Set your alarm for earlier. And I mean like 2 hours earlier. Take that time to go to the gym. As PsychFreak said, regular exercise. For me, it doesn't help me sleep any longer, just _better_. More efficient, shall we say. Because I won't go to the gym later in the day if I'm tired - I have to do it while I'm not yet conscious.\n\n2. Change your alarm tone every couple weeks! You will start desensitizing to the sound over time, and it will make it easier to sleep through or snooze it. \n\n3. Go to bed at a regular time. I get like six hours of sleep on a good night, but I try to make it in bed at the same time so my body sticks to a routine. The only problem is, you gotta keep it up on the weekends. \n\nHope this helps!", "If you drink a lot of water before you go to bed you'll wake up having to take a piss, forcing you to get up.", "I would suggest the only way to fix this is to fix your sleeping schedule.\n\nI say this out of experience. \n\nI have had many many experiences where I would wake up at 12pm thinking \"O.M.G. my phone's alarm didn't work AGAIN!!!!!\" or I would wake up later to learn that my mom had turned off my alarm since it was going off for hours at 5am. \n\nOnce, I locked my room door, left my lights on, and had actual alarm clocks (not phone alarm) on full blast... only to learn at 11am that my mom was slamming my door and yelling at me to turn off the alarm at 7am because I was sleeping through my 3 alarms with her yelling and banging at the door. (at9am she turned off the breaker for the section of my house so people can go to sleep -_-). \n\nIt is amazing how much your body will ignore to give it the sleep it needs. \n\nIf this is the case, do yourself a favor and try to spend a little more time in sleep management, rather than alarm management. \n\ngl :D", "When I sleep I am temporarily dead. and boy do I have stories about this.

Turns out the building's security guard used a ladder to break into my (first-floor) apartment, let my parents in, and everyone gathers around and in all the commotion I gently awaken and wonder back at why everyone is staring at me.

Of course, the real fix is not to be so sleep-deprived, like everyone's saying, but I'm going to assume that you can't manage this (I couldn't when I was a full-time student). In addition to the good advice like putting your phone across the room, using sleepy.ti.me etc., I suggest 1) chugging a glass of water (~12oz) when you wake up. If you're driving yourself into sleep deprivation, I'm willing to bet that you're a bit on the stressed/malnourished/dehydrated side as well (this makes you even more sluggish). The water will help hydrate you a bit so even if you go back for a nap, you'll at least be more \"with it\" the second time you wake up. And the act of getting up and drinking something alone might help. Another thing that's worked for me is 2) two alarms, one 90 minutes minutes before the second when I HAVE to wake up.

Your current habit is likely waking up when your alarm goes off, then hitting the snooze button. Your brain isn't fully conscious when you wake up, so you don't really have control over this.\n\nNow this is going to sound stupid but I promise it works. You have to teach yourself a new reaction to the sound of your alarm. The way to do this is to practice getting up when your alarm goes off. Not in the morning when your brain is all foggy, but in the afternoon or evening when you're wide awake. Brush your teeth, do whatever you do right before you go to bed, then get in bed and set your alarm for 5 minutes later. Close your eyes and pretend you're asleep. Then when your alarm goes off, you immediately turn it off, get up and get dressed. You should repeat this process a few times, how often you need to do it is different for everyone. \n\nThis way you're conditioning yourself: alarm goes off -> get up. alarm goes off -> get up. Alarm goes off -> get up. You won't need any discipline in the early morning when all you might really want to do is stay in bed, because getting up kind of happens on autopilot.\n\nGood luck! :)", "I have an alarm where people are talking.

When I'm cleaning up the ear lines, it helps that I have this [three-panel mirror] (http://common1.csnimages.com/lf/46/hash/16244/5127334/1/1.jpg) in my bathroom. I keep the middle mirror shut, and open the side panels a little more than 45 degrees. Then I put my head in between them. When I look at the right panel, I can see the reflection from the left mirror showing the left side of my head clearly, as if I were looking at somebody else's head from an angle that's more visible. And vice versa, looking at the left panel to view the right side of my head in the reflection of the right panel. The mirror set up is super helpful because it allows you to use both hands for your haircut, instead of one for a hand mirror and one for the shears. \nI normally shave the sides above my ears with [slanted ear guards.] (http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee136/suwarnaadi/hair/ElectricClippers.jpg) that were included in my shears kit. I use both the right and left ear guards for each ear, to eliminate as much as possible, any lines that are left by my cheap plastic Target guards. Using both L and R slanted guards on both ears also helps get angles that can't be reached by just one guard. This is only if you want a close shave above the ears. I do it because it looks clean. If you want length to your hair, just use scissors in a vertical angle when cutting that area. Almost never directly horizontal. Otherwise your hair will have horizontal lines because of the way it lies. \nTo clean the *line* above the ears, I take the guard off the electric shears, and run it perpendicular to my head along the ear line. Normally I hold down my ear with one hand and hold the shears in the other. \nTo address your original question about the neck line, this is where I *do* use a hand mirror in one hand, and the shears in the other. Take the guard off your shears. First, I look in the 3-way mirror setup and shave the bottom R and L of my neck line where I want the line to be. You're holding the shears [this way] (http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/61019/61019,1141616966,1/stock-photo-man-having-hair-on-his-neck-buzzed-with-clippers-1052587.jpg), not [this way] (http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/76219/76219,1317131678,130/stock-photo-man-having-a-haircut-with-a-hair-clippers-85476757.jpg) when you're marking your lines. After you have the lines marked, you can go back and shave [this way] (http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/76219/76219,1317131678,130/stock-photo-man-having-a-haircut-with-a-hair-clippers-85476757.jpg) to clean all the baby hairs below the line. Then I flatten the panels to make one big mirror. Face away from the big mirror, holding a little mirror in your hand as close to parallel to the big mirror as possible, without blocking the view with your head. The little mirror is going to be a little to the left or right of your head. Whichever side it's on, you're going to continue marking the line that you began earlier on that side with the shears, marking it further toward the middle of your neck. Repeat for the other side. To make sure they are even, at some point hold the small mirror directly parallel to the big mirror, but up above your head so that when you look into it, it appears you are looking *down* on your neck. You can see if the L and R side are even. You can hold the shears upside down in your other hand to fix the evenness of the line when you are viewing from this angle.\n\n", "I can't imagine this could be done by itself, but if it does, please enlighten me even more.\n\nwhen time comes i always prefer to pay at a good hairdresser and get a nice cut of my hair, instead of fiddling myself, if i mess up I coudn't bare the full shave.\n\nI wear my hear halflong, around 3-6cm's.", "Honestly there's no other way besides practice .

[ "A little secret of many appliances is that when you put them on their top setting, they operate above 100% for their design, which significantly reduces their life. But if you run them at their next highest setting, it is closer to their operating max, so they live longer.\n\nAs far as washing machines go, only turn on their water valves before a wash, then turn them off after. You want reliable valves to do this. Continual pressure from the water lines more quickly damages the solenoid valve and even the water pump. Also, when done with a wash, leave the lid open so they dry faster, this cuts down on internal rust.\n\nWater heaters do not last forever. What can double their life are what are called \"[sacrificial anodes](http://www.waterheaterrescue.com/Longevity/water-heater-anodes.html)\". They are screwed into the water heater on the top of the unit, and it is worth it to get a periodic service call just to put a new one in. So find out from the manufacturer or service guy how often they need replacement in your area.\n\nWhile still uncommon, having a water catch tub underneath your water heater will save a huge amount of grief, because when you water heat goes out, and it will, the water will damage walls, floors, rugs, etc., unless it is safely channeled outside.\n\n[A water softener](http://www.puretap.com/System%20images/install.gif) will go a long way to making your water taste and clean better. The two most popular kinds either use salt pellets or crystals, or large metal cylinders with salt in them. Pellets and crystals are cheaper.\n\nIn addition to a regular vacuum cleaner, I strongly recommend getting a less expensive wet/dry shop vacuum. You won't use it as often, but it is a godsend when you need to pick up wet spills. Also figure out carpet/rug floor space compared to hard flooring, as they have different cleaning needs.\n\nFind out from your neighbors if your area is prone to power glitches and surges, lightning, power outages, etc., and plan accordingly with surge suppressors, backup batteries, flashlights, etc. Also find out if your municipal water has had problems in past with cleanliness and odor.", "Filters, of all kinds change then regularly makes a huge difference in longevity of furnaces and humidifiers if it's built in and general air quality, and if you love somewhere cold shutting off and disconnecting hoses in winter", "There are good tips here already. Just wanted to add that you should look into a whole-house sediment filter. They're not that expensive, in fact installation would cost more than the unit itself. You can pick them up at Home Depot or your favorite home improvement store. They basically filter out the larger particles and keep them from reaching the valves and filters in your appliances and fixtures.", "By quality and do your research for appliances. Sometimes the cheaper appliance is better, sometimes it's the more expensive one. Also understand building codes and make sure they are installed properly, don't just take an inspectors word for it.

