When your next laundry-day comes, just put the used boxers and socks with the laundry in the machine, they won't hardly make a noticable difference in weight, but you save some money since you can use the underwear several times.
aa... uhhh.. what... See, I would have been shocked to hear that there are people in the world who have ever thrown out a pair of socks or underpants without washing them first.But you're actually talking about washing your fucking clothes as if it's an amazing new development in the wonderful world of technology. Are you telling me that you were like "oh woww what the fuck this is the best idea ever" when you first thought of washing your clothes?? Have you gone spent thousands of dollars on underpants in your lifetime? Really???

Not to mention that one should always wash new clothes before using them to get rid of all the extra chemicals like pesticides f.e., as those chemicals are really not good for your health.

Either that or you just don't drink enough water. If your urine is very yellow you need to drink more H2O.

I was so happy with the "crack an egg on a flat surface" tip from page 1, I decided to add my own.
Whenever you get something in your eye (a speck of dust, a grain of sand, one of those little suicidal flies): close *the other eye*. Since the eye with stuff in it is your only remaining eye to see with, that eye will go into gosu survival mode, blinking like crazy, producing tears. This will get the alien object out in no time. Way faster then rubbing your eye, which just adds to the frustration and does not remove the object at all.
I'm so confident in this, I even use this when I ride my bike full speed. Takes incredible courage, I know I know

On a similar note to this, if one of your eyes becomes injured (via tennis ball to the face, or a punch, etc) cover and close your other eye. Your eyes move in tandem. If you keep the non-injured eye open, your injured eye will try to move with it when you look around - this can cause unnecessary damage to the already hurt tendons, etc in your eye socket.
If you keep the uninjured eye covered and closed, you will look around less and prevent most, if not all, of the extra damage from just moving your eye.

If you really need to get some clothes dry quickly, after squeezing as much water as you can out of them, roll them up in a towel and jump on it for a little bit. Should be at most damp after a little bit.

Clothes seem to deteriorate and get dirtier faster as you get older. I can't explain it. During my teens, they would always renew themselves on a weekly basis, with the added bonus of being enveloped in a fresh and delicious scent. As I grew older, however, they quickly lost this capability. The dirt and smell quickly piled up and no matter what I did, the freshness never returned.
Nowadays I Febreeze everything to save money. But that only makes your clothes last a few more weeks at best. What can I do? I've tried different clothes hangers, baskets, neon and fluorescent lights, creative folding patterns... nothing has worked.

If you're going to live on your own for the first time take the time to make delicious meals and don't eat crappy food just because you "feel" like making real dinners is limiting your free time while you're doing lots of school work/a job. An artificial frozen pizza fuck might take 2 minutes and a gourmet stir fry might take 20 + cleanup, but real meals re-energize you so much more and are worth the time/money investment in the long run... unless you are totally broke and your goal is to survive, then just go with frozen crap.
To add to this, look for deals on meat at your local grocery store. My local store has a deal that's 5 meats (at or under a certain weight) for $20. Add that with a box of instant mashed potatoes + milk and butter and you've got dinner covered for the next few weeks for under $30.
Plus home cooked meals are way better than fast food or a frozen pizza and they are cheaper.
and always make sure you check the quality of the meat before buying it

set 2 alarm clocks, one 1 hour before the time you want to get up and the other one when you want to get up (maybe it's just me but it's impossible for me to wake up with only 1 alarm clock). Also eat apple instead of coffee in the morning to wake yourself up, it works.

++ Go into a Wal-Mart. Find the lightbulbs. See that Great Value bulb? See that GE bulb? Both of
those bulbs were made by GE. Probably in the same plant. Lots of store brand stuff is like this. Overthe-
counter pharmacy stuff especially.
This. Buying store brand items saves you a ton of money over time and most of the time you are getting the same product.
I have a friend that worked for a grocery store and he would tell me that a lot of their store brand items were repackaged name brand items.

In case of dirt in your eye: squint while your eye is doing the required automagic cleanup (which will take ~5secs). In case of a tennis ball or a punch... good question!

For oral hygiene:
Brush your tongue. Do it. It makes your breath smell better, especially if you get the back of it.
If you have slightly yellow teeth, using a towel to polish them works like a charm.

It's actually an infection in your kidney. ...seriously...? Either that or you just don't drink enough water. If your urine is very yellow you need to drink more H2O.
This is wrong, urine should be yellow, if the urine is white, THEN it means that you don't drink enough water (doesn't make any logical sense, I know, but thats the way it is.!

Nah, white urine means there's an excess of amorphous phosphate crystals in your urine, it's a benign condition though. Dark yellow urine indicates dehydration, while colorless urine indicates overhydration.

When you get up in the middle of the night to pee, keep one eye closed the entire time. Once you get back into your pitch dark room, open the eye you've had closed the entire time and enjoy nightvision and not bumping into anything.
Your eye only needs a couple seconds to adapt to light, but minutes to adapt to the dark.
