"So it turns out that being an adult is mostly just googling how to do stuff"... Isn't that the truth! As if life can't hard enough by itself, why not make some things a little more simple/fun? Here are 20 randomly fun life hacks that you definitely need to try!

1. Opening Siri on Pandora

If you open Siri during a video Pandora advertisement once you close Siri the advertisement will stop and allow you to continue listening to music.

2. 10minutemail.com

This website gives you a fake email address so when you go to sign up for things you don’t have to use your own personal email

3. Using Listerine on a pimple

You can shrink a pimple in minutes by dabbing Listerine on it. The alcohol in it causes the pimple to dry up and fade!

4. For whiter teeth (without spending a fortune), use a banana!

Take a banana peel and gently rub it on your teeth for 2 minutes, the minerals will absorb into your teeth and make them whiter.

5. If you mess up a voicemail to someone, press the “#” to erase and re-record it

I'm sure we have all been there, accidentally saying the wrong thing just like we do when talking in person, good news with most voicemail are you press the pound sign and start fresh!

6. A mosquito bite remedy with a hot spoon!

If you get a mosquito bite press a hot spoon onto the spot, the heat will destroy the itching and reaction of the bite!

7. Need a drink to be cold fast?

Take a wet paper towel, wrap it around the drink and stick it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Wha-la!

8. How to play happy birthday on your phone:

Dial 112163 112196 11#9632 969363, not as good as a piano, but it works!

9. A text from NASA

NASA will email/text you when the international Space Station is flying over your location. (How Cool!)

10. Filming a video at a concert with your phone?

Place your finger over the speaker, and later when you listen to it, it will sound clearer.

11. Don’t know what to get someone for their birthday?

Have them guess 3 different times of “the gift you got them” and there you go! Three things he/she wants!

12. If you have something to remember in the morning...

Send yourself a text before bed with a list of what you need to remember, but don’t open it until the morning.

13. Having trouble deciding something?

Flip a coin, not necessarily to decide for you, but while the coin is in the air is when you’ll realize what you really want.

14. If you accidentally close a tab, don’t stress!

Pressing ctrl-shift-t reopens it! This comes in handy when you least expect it!

15. Chew gum while studying!

If you chew gum while studying, then chew the same flavor when you take the test it can help you remember what you studied.

16. If you can't figure out what to cook...

Go to www.Supercook.com you can enter any series of ingredients you have and it will tell you a list of meals/goods you can make and how to make them.

17. If you're looking for a way to save money on weekly shopping

Go to Lozo.com you cab put in everything youre shopping for on your list and it will give coupons for each item

18. Have you ever watched a TV show/Movie and wished you owned that one super-cute outfit

On those binge Netflix days, remember ever seeing an outfit a character was wearing you’d love to have? There’s a website called wornonTV.net that finds the exact clothes and even lists where to buy them!

19. Need to concentrate or have trouble concentrating on something?

Go to RainyMood.com and it will sound like it’s raining outside, perfect for a sleepless night or study sesh!

20. Can’t find something to watch on Netflix?

Go to NetflixRoulette.net and enter your interests, click the spin icon, and they will give you something awesome to watch (This one I definitely need to try).

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.

Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
