Well, it’s been one heck of a run but as the semester draws
to a close so too does my class-required Life Hack blog. Life Hacks Lab is a weekly
blog required for my class, Writing Across the Media 2. I was tasked with
coming up with a weekly blog to teach me how to write for the web. I figured
testing out life hacks would be a fun way to fulfil my blog requirements. I
wasn’t wrong.
With all that being said, this will be my last post to Life
Hacks Lab. I decided it would be a fitting end to look back on my favorite life
hacks. I’m lucky. My blog actually provided me with a few handy tricks I can
continue to use in my life. Today I will be presenting you with my top five
favorites.
This hack was one of the first few that I did. I chose to
film myself trying to break the apple in half. I figured it would be better
than showing pictures and just writing that I had broken the apple. This was fun
because I didn’t end up filming very many of the hacks I tested. I also just
really like this hack. Sure, you could cut the apple with a knife but any
random Joe can do that. If you want to impress people, break the apple in half
with your bare hands!
I like this hack because of how useful it is. I get meals
from fast-food restraints all the time. I find it just really cool that the
lids of fast-food cups double as coasters. It not something I think a lot of
people know. At the very least, you could show someone this hack and impress
them.
Okay, so maybe this isn’t the most useful life hack I’ve
done but I did enjoy making it. I thought it was really creative to cut a milk
jog into a shovel. I actually have a bit of an update for this hack. The shovel
doesn’t really work very well in the ground but it might just work as a flour
or sugar scoop in the kitchen. If you measure out how much flower the milk jug
shovel can hold it can make an effective scoop. I haven’t actually tried it because
I can’t find the scoop but it would seem to work in theory.
This life hack was the one where you sharpen the back of a
pencil to get to the rest of the eraser under the metal piece. I had to put
this one on the list. Not only did I think of it myself but I also use it all
the time at my tutoring job. Having the eraser last longer prolongs the usage
of pencil.
It’s no secret that I loved this hack. Holding a cellphone
in a car with a rubber band is very helpful for me. I still use this hack when
I need to get somewhere new and don’t have someone in the car with me to
navigate. This hack is the best hack I discovered online this year.
That’s it then. I have had a wonderful time testing out life
hacks here on Life Hack Lab. Thank you to anyone who has read my blog. Let me
know in the comments what your favorite hack was from this blog. Maybe I’ll
read it!
