Picking the right holiday gifts for the people in your life can be a challenge. Some people want practical items, others want gift cards or cash, and then there are the people who need something a bit more specific.

Alix NicolePublished 6 years ago in Lifehack 10 Best Morning LifeHacks
We all know the struggle — you're tired, it's early, you're in your nice warm bed and don't want to leave. Mornings can be hard! But what you might not know yet is that there are a few simple ways to make your life just that little bit easier in the mornings.
Don't Just Shop, Be Smart at It!
With the economy fluctuating like a roller-coaster ride over the past few years, the inflation rates are huge and the prices for everything are going up by the day. That holds true for the stuff we use on a daily basis like groceries, toiletries, baby products, stationery, medicines, etc. Even when it comes to travelling or taking loans, things have become a bit on the steeper side for the average earner. In such a scenario, how can one help himself and his pocket? Does he stop buying the stuff that he needs? Does he stop stepping out of the house for an occasional vacation?

Hello everyone. These days everyone needs a computer. From work to fun, it is a necessity. But while there are many cheap older computers available, generally they fail because of the demands of modern technology. So what I had in mind was to create a cheap build, using only the parts I had available around the house. The great thing about this build is that you can replace anything in this list except the USB hub and the processor and it will work as a charm. This is what I came up with (note that the Raspberry Pi was the only new thing I bought, the rest was available). If you want to build an exact replica of mine go below. Note that this is a workstation build for gaming and video editing; the processor requirement will go up considerably so look elsewhere.
Abdullah MasoodPublished 6 years ago in Lifehack5 Ramen Hacks for College Kids
Take your ramen to the next level with these super easy and delicious tricks. 1. Add Real Ingredients For college students, ramen noodles are a main course meal (well that and easy-mac but that's not the point). From time to time we need something REAL, not the artificial peas and freeze dried meat that usually comes with our ramen. One hack that can really take your noodles to a different level is adding some authentic ingredients. I'm not saying that ramen isn't real, but the things that are thrown in aren't exactly fresh. Now for me my cafeteria has a serve yourself salad bar with chicken, carrots, peas, etc. So to obtain some fresh ingredients, your own cafeteria is your best bet. Cut up some chicken, throw in some onions, go wild and make that 65 cent cup noodle a gourmet meal.