[ "My best advise is to buy a few cheap basics. Just what you need to get buy. Then save and buy quality pieces that you really like. Start with your bed (your comfort is important) then maybe a good sofa. Work your way around the apartment after that. \n\nYou can find some great buys at estate/garage sales if you know what to look for. I would only buy wooden or solid items there. Tables, kitchen wares, etc…, nothing with fabric for hygiene purposes. Also stores like Marshall’s, homegoods, and TJ maxx are a boon for home shopping. \n\nGood luck in your new place.", "Around here, Facebook Marketplace and local Facebook Buy Nothing groups are good options.

Put the word out that you are seeking furnishings and aren’t picky and offers will come. \n* On that note: don’t be picky. Start with function. Need a table? Take the first one you see. Give it away when something better comes along. Learn to paint and refinish. Even contact paper is a cheap way to make something look new. \n* IMO a mattress should be the thing you buy new.

That gives you time to catch some deals, and you don't feel pressured to buy something you're unsure about just to have something. \n\nI know some folks don't like used furniture, but I do recommend looking secondhand since it's hard to beat the value. I furnished my first apartment a few years ago for about $150 (not including the mattress & tv I already had) with furniture that's all solid wood and still looks great. The hard part about secondhand, though, is that it can take a bit of looking to find the really great stuff. It's fastest to check a variety of places whenever you're looking. \n\nAs others have said, Craigslist and Facebook marketplace are great for looking online, and you can also find gems at brick-and-mortar thrift stores. Normally, you'll have better luck driving to the nearest wealthy area and looking in their thrift stores.\n\n It can be a bit of a waiting game if you have a particular style you like, which is why it's nice to start looking a bit before you move. Don't be discouraged if there's nothing good the first few times, people are always getting rid of new stuff. You can also try widening your search area: when I needed a new laptop, I found a great deal 3 hours away. It was a pain driving that far, but it was close to a themepark so I brought a friend and we made a fun day of it. It's good practice to bring a friend or two to pickups for craigslist stuff anyway, so why not find something fun to do while you're out?\n\nOh, and another big thing whether you're buying new or used: don't let the original retail price of the object influence your decision!! Think of what things are worth to you and what you're able to pay then focus on those. If you look long enough, you can find free tables and $10 bookshelves if that's your budget. \n\n Also, if you're looking at new stuff, remember the psychological tricks stores try to use against you. A big one is that the MSRP you see on sale tags at the store is often a lie. They probably never sold it for that price, it's been \"20% off\" from day 1 but the higher original price on the tag tricks people into thinking it's a better product. Plus, it doesn't matter how much you're \"saving\", if you'd have to spend more than what you can afford, it's not a good deal. \n\nOh, one more: at the end of the day, you want your place to feel like your home, so don't feel bad for passing on something if you genuinely hate it, even if it's free. Also save a little of your budget for a couple pieces of quirky, fun decor that expresses you. It might seem silly, but stuff like a corgi pillow or kraken painting can really make a place feel like it's yours. If you're strapped for cash, you can find a diy or also ask a creative friend to make you something in exchange for cookies!", "Let's start with the one thing you **do** want to spend money on: your **mattress**.

[ "There are two th sounds in English - one voice and one breathed or voiceless. You have voiced th in 'the' and 'then', where you can feel your vocal cords vibrate if you place your hand on your throat as you produce the sound. Then there's voiceless as in 'thanks' and 'think' where no voice is produced.\n\nMore specifically, th is produced with the tongue protruding slightly between the top and bottom teeth and air being blown around it. Start with other fricative sounds like 's' - make the 's' sound and become aware of how you're producing it. You are using breath to make the sound by breathing past your raised tongue tip. Also try blowing your lips like a horse sound - with lips relaxed and air making them vibrate. You want to achieve the same use of breath with 'th'. Ensure your tongue is relaxed, almost floppy, and protrude it slightly between the teeth. Let your mouth hang open naturally. Blow air around your tongue like you did with the previous sounds. Aim for voiceless th first - don't activate the vocal cords, just breathe the sound. Practice this position multiple times before even attempting voiced, so it's committed to muscle memory. Then simply add the voice. To consolidate further, add this sound to the end of vowel sounds, then the beginning and then the middle (the hardest). You need to practice this sound in connected speech for it to actually be of any benefit. \n\nEg. Thahh, Thor, tho (as in thock), thoo, though, thurr, thee, thi (as in thick) etc\n\nIf this helped you at all, I could send you a list of these combos to work through.\n\nSource: speech teacher who has worked a lot with sound consolidation", "See a speech therapist... if these issues could be solved by reading a paragraph about how to make the sounds, then speech therapy wouldn't be an occupation.

[ "Some little tips:\n\n1. Swimming a few laps every other day really helps maintain good posture. \n\n2. When walking around, try to imagine that your head is being pulled upward from an imaginary string extending out of the top of your skull (like a marionette.)\n\n3. Also when walking, make sure the back of your hands are pointing outward, not forward. It doesn't seem like this would make a big difference, but overtime it helps you raise your shoulders.\n\n4. When stretching your back, don't think about it as flexing your spine into an arch, think about the motion as making space in between your ribs. ", "when you're driving, make sure your head touches the head rest. it helps keep you from slouching. i had really poor posture so when i first started doing this it was uncomfortable and kinda hurt at times but the longer i did it, the less and less it felt awkward.", "first, to establish my authority on this subject, I'm a physical therapist in the seattle area and the majority of my patients are usually those that are forced to spend way to much time stuck in front of a computer. \n\nok, so let's start by defining what \"good posture\" is. Good posture is when the weight of gravity pulls straight down through your body and allows all structures to distribute their weight through your feet and into the ground. This is enlightening because you can then test how \"good\" your posture really is by pushing directly down on your head (but usually shoulders, because nobody really likes there head being compressed). [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eesoXk_7Afk) is a quick video, its simple but can be very illuminating. Its important to note that this can be done while sitting too, the difference being that now the pressure should be distributed through the front part of your \"sit bones\" and your pelvic floor (taint), as well as your feet.\n\nok, so you've tested yourself, you probably buckle somewhere if you're still reading this. Now, the tricky part is correcting yourself. This is how I make my monies, because it is often easier said than done, we are creatures of habit and when we try to change those habits there are usually some speed bumps along the way.\n\nThat said there are two quick and dirty fixes that can help most people. The key is the pelvis, where the pelvis goes, the rest of the body will follow. \n\nWhen seated: do [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3A3MrZRhcU) if you find yourself just tightening up your lower back muscles, its because you aren't using a muscle called your psoas well enough and are instead just trying to arch your back. Try as best you can to keep this relaxed as you then begin to lift your heels off the ground (NOT ALL THE WAY OFF!) if you relax and just let it happen, your hips will tilt forward.\n\nWhen standing, squeeze your butt and your lower abdominals at the same time. if you realize you aren't breathing or are just using your chest/neck you are squeezing your upper abs and probably your diaphragm, and you don't want either of those.\n\nSwear to god, insurance companies pay us $200+ an hour to teach people to do that. Its so simple it should be a scam, but its not. \n\nOk, now the bad news. There really is NO perfect posture, if you hold a static position for an extended period of time, its not going to feel good. your body is designed to move, its how it \"greases its wheels.\" so get up every now and then and move. that will make you feel way better than standing still even in the best posture.", "Former male model here. Posture is everything.\n\nGood posture:\n\n* First, go to a chiropractor. Seriously, you'll crave every appointment and it's perfectly healthy for you. Most of your bad posture gets addressed here.\n* Second, stand with your back to the wall. Do your best to leave absolutely no space between your body and the wall behind you. You can test by having someone put their hand in between your back and the wall. The less space the better. It's impossible, but you can get close.\n* Third, walk around your house with a book on your head. It's actually pretty fun to do.\n\nGood luck to ya. :)\n", "Lat pull downs and rhomboid exercises.

