beer they have and you can't come to a decision.

Life Hack: Pick the one that's the cheapest on the menu, regardless of the name.

13. You found out that your boyfriend/girlfriend is cheating on you.

Life Hack: Assume it must be true and sleep with his/her best friend as a way of revenge.

14. You realize that your eight-page research paper is due Wednesday at 11:59 p.m., and it's currently Wednesday at 11:09 p.m. and you haven't written a single word.

Life Hack: Say challenge accepted, and then continuously bang your head on the keyboard and hope it makes words.

15. You have been staring at the girl with the really big rack for a solid 30 seconds, and you just got caught.

Life Hack: Tell her, "Oh crap, I think that's Ryan Seacrest over there!" Once she turns around, start staring at her butt until you get caught.

16. You're lifting weights, and the guy next to you is lifting more than you.

Life Hack: Give up on lifting and just do leg days from now until the end of time.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
