NEW YORK, Sept 3 — Here are some life hacks for students that include simple fixes for issues you may encounter at school, and how to have some fun with school supplies.

Tips include how to make your timetable easier to remember, what to do when the pull tab of your zipper breaks, and how you can turn a simple sheet of paper into a fun snake-and-ladders game for those spare moments in between classes.

For those who carry an extra pair of shoes to school for sports-related activities, you can keep them smelling fresh using scented tumbler dryer laundry sheets. As dryers are not commonly used in Malaysia, you can substitute the laundry sheets with unused tea bags instead.