Do olympic lifts and presses. Your posture will fix itself. \n\n", "If you have an office job, get a ball to sit on. \n\nTake up yoga, even if it's once a week. Makes you very conscious of your body's position and where you're bending from at all times.", "I've always slouched, and I catch myself walking like an ogre at least several times a day. What I do when I realize this, is I square up my shoulders and then tilt my head back slightly as though I'm looking down my nose at the peasants and plebs.", "I used to have horrible posture. What helped me:\n\n* shoulders back\n* strong back muscles (try flexing/contracting them while you're standing)\n* strong abs\n* open chest", "Good request, \n\nAnybody have tips for tall people too? When we stand up straight, we tend to hit our heads on things and I don't think wearing a helmet everywhere is an option.\n\nThe problem I face is that most things, like stuff on the counter, door handles, and other commonly manipulated items are out of sight when I stand up to my full height. (6'6\") it can get uncomfortable with my chin stuck to my neck. \n\nI like the idea of the imaginary string, that would work well with me. ", "The Alexander Technique is a straight-forward and helpful approach to maintaining natural, dynamic posture.", "When sitting at a desk using a computer, positioning the monitor close to the edge of the desk encourages you to sit back against the seat rather than arching your back and leaning forward.", "Tell someone you love and see regularly that you feel you have bad posture. They'll remind you, and just to get over how annoying that is to be reminded you'll train yourself to stop.", "Sit or stand with your desired posture and have someone put 2 strips of duct tape on your back in an X shape. When you slouch you will feel the tape tugging at your skin and the feeling/discomfort will remind you to sit up straight. It won't do anything for muscle fatigue but it will help remind you until those new muscles are working for you by default", "My boyfriend quoted 30 rock to inform me of my bad posture, so now I walk around and remind myself \"Shoulders back, Lemon.\"", "I squeeze my butt cheeks and then get \"proud\".\n\nSqueezing the cheeks tilts your pelvis into alignment and getting \"proud-chested\" aligns your spine to hips and lengthens the spine.\n\nMy girlfriend is a physical therapist and she approves of this method.", "I did ballet from elementary to the end of high school. My ballet teacher used to tell us to pretend that we have dangling hot earrings on that should not touch our shoulders. ", "A yoga teacher said to remember \"Heart first, not head first\" to remind yourself to pull your chest forward and follow your heart. ", "When you are walking, picture yourself wearing a cape.\n\nYou may also find that you develop a jaunty swagger.", "There's a belt that you wear around your waist that monitors your pelvic tilt and reminds you to straighten unworn you're slouching. I helped Kickstarting it and have one: it actually works decently. Whenever your posture is bad for 10 seconds, the belt will vibrate as a reminder. A friend of mine tested it and both he and his wife liked it so much they got their own. Personally, I think it works when I'm sitting, but not so well when I'm standing. Could be worth checking out: www.lumoback.com ", "The biggest thing is while you are texting. Hold it up infront of your face rather than down and making your face look at it.\n\nIt is weird at first but you will get used to it.", "Pilates will help. Also, I found that instead of thinking about whether or not you're slouching, just think about keeping your shoulder blades pressed against your chair back when you're sitting. When you do this, notice how much more room you have around your diaphragm to breathe. ", "Pick something specific in every situation to be your cue to check your posture. Out in public? Every time you see a pretty girl or an iPhone, straighten your back. In a car? Every time you see a billboard or a speed limit sign, check your posture. On your computer? Any time you open a new tab or play a new youtube video, sit straight.", "My grandma always used to say walk like you're looking up at a 10 story building, but then move your head back to a normal position (it sounds strange but really works to straighten that spine)", "If you're a woman, pull your shoulders back (shoulder blades closer together) and take a deep breath. At the peak where your boobs have risen to the top, take note - try to push the girls up to this level with your shoulders back at all times. Perfect! ", "Have someone help you to do this... Remove your shirt, stand with shoulders back in good posture and have a friend put two four inch strips of duct tape going vertically about 4 inches apart (near shoulder blades) down your back. Try to relax for a moment then pull shoulders back again and have two more strips put on horizontally making a square of tape on your back.\n\nEvery time you try to relax to lazy posture the tape will give an uncomfortable reminder :D", "Go see a Physiotherapist. At least check if it's covered by your insurance. They will identify any problems, and give you proper ways to correct them. ", "Funny, I just actually asked my chiropractor for some suggestions on Thursday. Here's what she said:\n\n1- When you sit in a chair, try to make sure your shoulder blades touch whatever you're sitting against. If you have problems remembering to do this, she suggested putting something like a tennis ball between your shoulder blades and your chair (she added that you could also then use it to work little knots out if you'd like).

[ "I am SO glad that this isn't just me!!\n\nIn my current job, I work with a lady tries to make my life a living hell. Normally I am a very strong, confident person but with her I just can't seem to stand up to it. Anything she does to frustrate me makes me break down which, in turn, frustrates me more because I hate that I break down!!!\n\nI'd love to know how to battle this!!!", "This might not necessarily be what you want to hear, but, as a fellow young female in a male dominated industry, AND as a fellow frustration-cryer, the number one thing you can do is take care of yourself *habitually.*\n\n***Rule 1-A: SLEEP, woman!*** You must get enough sleep!! You are so much more exposed emotionally if you're not properly rested. Of course, when you're already spread thin--on a deadline with no time to sleep or you *definitely* aren't making deadline-- this can feel like a luxury. It's not. You must prioritize your sleep and I really cannot emphasize this rule above all others enough. \n\n***Rule 1-B: Eat healthy, or just chew on something other than your fingernails.*** I find that when I'm on stress level 8-10 I just don't feel like eating and I often don't even realize until the late afternoon when I already feel awful. Eat something; eat something *good*; you're hangry and you know it. \n\n***Rule 1-C: Hit the gym***, go for a run, do yoga, get outside, go to a kickboxing class, or go to the driving range and fire off at some balls. You *must* find a physical outlet to burn off some energy!! Get out, fill up your lungs up with oxygen, and get those endorphins flowing. I promise you, as much as you want to crawl under your blanket and pout, it will not make you feel better and in fact, you'll feel much worse. I'm not sure of your particular circumstances or if it might be plausible to excuse yourself when you're starting to feel the pools of humiliation oncoming, but if you can, just step outside for a second and get some fresh air -- take 5 minutes to get the blood flowing in your body and do some breathing exercises. You don't have to elaborate either-- as far as they're concerned, you went to the ladies room. \n\n***Rule 1-D: Practice self-compassion.*** I'm terrible at this because I have the curse of perfectionism and I'm terribly hard on myself, even when I've succeeded. We're all a little too hard on ourselves sometimes but remember that you deserve cr", "This used to happen to me all the time.

I barely even cry if there is a death. I just handle tragedy differently.. Inner devastation, little outward signs of sadness. \n\nThe *only* time I cry is when I am frustrated or feel very helpless in a situation, such as when something happens that is super unfair. I immediately start to well up and i try SO hard to stop it from happening. \n\nI get the most upset when people take advantage of my kindness or lie about things. I hate it. There are people at my job who will do absolutely nothing while I bust my ass and when it comes down to supervisors needing answers as to why production is slower, they sit there and let anyone else get blamed. I hate that shit, man. \n\nAll I can do is walk away so no one sees, close my eyes and focus on deep breaths. I tell myself that it's ok and really just try to reassure myself that I have integrity and at least I know the truth. I also tell myself that it isn't a big deal and will blow over. It's nothing to get so upset about when you look at the bigger picture. \n\n", "Something That has helped me not show my frustration is to try to look at the issue as a puzzle. What can we (I) do different? What has failed in the past? What has worked? By asking yourself these questions, you take your feelings out of the equation and let your brain work on something instead of spinning its wheels getting no where.

