Does your head start to tilt a little sideways every time you spot that one picture hanging in your living room? Getting a picture perfectly aligned isn’t always as simple as just hanging it on the wall. Thankfully, there’s a quick way to hang a picture straight. You will need a level or a smartphone. If using your mobile device, download one of the many free level apps out there and open it. Then simply sit your level or phone on top of the picture and gently nudge the frame until the bubble on the level is perfectly centered. Now, when you look at that picture, you won’t end up hurting your neck.

Make Pizza Without an Oven
Are you waiting on a new oven? Did student housing only come with a hotplate? Do you still want pizza? Skip delivery and use this hack for making pizza without an oven instead. This will work for frozen pizzas as well as with any standard pizza recipe (just replace the part about the oven and ignore the suggested time). You will need to find a frying pan big enough for your pizza, coat the pan with olive oil, add your pizza, put a lid on to seal in the heat, and put it on a very low heat that would only be enough to simmer water. In 20-22 minutes, you will have a pizza that is golden brown on the bottom and cooked all the way through. It’s a pizza in a pan!
