The Roll Method Duvet Cover Hack

Closet Space-Saving Hack

If you've got gazillion clothing items, this one is for you. Use tabs from soft drink cans to convert your hangers into vertical hangers. Extra space at no cost!



Shower Cleaning Hack

Save time cleaning your bathroom while you wash your hair and put on that conditioner/hair mask ladies and gentlemen. Don't forget to use that baking soda and vinegar to clean every surface while at it. (dish soap works too!)



Alarm Hack

Do you set 10 alarms and STILL hit snooze every time? Put your phone inside a glass and you'll have your loudest alarm ever. We don't think you will miss any early morning classes.

Time Management Hack

Use Notion or Google Calendar to organize your day.

Microwave Hack

Want to heat 2 bowls at the same time? Put your first bowl in the microwave and then put a coffee mug upside down next to it. Place your second bowl on top of the coffee mug.

GPA or Grade Hack

First-year uni is when you want to rack up that easy A! Take the pressure away from later years as the first year usually is a breeze. It's called balancing, you're welcome.



Towel Hack for Summer

Hang a damp towel to cool down the stuffy dorm room during summer. A more economical and sustainable way to cool down.

Dryer Sheet Hack

Does your dorm smell funny sometimes? Tape a dryer sheet over your ac unit and turn it on, instant freshener. This hack also works with a fan.

Another Microwave Hack

Reheat bread or pizza with a glass of water. It prevents the dough from getting too chewy and the toppings to dry out.