Cortisol increases in your body are making you feel stressed.\nI found that whenever I got into an argument or frustrating conversation with somebody, and it was escalating, I began to breath very shallow.

It's fairly common for schools to keep an extra copy to rent for a few hours. You could always request the book through interlibrary loan if it is available.\n\nSuper pro tip - You don't have to rent/buy all of your texts!

Also, textbook prices tend to drop a few weeks into the semester - especially on Amazon and Chegg. \n\nGood luck!", "Wait until its the beginning of the next semester. Then sell your books.

The bookstore offers ridiculous buyback prices, so I just listed all of the books I had for classes I'll never need (my non major classes) and I've gotten decent money back. It has a direct deposit feature, but just a warning, it takes a few weeks for amazon to disburse the money just in case the recipient claims damage or wants a return!\n\nKeep your major books though.

For a few dollars, you can get a hot shower. \n\nIf you pack some non-perishables to fix for yourself you can save a ton not eating out. Peanut butter, fruit, ramen (which you can just soak in hot water from the coffee machines in had stations). Stick up on condiment packages, too! Those things don't spoil. Have empty water bottles on hand, and keep them full. Except one, maybe, for \"emergency\" stops. \n\nCamp a much as possible! I'd bring a small tent, sleeping bag, therm-A-rest, cooking kit. Some places, if you scout them out, you can just stop. I've crashed a few KOA campgrounds in my day, but if you get caught you will have to pay. I never got in \"trouble\" though. Do at your own risk. \n\nI can't offer places to stop without knowing where you're going, though. Grand Canyon, the Redwoods, any beach, the Badlands in the Dakotas, east Tennessee/ Appalachia, all these are places I loved. I've been through 43 states and bits of Canada, so gimme an idea, and I'll make suggestions!\n\nLong story short, expect the best, but prepare for the worst! Have enough on hand to deal with any minor problem, and have a plan for major ones. ", "Try as hard as possible to not stay in chain motels/hotels along the way. If you can, try a bed and breakfast (usually cheap, good food, interesting people). Youth hostels and YMCAs are available sometimes too.\n\nBooks on tape.

Obviously visit the notable sights, but don't get sucked into kitschy stores and restaurants. Go where residents suggest.\n\nAAA might save your ass. Consider becoming a member. \n\nSunglasses. Your eyes will thank you.\n\nStop and stretch every few hours. Even if you're in a hurry, you'll be way happier at the end of the day.", "I also graduated in May, and recently drove cross-country for work. It's something I've done before for internships, and here are a few things I've found helpful:\n\nGet a couple light-colored bed sheets, and cover your belongings with them. They will hide any valuables, and reflect some light away--keeping your car a bit cooler.\n\nHang a shopping bag from a head rest as a garbage bag, and replace it when full--no car mess when you arrive at your destination. I usually hang a second bag for recyclables, but there isn't always a rest area bin for them when it comes time to empty the bag.\n\nAs others have mentioned, audio books are great. Having a friend along is better still.\n\nReplace your windshield wipers before you leave, and buy an extra container of wiper fluid to top off along the way. It is cheaper at an auto parts store back home than at a tiny gas station in the middle of nowhere. If it precipitates, your wipers become an important safety feature. New rubber makes a big difference, especially if you'll be driving through rain for hours. Use cruise control when you can, but not in the rain.\n\nIf you aren't in a hurry to get anywhere, drive at the speed limit or slower--you'll use much less fuel. To take this further, slow down going up big hills--like the trucks do. Make sure your tires are properly inflated--it can make a big difference in fuel usage over long trips. Buy a tire pressure gauge if you don't have one.\n\nCarry a couple gallons of water in the car--you can drink it if you're stranded, and though it's not good to use straight water, you can add it to your radiator as emergency coolant.\n\nConsider carrying a basic mechanic's tool set to fix small problems along the way. I've reattached undercarriage pieces, and have replaced pumps and belts along the way. I'd also suggest buying a spare serpentine belt and an alternator from a major auto parts store. Best case you can return them at a store elsewhere, worst case you can get moving again if something goes wrong.\n\nCheck your tire pressure every morning, and your oil level at least every other day. Coolant too from time to time when the engine is cold. Carry extra oil, paper towels, and a funnel. Your car *will* need some oil if you are driving thousands of miles. Know how to read your dip stick, and how many quarts (or liters) make up the difference between the min and max lines. Carry that amount of oil or more.\n\nAs others have mentioned, camp as much as you can. \n\nIf you have a camera, stop and take pictures. You'll want to remember the memories. Even if it makes for a slower trip, stop and take pictures.\n\nMany McDonalds restaurants now have free wifi. Handy if you need to make reservations on the go or plan your next day.\n\nIf you pass a food place in the morning, get something to go for later. Once you start to get hungry, stop at a nice place and enjoy.", "**Showers**\n\nTruck stops. Go to the fuel desk. Cost is between $5 and $10, though often if you are female and look like you could be someone's daughter, truckers will give you one of their shower coupons (they get one for every X many gallons of fuel they pump and sometimes can earn more than one per fill-up) because they are projecting their dad feelings on to you. Sometimes they are projecting romantic feelings, but usually it is dad feelings.\n\n**Lodging**\n\nCheck out CouchSurfing, and pack camping gear in the trunk.

You don't really need to know any specifics, just get them talking about the stuff they like and they'll usually enjoy talking to you.

[ "How do I deal with my downstairs neighbor complaining about noise all the time? I live in a co-op in NYC. Been there for a little over a year, and for the past few months, my neighbor has complained about the noise in my apartment. It seemed to start because I exercise in my apartment: weights and Pilates (which make no noise), and cardio. Generally, I do the cardio during the week either pretty early in the morning (6am) or in the evening (6pm) and it's always only 30min or less. At first, she would bang on the ceiling, and after a few times, my mother (who owns the place but doesn't live there) went to see her very diplomatically to see what her concerns were and explain my daily schedule. The neighbor explained that she hears the exercising, but that doesn't bother her. What bothered her was the noise against the floor coming from the front room (an actually quiet tenant who has since moved out). In response, we put down padding and rugs in all rooms and the living room (where I exercise) to abide by co-op laws of 80% coverage and buffer sound, I avoided doing plyometric exercises to minimize noise even though she said exercises don't bother her, and my mother gave her her number to call if she had any further issues.\n\nThen one morning a few months ago, I walked back to my room with my shoes on to grab something and when Ieft and the elevator got down to her floor, she was waiting for me, and stopped the elevator from moving so that she could scream (I do mean scream) at me to stop walking with shoes on (mind you, she's never actually met me). I resented this approach (especially after we politely knocked on her to door to calmly address the issue), but I agree it would be annoying to hear walking, so I realized I need to be more conscientious about that, and I try my best to never walk in the apartment with shoes on (i.e.: taking off shoes should I forget something in the morning).\n\nHowever, since those measures, my neighbor has been what I consider unreasonable. I make no other noises except reasonable living noises. She has contacted management, and since then, I have been documenting the exact times of and antecedent to her banging on the ceiling and screaming at me from below. For example: 1) 2:30am: I get up to walk to use the bathroom 2) 1:45am (Friday): I am standing at the edge of my bed ready to get in 2) 2:06pm: I spilled quinoa on the kitchen floor (which does not need a rug but has one anyway) and used a vacuum 3) 10:22pm: I plugged an extension cord into an extension cord that was on the floor at 8pm 4) 6:23pm: I was walking around my entirely carpeted room, stepped over a suitcase (after this particular time, I immediately went downstairs to talk to her and she refused to answer the door) 5) 2:30am: I was SLEEPING IN MY BED! 6) 9:50pm: Sitting in and adjusting my position in my bed. Most recently, my new roommate (to whom I explained the 80% and shoes rule) walked through the living room this morning to turn off the kitchen light. The neighbor stopped her in the elevator and said the next time she heard noise, she would call the police. It's frustrating because I understand that it can be annoying to hear your neighbors, but we live in an apartment complex and that comes with the territory. It is no one's fault that it is poorly built for sound, but we've taken measures to prevent excess sound. I hate feeling like I need to not use my vacuum or get to the bathroom.

