While there is no guaranteed way to ease the challenges that come with going to college, we can try.\u00a0With the fall semester right around the corner, now is the perfect time to try out some of the following tips and tricks to improve the college experience both academically and socially.<\/p>\n<p>Every college student knows that waking up for class can be a real drag; especially when the class is nothing but lectures about who knows what. Though nothing sounds better than being wrapped up in fluffy sheets and snuggling with your favorite stuffed animal, students have to go to class. Dreaming about Ryan Gosling can wait.<\/p>\n<p>Tip number one for successfully waking up for class: set an alarm.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/365222_1702.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11456\" alt=\"365222_1702\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/365222_1702.jpg?resize=400%2C215\" width=\"400\" height=\"215\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But, avoid setting an alarm that awakens you with your standard \u201cbeep\u201d noise. Instead, pick a song. For iPhone users, one has the option of selecting a song from his or her iTunes library, which will begin to play at the time he or she set their alarm. The song you choose can set the mood for the day and will ultimately get you up and going.<\/p>\n<p>Now, a smart phone may make a great alarm clock, but it can also be a great study device.\u00a0When downloaded from the app store, \u201cQuizlet,\u201d a tool that makes personal flashcards, can save you time, energy and carpal tunnel. Let\u2019s face it, no one has the patience or the will power to make hundreds of flashcards.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/3-nexus-4-2.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11457\" alt=\"3-nexus-4-2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/3-nexus-4-2.jpeg?resize=400%2C212\" width=\"400\" height=\"212\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nQuizlet is essentially an app\/website that allows users to make online flashcards by either copying and pasting material, or typing it out. This makes studying super easy and convenient because students don\u2019t physically have to haul around tons of flashcards and materials that will most likely get lost in your dorm room.<\/p>\n<p>Students think, \u201cHow on earth does one lose things in a tiny 10X10 dorm room?\u201d But it is inevitable. For the next seven months, students share a bathroom with dozens of other people and sweating profusely when the air conditioner decides not to work.<\/p>\n<p>To cool down a muggy room, place a cold damp towel over an open window.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/325026_9503.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11459\" alt=\"325026_9503\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/325026_9503.jpg?resize=400%2C200\" width=\"400\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAs for sharing a bathroom with dozens of other smelly people, well, hold your breath and deal with it. However, if your dorm room possesses a funky smell, measures can be taken.<\/p>\n<p>Take a fresh, scented dryer sheet and tape it over your AC unit or fan to ensure that your dorm room will not be labeled as \u201cThe smelly dorm room.\u201d Students don\u2019t want to be labeled as, \u201cThe person who always sets off the fire alarm at 2:00 in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11460\" alt=\"dryer-sheets\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/dryer-sheets.jpg?resize=400%2C266\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tip number five: don\u2019t attempt to cook if you don\u2019t know how to cook.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11461\" alt=\"cooking-pizza-without-tray-fail\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/cooking-pizza-without-tray-fail.jpg?resize=383%2C231\" width=\"383\" height=\"231\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are those people out there who continuously tell themselves, \u201cI\u2019m a wonderful cook.\u201d When in reality, the only dish they successfully \u201ccook\u201d is cereal. When cooking cereal is getting a bit old, try a simple recipe that is sure to be a success.<\/p>\n<p>Grab a friend who knows their way around the kitchen, and dish out a new and improved version of the classic Ramen noodles. Add vegetables, crushed red pepper, green onions, Sriracha sauce, or whatever. This will not only create a delicious masterpiece, but also serve as an alternative to Doritos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/608749_57065300.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11462\" alt=\"608749_57065300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/608749_57065300.jpg?resize=400%2C297\" width=\"400\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Without mothers telling students to \u201cput down the chips,\u201d it\u2019s easy to become susceptible to unhealthy eating.\u00a0In order to avoid this, and ultimately packing on the pounds, take advantage of the wellness center, and fitness classes offered throughout the school year.
