If your AC in your dorm is inadequate of just nonexistent this is the trick for you. You can cool your room down instantly by hanging a damp towel in a window. If your room has a fan set it to run counter clockwise. Which creates an updraft, for the best cooling experience.<\/p>\n<p>#2. <strong>No- cook scrambled eggs!<\/strong> Being a commuter student and I&#8217;m sure dorm students also, don&#8217;t always have access to the kitchen. So all you need is a microwave and a mug. Crack a few eggs, microwave for 90 seconds, remove, stir, microwave for another 90 seconds, the Bon Appetite!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2014\/01\/ocee.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1250\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/2014\/01\/26\/the-best-of-both-worlds-life-hacks\/ocee\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2014\/01\/ocee.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"250,202\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ocee\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2014\/01\/ocee.jpg\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1250\" alt=\"ocee\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2014\/01\/ocee.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"202\" \/><\/a>#3.<strong>Brew Coffee without a\u00a0coffee maker!\u00a0<\/strong>Don&#8217;t have a coffee maker or money for that oh so expensive Starbucks? Here is the trick&#8230; Use a disposable cup, filter and rubber band to make a one size fits all filter ,for your favorite mug! Just add some hot water and your ready to brew.<\/p>\n<p>#4.<strong>College isn&#8217;t the best\u00a0atmosphere to get a good nights sleep<\/strong> but fear not,\u00a0the body&#8217;s natural sleep\u00a0cycles are regulated \u00a0by exposure to light. So when its time for bed lights out or get a mask to cover your eyes ( because that pesky room mate always stays up all night).<\/p>\n<p>Just remember spring break is just a few short weeks away, keep up the good work, stay healthy, and get some sleep!<\/p>\n<p>XOXO, Kailee<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everyone!
