Life Hack Lab

This week I’ve found a couple school-related life hacks.

Write Multiple Lines at Once:

 

This first life hack is for all the 1^st to 5^th graders who totally read my blog. Are you tired of suffering through writing line after line of how you will never do that one thing you did wrong ever again? Don’t put up with this cruel yet not-so-unusual torture! Stick it to the man with this fantastic hack that will multiply your efficiency and have you finish your sentence of sentences in a fraction of the time.

It turns out you can write multiple lines of the same sentence at one time if you use more than one writing utensil. I used four pencils to test out this life hack. I have to admit; my mind was blown when I tried out this life hack. This is a really cool trick. Is it practical? Not at all. Take a look at some of my attempts to make this hack work.

 

It was actually hilariously difficult to make a few sentences that looked somewhat decent. The pencils kept slipping and sliding in different directions. Sometimes some of the pencils would stop making contact with the paper halfway through a sentence and I would have to start all over again.

Even if you’re a grade-schooler whose teacher is forcing them to write lots of lines over and over, you aren’t going to fool your teacher with this trick. Even if you manage to get all of your pencils connecting to the page correctly, your teacher will notice that every four sentences look exactly the same. You’ll be forced to write, “I will not use life hacks to cheat on my punishments,” one hundred times.

This life hack is a fail. It technically works but it looks just awful.

 

Highlighter to Remove Permanent Marker:

This next life hack I found online says you can remove permanent marker from your skin more effectively by covering it with highlighter ink first. I put a line of permanent marker on both of my hands to test it out. The mark on my left hand received a coating of highlighter ink while my right hand did not.

After that, I washed my hands with soap. In the end, neither mark washed off any easier than the other. As you can see from the photo below, my hands were both left with basically the exact same ghostly permanent marker stain.

This permanent marker life hack is a fail.

Plus, this hack will totally wreck your highlighter.

 

 

I guess this was a tough week for life hacks. I ended up failing both of my attempted hacks. Come back next week to see if I can’t find some life hacks that actually work.