Then there isn't really a trick to deal with it, you just have to work at it and slowly chip away. Baby steps. You also have to decide whether it's something worth working to get rid of, or if it's better to work to just become okay with it.\n\nA lot of the time it's about striking the right balance between accepting who you are and working to change yourself for the better. For things like social anxiety, you can definitely work towards becoming less nervous, being better at talking and making eye contact, but you also have to work on your own standards for yourself. It's perfectly okay to be on the shy end - you have to both work on getting less shy, and work on being more okay with being shy to be successful at getting rid of that insecurity.\n\nTalking to other people and making friends is the thing that helps the most, actually. When we have insecurities that we keep to ourselves, they fester in our minds and we make them into bigger problems than they are. I convinced myself that my social anxiety and awkwardness made everything think I was weird and awkward, that they probably didn't like talking to me. But if you talk to people and get close to them, you realize that everyone is pretty awkward and a little uncomfortable in certain social situations, and that people aren't thinking about you nearly as much as you think they are.

[ "Make a budget. \n\nThat means figuring how much you want to spend on each category of shit a month, like going out, groceries, eating out, transportation, clothes, etc. Then track all your purchases and try and stay under the totals you've set for yourself. Theres apps for this but you can use google docs and save your receipts until you reach a computer if you wanna.\n\nThis is really a 'pro' tip though, most people aren't together enough in their heads to pull it off.\n\nThe point is to make the total you spend under your earnings so you can save money for the future an all that.", "Where you'll be living in the US might make a difference. By that I mean if you're in/near a big city you'll have a lot more resources to draw upon vs somewhere relatively rural.\n\nYou can probably scout out the general area now using google maps and locate the nearest grocery stores, laundry mats, etc.\n\nAssuming your coworkers aren't dicks they should help you get situated as well.\n\nFor meals a regime can help assuming you're not the type that gets easily bored by the same foods. Plan the week's worth of meals and stick to easy foods for breakfast and lunch so you only need to think about cooking at night (easy breakfast == yogurt and banana, easy lunch = sandwiches).\n", "Someone mentioned \"coupons online\" and that got me thinking... you will also need to budget some time and money for entertainment so you don't feel guilty when you have some fun. Try these sites, which send you daily coupons specific to your area: [groupon](http://www.groupon.com) and [living social](http://www.livingsocial.com).\n\nSounds like you'll have some roommates-- what if you took turns cooking dinner for the whole group? Then you cook less often and get some nice social time too. This is especially cool if your roommates come from all over the world because then you get exposed to great ethnic cuisines.\n\nI second the /r/frugal suggestion!", "Definitely would recommend making a VERY detailed budget. You can find incredible excel templates that have all the guess work done for you and all you have to do is input numbers.\n\nI had a roommate who also did this when he graduated: try to make one \"new\" thing a week, even if it's as simple as eggs and toast. Eventually you'll get comfortable enough to start experimenting with cooking, which will save you immense amounts when you eliminate dining out.\n\nTry planning your meals for the week as well, it'll save you money in the grocery stores.\n\nCoupons online are also a great way to save money, or joining a rewards program for the stores nearest your location. Alot of times, stores also have coupons they can mail to you.\n\nHave a specific container for laundry money, unless your place has a laundry machine. I'm usually pretty bad about keeping laundry done, but it helps to do a few small loads a week (as long as you're not paying at a laundry mat). If you do have to pay, make sure you do it as economically as possible (even researching laundry prices.)\n\n\nHaving a dedicated space for cleaning supplies also helps. Writing yourself a chore chart you see everyday serves as a reminder for completing what you need to do. I'm in my second semester of graduate school and when times are tough/lack of time is apparent, I've come up with some pretty inventive ways to get everything done. \n\nYou also have to reward yourself....if you accomplish something big, take a break, play a video game, go for a walk, relax!", "It might be worth it, if you don't mind eating the same thing over and over, to get a membership to BJs or Costco. You can buy a large amount of food at the wholesale price. They have lots of cereals and dried foods that don't go bad.", "Be eager and willing to learn from everyone around you. Every student will be good at some stuff and not so good in other areas. Most people have one or two 'staple' meals (e.g. simple pasta dishes) that they can cook without thinking or planning too hard – if you take an interest in what other people are cooking around you you'll do fine. You'll probably be in shared accommodation in the US?\n\nYou sound like you'll be fine, really. Budgeting, in my experience, is necessary if you're inclined to be excessive, but I presume you'll be underage for alcohol over there, which will limit you a bit. Try to cook for yourself as much as possible rather than eating out if you're low on cash." ]

I start at stage 3, (least invasive) and move up as needed.\n\nStage 1 is my day to day \"big gun\" - GOOF-OFF - an extremely strong consumer class solvent.

If you're removing a nasty a sticker off stainless steel - this is your best friend. Off a piece of fine furniture? Heck no.\n\nStage 2 for me is \"orange oil\" solvent such as Goo Gone. The biggest downside of this class of \"orange oil\" solvents is that they tend to leave an oily residue behind. This stuff works best on paper or similar porous stickers since the oil can saturate the adhesive. It's best combined with patience and a pliable plastic putty knife type scraper.\n\nStage 3 is my strong preference whenever it will get the job done and that's to avoid chemicals at all and just use heat. I carry the kind of heat gun used in paint stripping and it's is a great adhesive removal tool (a good hair dryer can be subbed, but isn't as powerful) but the overuse of heat obviously can damages delicate surfaces as well.\n\nI recently combined orange oil, my heat gun, and extreme patience to carefully remove a super adhesive (designed to mount a camera to a skydivers helmet) GoPro camera mount from a Grand Piano Keyboard.\n \nThe tools are important.

[ "A couple things that I added in time for a big camp this year:\n\nA pencil sharpener - you can use it to make kindling out of any little sticks! SUPER handy. \n\nA headlamp - great for getting around at night or just in the tent. \n\nFor tarp securing, I have a whole butt load of various length bungee cords, rope, and big spikes, but this year what really advanced my tarping were the huge corkscrew things designed to secure dogs (you screw them 30cm into the ground and they have an attachment point for a leash or cable). They work better than any tent or tarp peg and Dollarama sells them for $3 each! Excellent investment, no hammer needed. \n\nAlso tarp-related - I don't know what they're called, but they're these small plastic things that allow you to attach a tarp to a rope without using the ever-failing eyelets on the corners of a tarp. They're two pieces that come apart and then compress back together with a section of tarp between them. They're absolutely brilliant!\n\nDecent strength garbage bags can be really convenient as emergency rain coats, and to keep things tidy. \n\nI don't know why, but I like having a laundry basket in the tent. It makes clothing organization simple, and if you get rained out, everything in the basket stays dry. \n\n", "Since no one has mentioned them and you said it's fairly windy I'm going to go with caribener clips and some 550 cord. You can tie up your smaller items and clip them to something sturdy. Makes it easy to store food away from your tent as well. Regardless of how much wildlife there is, it's just a good habit to develop.", "Most of what I do is fast and light backpacking, so I don't really take items that are large or awkward to carry.\n\nThings I bring that I don't see often off the top of my head:\n\n**Stormproof matches** - These cannot be extinguished by water or wind. *Don't* try to put these out with your fingers...good for lighting shit on fire when it's pouring rain and there are huge gusts of wind.\n\n**Metal match** - great for igniting your kindling (whether it's shreds of wood, cottonballs soaked in vaseline, whathaveyou).\n\n**Collapsible bowl** - The collapsible bowl can become a plate, mug, or bowl. 90% of the cleaning can be done by just unfolding and licking it clean.\n\n**Lexan spork** - lexan is a tough, flexible, light and *cheap* plastic that is perfect for backpacking. \n\n**SilNylon tarp** - Shelter at a moment's notice.", "Having little wads of dryer lint rolled in petroleum jelly are good for starting fires.\nAlso, hand written directions in the event of a dead battery/no reception.\nA collapsible water container for making coffee, washing hands and dishes, etc. Cheap and durable and can be used to shower. \n\n", "", "I always bring a hammock with me. It's a good idea to tie a piece of rope above the hammock (between the trees its tied to) and you can hang a tarp over that (if you're worried about rain). When I'm car camping, I leave firewood under the car to prevent morning dew and rain dampening it. In dry conditions this isn't required.\n\nIf you're cooking with a gas stove and it's going to be windy, either buy some aluminium wind shields or use some flat pieces of wood (obviously keep them a few inches away from the flame). Protecting the flames from wind will help cook faster.", "For a super windy area, bring goggles. Keeping shit out of your eyes is never appreciated until you have shit flying in your eyes.\n\nWhen I was hiking near Cabazon (where they have windmills and dinosaurs) and Mojave (the place where they have windmills and the SS Minnow replica), having goggles made my days so much more bearable.

