While walking down the Commons on their way to their next hour, people might have thought “How am I ever going to go through one more day of this?” For those of you out there who are having a tough time surviving high school, people have thought of life hacks (like game cheats) to help you out.

Technology Help
Having to charge your iPad frequently for school can get annoying and time-consuming, so here is a little tip: putting iPad on Airplane Mode while charging helps the charging time go faster. Another iPad related cheat is that you can get a list of recently closed tabs by press and holding the ‘+’ sign in Safari.

Go Old Fashioned…Write it Down
If you have an upcoming quiz or exam and you need to study for it, write notes down! Writing things down on a piece of paper with a pen or a pencil helps people remember important information better. It would also help to write notes as if it was being written for someone else.

Challenging Fonts vs Arial
When studying, avoid easy-to-read fonts like Arial. Large, easy-to-read are likely to be skimmed over while information presented in a hard, challenging font is more likely to be retained. However, if you need to read something within a short amount of time, Times New Roman is the fastest font to read.

Ditch All-Nighters
Research shows that sleeping helps with long-term memory. To be more specific, sleeping right after you studied helps with the growth of dendritic spines that facilitate long-term memory. So procrastinate with the procrastination and study beforehand to get a good night sleep. Ditch the all-nighters and catch some zzz’s.

Smile!
Sometimes life can get tough and it may seem like everything’s horrible; if that happens, just smile. Many experiments have reached a conclusion that smiling can nudge you in the direction of being happy. The science behind it is that when facial muscles change into an expression, biochemical processes are changed according to their temperature change, and a cooler brain creates good emotions. So when life gets the best of you, smile.
