If you want bonus entries

there is a link, down below

so..check it out!

Let's get this video to 50,000 thumbs up!

Because we are doing 50 Hacks..50,000 seems appropriate

That would be amazing!

I appreciate every single thumbs up, you guys give me!

And without further ado..

let's jump straight to the video

And if you guys stay till the end

(like you guys are amazing)

Let's go!

For a super convenient 'To Do-List'..

stick a bunch of Post It notes, onto a board

And that way, once you are done

you can rip it off

and have have a fresh 'To Do-List' every day

the bonus is, they're all sticky

so you can stick them around

to remind you, so you don't forget to do this

When you start a new subject

try leaving the first couple of pages blank

..in your notebook

so that you can go back and add a table of contents later..

For better note-finding when you need to study for your exams!

I love writing in black ink,

But actually..

It's easier to remember things when it's written in blue ink

So write your notes that you need to study for

.. in blue ink

If you have a bunch of notebooks

they all can seriously look the same from the top

so you can try colouring the top corner of each of the notebook

so you always know which subject it's for when you're looking in your bag.

If you're writing an essay, and you're done!

But you're like.. a couple of words away from the word count

And it's like.. that is so frustrating.

Instead of going in and like trying to make some sentences longer

You can actually add a few extra words at the end of your paragraphs

And then highlight them to turn them into white text

That way the word count is actually going to be more

But you can't actually see it.

But do this at your own risk guys because I don't think you guys should do it for like large chunks of words.

I just thought it was really cool to share though..

If your essay is too long,

You could actually try adding white dashes

Between your words to lessen the word count as well...

And again, use this at your own risk.

To make your essay look visibly longer,

try getting all the full-stops and changing them to a larger font-size.

It actually works!

When doing your spell check, and it comes up with 'revise fragment',

All you need to do is add a semi-colon (somewhere in the sentence)

If you want a nifty folder organizer,

try using a dish washer Rack

There is also space to put your pencil tins at the front!

I think that's super cool

Instead of searching for information on google,

try using scholar.google.com

For much better educational resources.. (and not just like random blog posts)

If you're stuck on finding references for a certain topic or anything,

try picking one amazing book,

go to the bibliography and you can find other books and sources you can use as well.

If you have a quote from a book that you want to use, but you don't know the page number for your citations,

You can actually try searching for it in Google Books..

It will actually tell you what page it's comes from

(this is way better than just like flipping through the book forever trying to find it)

If you're reading a lot on a computer,

it can become so tiring..

So you can actually use the speech function on your computer

On Mac, right click -> "Speech" -> "Start speaking".

You can also do this for essays to check if you have any errors in them,

as a way of proof reading after you finish writing them.

Do you need a whiteboard? But don't have one?

Try using a picture frame.

You can use a whiteboard marker right on that, and it's perfect. and it could even be prettier.

If you don't know how to solve a maths equation,

You want someone to teach you, but you don't have a tutor.

Try using www.wolframalpha.com

and www.mathway.com

They can pretty much solve and explain any equation for you. Like, I was mind blown at the amount of stuff they had on these sites, so try that.

To remember the decimals of Pi,

just count the letters of the sentence:

"may I have a large container of coffee"

which is "3.1415926"

I can now remember it. This blew my mind. This is amazing!

If you have smelly shoes after gym class

and let's be real, we all get smelly shoes (i don't think it's an if)

try taking two teabags and put them in your shoes before you pack them away.

That way, they won't smell up your locker or your bag.

You're welcome.

If you run out of deodorant,

try using hand sanitizer on your armpits instead.

The smell is actually caused by bacteria mixed with sweat.

So if you don't have as much bacteria on your skin, it''s less likely to smell.

The other thing you can do is rub lime juice until its dry

This keeps the smell away by increasing the pH level of your skin,

To the point where bacteria can't even breathe

A really great idea is assemble an emergency kit and keep it in your bag.

You can put pads, band-aids, lip-balm, comb, hair-ties, deodorant and like anything else

you want to keep in your bag.

For emergency touch-ups, like I would put eyeliner and concealer in there as well

And you'll be ready for any situation.

If you have deodorant but need to remove nail polish

you can actually use the deodorant

to remove your chipped nail polish

which is really cool!

Deodorant is also a great thing to use

as an emergency itchy bite soother,

if you have like a bug bite or something.

Because the alcohol content in it can actually disinfect

and soothe the bite.

And while I'm filming this

this dog kept coming up to me and dropping his ball and saying like please throw it, please throw it so yah... I had to throw it for him it was so much fun

Also if you accidentally get sharpie stains on your hand like seriously it is way more common than you think

You can actually remove it with nail polish remover and a cotton ball
