Life can be a mess sometimes and confusing to say the least. So why not try a few of these things when life becomes less than perfect. Here are six life-hacks to help you out.


1. Scattered bobby pins be-gone.


It's hard to keep track of bobby pins, like unbelievable hard. And once you have taken them off the package they come on, there is no good way to keep them and store them. Until now! Buy a cheap stick-on magnetic strip from Walmart, cut a piece off and stick it to a place where you get ready (vanity, by your bed, desk, ect.) and viola! You're bobby pins are up and ready to go.


2. Scarf storage.

Okay, we all know scarves are a must-have for fall and winter seasons. But when you have 10--or 50 scarves it can be a hassle to store them all. Not any more! Simply purchase some cheap shower rings to an old hanger and you now have something to hang all your scarves on. Just slide each scarf on a ring and hang in your closet. Boom! Instant scarf organizer and it's so easy to do.


3. Bathroom stalls that won't stay latched.


This is the best life-hack ever! Most of us will encounter a bathroom stall that won't latch along the way, so what do you do if you HAVE to use that stall and you don't want the door to sing open? Simply put a hair tie around the latch and you're good to go!


4. Pricey make-up brushes.


Why buy a billion pricey make up brushes? Get two-in-one with this simple hack.


5. Broken flip-flops.

We all know the struggle of the broken flip-flop. When your beloved pals decide it's time to rip. Simple fix? Place a bread tag around the part that stick out of the bottom and it will no longer rip through the broken hole. This may only be a temporary fix but it works until you can get a new pair.


6. Shaving cuts.


We've all done it. This easy trick will stop the bleeding almost immediately.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
