College life is tough. It is even tougher because you tend to live away from your family who would normally help you in your daily needs and do stuff for you to make life easier. There are, however, some hacks in independent living that lessen the difficulties.

Eating sandwiches is a very common thing in college. It is the easiest and fastest food to prepare. However, cutting cheese can be a drag. Instead of using a knife, try using floss or a clean string. This should let you avoid cleaning the knife rigorously.

You can also try eating seasoned popcorns. College life means saving up some money. Popcorn is one of the cheapest foods available. Season it with pepper and rosemary, and you can trick your mouth into thinking that you just had some great food in your mouth.

If you are using an old laptop and it heats up easily, you can save money from buying those fans by using cup holders. It will neutralize the heat and will prevent your legs from getting toasted.

Taking out trash can be a problem if it leaks. Use some old newspapers and spread them at the bottom of your trash bin. They can absorb food juices and prevent any possibilities of leaks. Plus, you can finally get rid of those stacks of newspapers.

If you find it hard to come up with a grocery list, it would be best to simply take a picture of your fridge when it is fully loaded. You get an instant grocery list by doing this, or take a picture before you leave for groceries so you know the stuff you already have.
