Let's face it, we need all the help we can get.

We're college students on the verge of adulthood, and on top of worrying about schoolwork, we've got to juggle a social life, work, a healthy diet, and learning how to spend money wisely (do NOT buy that game with your gas money!).

Hopefully, these five tips/life hacks will manage to make life a little bit easier. I only wish someone had told me about them sooner!


1. Rolling up clothes instead of folding them

Running out of space in your dresser? Try rolling up your clothes to save space! This is also a handy trick when packing a suitcase for trips.

2. Using towels to cool down

If your room is hot and stuffy, hang a damp towel over an open window!

3. Microwave two things at once

If you're in a hurry, try using a microwavable mug to warm up two things at once!

I promise this won't happen:

4. Food in a mug

Cooking has never been easier! Just throw the ingredients in, follow the recipe, and microwave!

5. The power of Bounce

If your dorm room's starting to smell bad, tape a dryer sheet over the vent or AC unit and turn it on! Your room will be smelling fresh in no time!

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.