It's hard to haul a giant boombox and flats of liquor so loud groups won't harsh your mellow.\n\nLightweight down jacket. It keeps your warm and some of them fold into their own pockets. Weight -8 oz. The weather changes dramatically with elevation and night. Dont bring a cotton hoodie that'll get drenched in sweat and never dry out. \n\nMerino wool is insulating while moist, comfortable, warm and relatively lightweight. Get some long johns and a long sleeve top. It tends to have a nice loft and thought no particularly quick drying, having the layer is appreciated in many of the places you'd want to camp - mountainuous terrain, windy coasts.\n\nQuick drying pants. Keep your jeans at home. You're gonna sweat, it's going to rain and you don't want to be carrying damp clothes around, never mind wearing them.\n\nFire? A pruning saw is handy for partitioning large pieces of deadfall.\n\nA headlamp is absolutely essential. I have a Petzl Myo RXP - it's like a personal search light. The tikka model is less bulky and sufficient but my Myo rocks for night hiking and climbing descents in the night. Get a decent one, not some $15 Coleman. Your phones light works In a pinch but is nowhere near as ergonomic (the headlamp has \"head tracking technology\") and will likely run out of battery. \n\nThe thermarest z seat is handy when sitting on cold rocks but also as a nice surface to stand on when you're done fording a river and don't want to get your feet covered in dirt (this sounds obscure but it happens often enough...). You can also use it to fan the flames of a fire. \n\nA gravity water filter like the ones MSR makes is clutch. It hauls a couple galons and you can leave it around camp for on demand safe water. When filling you can put the tube in your water bottle and walk away. Much more versatile than pump systems. Tablets you still have to wait 30 minutes. I haven't tried these life straw devices (filter built into a straw...) but they sound interesting.\n\nGet a down sleeping bag. Just don't get it wet. Compact and far far lighter for equivalent insulation than synthetics. Heavy ass sleeping bags are where you can save significant weight. Other savings - don't bring nonsense like the cast iron pans others suggested. WTF.\n\nHiking poles aren't only for arthritic hikers. You can use them like a ninja to catch your balance, take impact off your knees or bear down on steep uphill sections. They also double as tent poles with things like the Tarptent - really strong and burly tent poles.\n\n A stove like the MSR reactor or a Jetboil is nice as long as you're not going somewhere too cold for the gas. Boiling water is all you need and freeze dried meals taste great after a long hike, are simple to prepare and lightweight. \n\nBrain dump complete...", "Some Dr. Bronner's Castile soap. \n\nYou can use it as soap, shampoo, toothpaste and fifteen other things, if you get the peppermint it'll put a tingle in your nether regions, it's totally organic, biodegradable, paraben free and if you bring the original bottle it provides some fascinating reading material.

Some of my favorite uses;\n\n- Stick it under my sleeping pad (under my hips) im a side sleeper and i occasionally bottom out my pad (or it leaks air overnight)\n- stand on it while changing clothes to avoid getting sand/rocks/mud on your feet or trying to do that thing where you stand on top of your shoes to avoid touching the ground... more comfortable than changing laying down/crouching in your tent\n\n- Use it as a seat. Its soft. Its waterproof, it will keep your ass warm even directly on top of snow.\n\n- fold it up and use it like a pillow or just to prop up your head (if your reading or something while laying down) \n\n- wrap it around something breakable (liquor bottle/bong/whatevs)\n\n- lots of other random things you will come across. Its great, try it.\nSAVE MONEY on this item by going to walmart and buying one of their cheap closed cell foam sleeping pads for 6-7 bucks, and then just cut it to whatever size you want. It wont be quite as light weigt/packable as the Thermarest version, but it will still get the job done for half the price, and you will have enough foam to make one for 3-4 more of your friends too.\n\nOn that note, Walmart is a great place to buy camping accessories. I know, Walmart blows, and the quality of their products it total garbage, but for those misc. trinkets, organizational things like stuff sacks or small containers, flint, gas, cord etc. you cant even come close to beating their prices.

[The Sno Peak Hozuki Lantern](https://snowpeak.com/products/hozuki-lantern-2?variant=3109323332) is by far my favorite. Its not cheap ($100 ish) Why not one of many MUCH cheaper variants? Because those cast an inferior quality of light. I do not like that shitty bluish light that most LED products (even headlamps) cast... like a low quality fluorescent bulb (i believe most headlamps choose these types of leds because that wavelength of light travels further, illuminating more distance. However that is not a quality that you need in a lantern. The Hozuki lantern has a warm light to it, like a gas lantern/candle/fire, has multiple brightness settings, the brightest of which is more than you need for most uses, but if you hang it from something above head level, you can easily light up a 15x15 (estimate) area to \"get-shit-done\" levels (set up camp/cook/etc) low mode/candle mode is great for in a tent, or by the fire next to tools or food that might normally be shadowed. It adds a very pleasant ambiance, that i haven't seen in other camping lights, and has truly added to my many camping experiences.

This way I can clean up *and* pack out the paper-- one of the things mentioned in the book!", "[Basha.](https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=basha&rlz=1C1TIGY_enGB690GB690&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj-m_n8jJbOAhXHCcAKHZw4BRsQ_AUICSgC&biw=1366&bih=653) I hate tents; they're too large and too heavy to carry. A good quality basha and a bivvy bag keeps you just as warm and dry for a fraction of the weight. There is a million different ways you can set up a basha.\n\nI don't see people using [bivvy bags](https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=basha&rlz=1C1TIGY_enGB690GB690&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj-m_n8jJbOAhXHCcAKHZw4BRsQ_AUICSgC&biw=1366&bih=653#tbm=isch&q=bivvy+bag) often for some reason, but it's basically a second sleeping bag that you crawl in when you're already inside your first. It's actually made specially for this purpose; I've tried using an ordinary sleeping bag as a bivvy bag and I got heat stroke. Some people say you can use a bivvy bag instead of a tent but I don't recommend that. Use a basha and a bivvy bag. \n\nBungies are always useful, and you'll need them for the basha because the string they come with is just shite.\n\nA perimetre line (basically just a roll of string you put around your campsite at waist height) stops people from getting lost during the night, especially if you've been drinking. Hang glowsticks on them if you've got any of them.\n\nAlso a self-inflating roll mat. Mine is made by Vango, but I can't remember its name. I've been camping with people who've used true inflating mattresses (with air pumps and everything; one idiot bought one that needed an electric pump and actually bought the electric pump!) and they're just too heavy and bulky and take up space, and I've been camping with people who've used simple roll mats that you do yoga on and I can't see how that is comfortable. A self-inflating roll mat is just perfect in my opinion.\n\nBring two sources of ignition at least. If you have a box of matches then bring a zippo as well. If those matches get wet then there's no hot dinner for you. \n\nJetboils are pretty gucci but they're not great for long excursions if you don't take enough fuel, and I'm not comfortable carrying pressurised canisters in my pocket. My mate was showing off with her Jetboil until it ran out of fuel, she tried to boil water in it using my Trangia, and the bottom of the Jetboil was deformed from the flame. £100 wasted in an instant. I prefer more rugged means of cooking. [Trangias](http://trangia.se/en/) can be fueled with literally anything that is flammable; solid or liquid. Methylated spirits work best but I've used alcohol and wood before; the wood worked a lot better even though it was illegal where we were camping. [Hexicookers](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-British-Army-Hexamine-Cooker/dp/B00GHPHFEQ) use hexamine fuel, sort of like those firelighters, they burn very hot and quite low to the ground so whilst they are practically windproof you've got to be careful that you're not cooking on dry ground. Hexicookers last the longest out of these methods; you can carry enough fuel to last you two weeks in your pocket.\n\nKeep an eye on the laws where you'll be camping, for example having a campfire is illegal throughout the UK (I think Northern Ireland is different, as usual), so if you live here don't expect to be roasting marshmallows over an open fire. If you live in the US, don't be the mongoloid that sets California on fire.\n", "Preservative free artificial tears in the med kit...

