Students are known to be relatively poor. Student life is just so expensive. They have to pay tuition, rent, telephone bills, and health insurance, as well as food and drinks. Besides, they constantly have to be studying, which means there is little time to earn extra cash.
The advantage of such a financial situation is that one will have to learn to be creative. Here are a few “tricks” to help you create a few cheap things with little money.
Make an amplifier for your phone
Music from your mobile phone often just isn’t loud enough on the phone’s speakers. With this simple lifehack, you can change that. With a toilet roll and two plastic cups, you can make a speaker set like this and get the party going in no time.
Create your projector
Imagine that you are with a group of friends or your family, and you want to show a video via your cell phone. It is not very social to have everyone look at your phone separately, so making use of a projector can come in handy. To save money, it is possible to put it together yourself. What you need for this is no more than a shoebox and a magnifying glass.
Start by cutting a hole in the front wall of the shoe box. It should be the size of the magnifying glass you are going to use. You then place said magnifying glass right in front of it. Make a sort of a stand so you can stand your smartphone horizontally and set the brightness of the screen to the maximum. Finally, point the projector at the wall, and voilà , your handmade projector is ready to serve!
Create atmospherical light with your phone’s flashlight
If you don’t have any cozy lights to switch on in your house, you can easily solve this issue with your phone.
Put your phone on the table with the flashlight facing upward, and place a transparent plastic bottle onto it, which you have filled with water.
Make a telephone holder
When you have no nightstand next to your bed, you can use this handy trick to make sure your phone is always next to you and easy to grab. What you need to do is simple: Stick two towel hangers next to your bed onto your wall. Instead of hanging a towel or a tea towel, however, you will place your phone onto the hooks, as shown in the picture below.
Make a simple hanging system
Binder clips are not only used for paper. Have you ever thought about using them for cables or sunglasses, for example? By attaching the clips to the edge of a table or a desk, you can put cables or the ends of your sunglasses right through it. That way, nothing will end up tangled, which would undoubtedly happen in a drawer.
