How to Fold a Foam Mattress
Foam mattresses are very popular for a number of reasons. They are super plush and offer good support during sleep. Unfortunately a foam mattress is not the most fun thing to deal with if you are moving or need to get rid of it for some other reason. You might think that they are difficult to fold and store. Fear not: It doesn't require that many steps to gain this new skill.

I don’t just like minimalism for the aesthetic of it. It also just feels amazing as a lifestyle. It’s not always about having less things, or a clean room, but about how clear and light you feel when you’ve stripped every factor of your life down to the bare essentials.

How to Kick in a Door
We've all been there. You're walking down the street when you hear a scream, and you see a gang of black clad men jump in a van before driving away from a burning building with the tires squealing. You run up to help, and the trapped Olympic women's volleyball team inside screams that all the doors are locked and they can't get out. Do you dig into your pocket, break out your phone and heroically call 911? Or do you kick in the door and save the day?

How to be Successful in College
People will tell you many things about how you can achieve success while in college. One common thing in all the stories is that everyone has a different story or routine that they guarantee will work for you.

But, these people never consider that you prefer to study during the day and at night. Routines are different and you need to develop certain habits for you to attain consistent success in college.
