How about a few life hacks to make college a little easier….

1. Use your straightener as an iron.Ladies, this is a poor college students’ life saver. 

2. Eat bread after taking a shot.First of all, it soaks up any bad after taste. Secondly, if you forgot to eat, problem solved.

3. Heat up your eyeliner for an intense smudge.Eyeliner is hard enough, now you want us to involve fire? 

4. Mix a pack of hot chocolate with your morning coffee to create a poor college students’ mocha. It’s freaking delicious and also cheap. 

5. Use the “female” side of the doorknob (the slot the latch goes into) as a bottle opener.… so many jokes to me made here. 

6. SHOWERBEER!Because sometimes you just don’t have the time to pregame and shower separately.  

7. Hang a car freshener (or dryer sheet) over your A/C to make your room smell better.Everyone has had a funky smell in their room at some point, don’t try to pretend otherwise. 

8. Use miscellaneous items as speakers for your phone in a pinch.It’ll make you look cool, I promise. 

9. Go to the grocery store after you’ve already eaten, you will typically buy less junk and more healthy foods. *puts down chocolate*

10. If your hair is greasy and you don’t have time to wash it, throw some baby powder in your hair. Or if you’re just too lazy to wash your hair, you Boone hippie.