Stick to this routine.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nAdditional tips: No caffeine after 1pm. \n\nTry and form a bedtime routine.\n\nTry installing f.lux for your computer. I recently got it and it helps a lot. \n\nMake sure you are well hydrated. Being dehydrated makes you feel like crap in the morning. Also, having to pee straight away in the morning helps you wake up. ", "I've found that it's more important to stop being a night-person. You can start waking up earlier just by setting your alarm and waking up early for several days in a row. But if you like to watch shows that are on late at night, or mix with friends that stay up late, or play video games past the point of tiredness, you'll revert back to waking up late again.\n\nThe second important thing is to make morning time a nice experience. If you wake up and it's dark outside, the room's dark, the heating hasn't come on yet, and there's nothing to do, you're more likely to press snooze and take another hour or so. If you set the heating to come on a while before waking up, and maybe even set the radio to come on too, you'll be waking up into a more comfortable world. You can even get a plug with a timer on it so your light can come on at a certain time. Some people have coffee machines in their bedrooms so they don't have to muck around in the kitchen. I went through a phase of making coffee in a thermos flask the night before and having that in the morning.\n\nAnother tip is to open your curtains as soon as possible.

Once you do that, you sort of just get into that rhythm and you're tired at the appropriate times.\n\nAfter that it's about not falling back into bad habits, so getting up early after a late night on the weekend even though you know you'll be tired.\n\nI get up instinctively no later than 9:30 now and that's from years of pretty much sleeping as late as I possibly could.

[ "Most people have a pretty shitty signature, so I don't think it necessarily matters. But having it look neat I think just comes from signing it so many times that your hand eventually finds the smoothest way to compete the motions, which looks good aesthetically. \n\nSo maybe if you've signed your name a gazillion times and it still doesn't look good, just practice writing it slower, focusing on making everything feel smooth, and then practice until you can do it more quickly. I don't think that having proper, by-the-book technique is necessary, but it may help you with the smoothness (as opposed to if you're writing some of the letters completely wrong from the standard way). The proper cursive letters are basically just the way writing evolved when people wrote so fast that it slowed them down to pick up their pen in between. The loops and stuff are just so the end of one letter will connect to the beginning of the next.", "I've just accepted my horrible signature. No signature is legible, or even has to be indicative of your name, it's literally just a mark that identifies you.

[ "In my opinion your cover letter is your chance to show your communication skills and to highlight your relevant qualifications. Obviously the main thing to avoid is summarizing your resume. I have a system that works well for me. \n\nFirst paragraph is an introduction. If you are applying for a specific position, use the title. You can say what you studied and where and if you have a specific start date you want to mention this would be the place to do it. \n\nParagraph two and/or three are where I highlight specific qualifications and my interest in the position. Remember to try to 'show not tell', if they are looking for organizational skills don't write \"I am very well organized.\" Go more towards \"I was very involved in X organization at school, leading several successful projects while managing a full course load.\" Also you can use wrap up statements like \"Given my extensive experience and the enthusiasm I will bring to the job, I am a great candidate for X position\" or something similar. One thing that I like to try to avoid is sentences with 'I believe I am', 'I feel I am' etc. Personally I think its better to state that 'I am'.\n\nNow the last paragraph is essentially a call to action. You want to say that you want to discuss your qualifications further and give your contact information. You could again mention logistics here, but my personal advice would be just to give your phone number and email. They'll contact you through one of those methods to set up the interview and then if you can't make it in person you can explain and suggest skype or over the phone.\n\nThe last thing I'll say is that this is super subjective and every company and industry can be different. If you know anyone in your industry it would be a good time to compare notes and I'd say that your school's career website/office is the best place to start. Also get someone to proofread your cover letter. It's way too easy to miss a typo. \n\nGood luck!!\n", "Sounds like you are relocating without having a job locked down. I would caution against that unless you have no other choice. \n\nFinding a job is tough, even with good experience and relationships. The #1 determinate for most hiring managers is cultural fit and it is incumbent upon the cover letter to tell that story. Cold applying and writing a cover letter should be a last ditch effort after you have exhausted all recommendations from your network and trying to forge a relationship with hiring managers at organizations you feel would be a good fit.\n\nGood luck and be careful! Finding a good job can take months or even years if one isn't prepared.", "There are as many standards and blueprints for resumes and cover letters as you care to look for! I actually just finished a new job hunt so here's my take on it.\n\nMy cover letters all had a similar format: a brief introduction about me (1 paragraph) along with the position I was applying for and its Rec ID or whatever the company called the tracking number, a paragraph explaining why I was excited about the position, a paragraph highlighting my qualifications (more than the résumé can provide), and a simple ending thanking the employer for their time and consideration. My contact info was on my résumé so no need to duplicate it on the cover letter. The cover letter is important to write clearly and I think should be able to convey some of your personality. Resumes can be pretty boring so this is your chance to really stand out.\n\nAs for the resume, look up what other people in your field use. I prefer bullet lists of my qualifications and achievements within previous positions, school, etc.. As a job seeker and someone who has looked at others' resumes, bullet lists really help me focus on what the person thinks is most important.", "My personal guideline is:\n\n - 1 page long maximum \n - General intro, then 3-4 points on what skills/capabilities I would bring to the role \n - 2-3 points on why I want the role.\n\n\nAs someone who has read many CVs/cover letters, I prefer a 1 page cover letter and 2 page CV maximum.

