ReplyDeleteMy favorite life hack suggested in the link was to make the lock screen on your phone your class schedule.

ReplyDeleteLife Hacks are actually something I am very familiar with. I've seen them all over social media and in many youtube videos. Most of the hacks on the website weren't new to me. One hack that I found fascinating was the hack where you can use a pen to hold your book or text book open. This is actually one of my problems when it comes to reading or studying. This will definitely calm the anger of the book closing every minute and me trying to re-find the page. Thank you LifeHacks!!
ReplyDeleteOne life hack that I love that wasn't on the website is to use a piece of tape on your face while applying makeup on for a sharper, cleaner look.
