I will be the first to admit that college life is not easy. Getting thrown into the real world made me realize how clueless I was about everyday activities such as cooking, grocery shopping, studying, cleaning, etc. I find myself turning to the internet to find the majority of my solutions to these problems, which is not always the best option. However, I have found some really great life hacks throughout my experience that have made my life simpler so of course, I have to share them with you! Below I am going to list 10 of the life hacks I believe will be the most useful.