[ "TL;DR: use only and exactly one alarm. Use a new sound/tune/whatever.\n\nLonger version:\n\nI have used this at some point, and it worked for me. I hope it will work for you. Maybe try it in a less critical week, but still do it in a period when waking up is important.\n\nUse with only one alarm. At the risk of missing it for a few times. The fact that you have 20 alarms tells the sleeping brain that it's OK to skip some. \"Some\" becomes \"All\" fairly quick. You have trained your sleeping mind to ignore the alarm. Only keep one. Not two. Only one. After missing it for a few times, you will be much more alert about it. \n\nThe worst aspect of having 20 alarms: even if you space them at 5 minutes each, that's 100 minutes (1h and 40m) of interrupted sleep. This 1h40m of minced sleep wreaks havoc on your system. You fall into sleep, then jolt back up, leaving you even groggier. This is compounded each time. You say you don't remember stopping the first 10-15 alarms, but your body is still bothered by them and restarts it's sleep cycle each time. Interrupted sleep will leave you groggy and feeling you are unable to function. \n\nEven if this works, it will not work like magic. What you are attempting is to retrain your mind. Please be patient. I hope you will start to see some difference soon. Also, try going to bed at a reasonable hour, and when you are tired. No point in going to bed at 9 PM and tossing and turning until 11. Also, while it seems alcohol helps you sleep, it is not a good quality sleep. Try not to drink before bed, at least during this transition/retraining period.\n\nI really hope this helps. ", "You're probably not getting quality sleep at night. You should talk to your doc about it, they might want to do a sleep study. There are apps that make you do math problems, that might be a better option for you. Also consider that if you're setting 20 alarms you're setting the first alarm for way earlier than you need to wake up, and all you're doing is interrupting your sleep, making you more tired. ", "Set the phone alarm, put it somewhere that you have to get up out of bed to turn it off. Have a big glass of water next to it and take a big swig of that before you lay back down. Repeat as needed until you have to get up.", "There's an app that forces you to do math problems to turn the alarm off. I fucking hate math, and I'm bad at it, so the seething hatred plus extra effort wakes my brain up enough that I don't go back to sleep. ", "I’ve always heard that snoozing is what makes us more tired. We should have one alarm and get up when it goes off. I agree with another comment that said that your sleeping brain knows you don’t have to get up yet, so you are just interrupting sleep. If you’re really paranoid about missing that first alarm, Set one for when you want to get up and set another one for when you absolutely have to get up otherwise you’ll be late (as in the last alarm doesn’t leave time for showering, eating breakfast, etc. just enough time to put clothes on and rush out the door). Waking up to that last one a couple times in panic will eventually train you to get up on the first alarm. All in all, stop snoozing. ", "I would love to help you but I can't imagine how. My only advice would be to not get back into bed. I mean in the context of you having your phone somewhere that requires you to sit up to stop the alarm. By this time you are standing, just don't go back to bed, go shower and do your morning routine.\n\nFrom what I have seen sleeping is something you teach yourself. And you have been teaching yourself wrong. I have tought myself from a very young age that when the alarm rings I get up and start my day, no snooze, no multiple alarms, no \"just another minute\", just stand on your feet and get to it! So now it comes naturally, moreover once you settle into a routine and pretty much go to sleep and wake up at similar hours every day you will end up waking up 1 minute before your alarm rings. Happens to me all the time, and some of my friends so I don't think it's uncommon.", "if you have android, i recommend the sleep as android app, paired with a smartwatch like pebble, and a Hue white ambiance or color light. \nMy Hue turns on gradually half an hour before my alarm goes off (simulating sunrise). My watch tracks my movement and sleep as android uses this to adjust my alarm time until i am a light phase of sleep. the app also has various captcha options to make sure you are awake. the alarm won't turn off until you complete the task. Math problems are one, but another option is that you have to scan a particular QR code which you can place in another room.\n\nAlso, try to figure out if you suffer from Sleep Apnea. It can cause you to sleep more or feel not rested even when you get 7-8 hours. I found i didn't need to sleep for 10 hours on weekends anymore once i got apnea addressed.\n\nalso, to help with the IBS, you might try something like the FODMAP diet, which may or may not help. I know people it has helped, and their sleep was definitely affected as well.", "This does not sound like a sleep/alarm clock issue, but rather fatigue as a medical symptom. This is much more likely to be the case since IBS is also more of a symptom (rather than a disease). You might want to make an appointment with a good doctor, but keep a sleeping, eating, and symptom diary until the appointment.\n\nIt might be worth noting that these two symptoms (fatigue and IBS) tend to occur in autoimmune disease. It would be wise before your appointment to educate yourself about gluten sensitivity, gut dysbiosis, Candida Albicans, Hashimoto's, and other autoimmune problems that have fatigue and IBS listed as main symptoms. Pubmed is an excellent source for the latest research.", "One thing I do if I need to wake up early is to leave the curtains/blinds in the room open slightly. The light from the sun in the morning will wake you up earlier. It may not work if you're too far north/south and are in winter.", "My best advice for you is to change your alarm tone to a song you cant stand. Set one alarm as loud as possible and far enough away that you have to get out of bed. To beat the grogginess and get awake for the day I would suggest you go work out.\n\nI usually get around 3-5 hours of sleep each night during the week and to not feel like a zombie I wake up a few hours before work and go exercise. I normally play basketball 3 times a week and lift the other 2. After Im moving for 5 minutes I feel alert and awake for the rest of the day. Usually once a week I fit maybe an hour nap in when I start to really crash but otherwise I have been doing this for about 3 years now and have no problems. Good Luck", "First thing come to my mind that you are trying to wake up at the middle of a sleep cycle. Try sleeptyti.me or \"Sleep\" app on android. Had similar issue, using sleepyti.me for 3 weeks I guess, waking up at 6:45 like a baby." ]

Drinking tea helps and STAY AWAY FROM COFFEE. Caffeine will fuck you up. \n\n2. Use your thumb and index finger to massage the muscles in your cheek. This is a little awkward, you're going to want to do it in the bathroom or in your bedroom. Put your index finger in your mouth, and apply pressure to that muscle/tendon back by your molars. Massage this, roll it back and forth between your index and thumb (index inside your mouth, thumb on your skin) with an almost painful amount of pressure. I know this sounds weird, but it will do wonders if done right.\n\n3. Massage that same muscle by clenching your jaw, and rubbing it with the butt of a ballpoint pen.

One night, I took 8*500mg paracetamol (max. dose per day), and even though I had drunk a couple of beers with friends, the pain just wouldn't go away. Not one bit. The only effect of the painkillers was that I missed hitting my foot against something and created a small puddle of blood on my floor without noticing for a couple of minutes. Not exactly the night of my life.\n\nWell, after that night I finally went to the dentist, who noticed a disbalance created by a too high filling in a lower back tooth. He just carved a little bit of the filling away and the disbalance was gone.\n\nTalk to a dentist or even better: an orthodontist. They are the experts.

The first time I got one, I had no idea what to do, and I was in miserable pain for two weeks before going to the doctor. (I hate doctors, and pharmaceuticals.) I couldn't sleep at night and could barely eat.\n\nConsensus is that, if you think you're getting a jaw ache or have one, just take ibuprofen until it goes away. I was prescribed 800 mg doses to take three times daily with meals, and after a few days it really did make it go away. (I weigh 120 lbs. Yeah, significant dose.) I also have to avoid opening my mouth too wide, chewy foods (taffy, bagels, clams, etc.), and really hard foods.\n\nAnother effect of TMJ is \"popping\" sounds in your jaw, like when you're eating. That was the first question the doctor asked after I told her about the jaw ache. It MIGHT be caused by a \"bad bite\" where tooth heights are uneven (too-high dental fillings on one side... I haven't been to anyone to fix it. Fuck dentists. If I get another killer ache I might consider it.)\n\nI also had to stop blowing my bf. He's pretty pissed, but seeing as doing that is what set off that first 2-weeker I'm not keen on trying again. Callous bastard, he is.", "First, find out what's causing the jaw aches. Do you grind your teeth at night, or without realizing it during the day? ", "A friend's TMJ would cause a painful muscle line from the side of her face where the jaw hurt down to her shoulder blade. It held true for many other people and me as well. If you can track the line of tension, and massage it out, it really, really helps.\n\nStart behind your ear (or have someone else do it), and follow the line of tension, working it out as you go. It takes a lot of finger strength and a bit of time, but you should get a good deal of relief.\n\nThis may not work if you don't have a TMJ issue, but it is worth a try." ]

[ "My response to that question is another question: \"What is the salary range for this position in your company and what type of experience would you require for the higher salary range?\"", "The employer should already know what salary range is appropriate for the job in question. If they ask this question, it means they haven't done their homework and are trying to gauge what the market is asking right now. You should have a good idea what salary is appropriate for the job you're seeking, and whatever you do DO NOT discuss your salary history -- that is none of their business.", "I find that a great way to sidestep the question is to express a willingness to consider some equity and/or bonus as part of your package. Then also tell them your actual truthful minimum salary. For example:\n\n“I’m willing to consider taking a risk on my skills having a real benefit on the bottom line, so I’d consider equity, stock options or a performance bonus as part of my total compensation. However, my firm salary floor is $150K no matter how generous the equity grant might be. “\n\nThen the ball is back in their court. They either have to offer you a nice equity/bonus or come up from your salary number to compensate.", "Whenever someone asks me this, I always tell them my minimum requirement, which is a bit higher than the money I would work for, either they agree or not. In the latter I can still be above my minium requirement.", "Whatever amount you say it's the reaction you need to look for.\n\nIf they smile or chuckle then you're not going to get what you are looking for. You're in a weak position.\n\nIf they are incredulous or sombre then you have the power to negotiate. You're in a strong position.\n\nNever sell yourself short. They'll always tell you \"too high\" but never \"too low\".", "I too have been job searching recently. I have learned that the best way to uncover a salary range is to say \" I am sure that your compensation package is competitive in the current market, I am really more interested in finding a role that is the right fit for me and my skillset.\" Also, I hope this is a true statement, there is nothing like going to work each day doing what you love.", "If you don't want to make less than you do now, that's your number. If you're prepared to work for less then the lesser number is your number. \nIt comes down to this. If they say yes will you be happy ? If they say no will you be devastated ?" ]
