Packer Life Hacks
By Maddie Gunnell and Anika Buder-Greenwood
Here are some hacks to make your life better at packer!:
- Add the lunch calendar to your home screen so you can always quickly see what’s available in the cafeteria.
- Go to the lunch menu page on your 2. Press “Add to Home Screen” 3. Now on your Home screen!
safari browser on your phone and press the
square with the up arrow in the bottom middle
- Bring a sweater
- As we all know, the temperature in different classrooms in Packer is very invariable. If you bring a sweater around with you to classes then you’ll never be left freezing. Also, during this time of transition from summer to fall, the weather is often cold in the morning, so it easier to bring a sweater anyways.
- But Febreze/deodorant in your gym locker
- When starting a new notebook for a class, leave the first few pages blank and make a table of contents
- This will make it much easier when studying for your final exam because it will be easier to find topics from your notes.
- Put your classes (with bands), and your barcode as the home screen on your phone.
- This will make it easier to see what classes you have and pay for food. The best way to make this screensaver is to find a picture for the background, screenshot your barcode off of the PCI connect app, and put together the screensaver on Google Drawings.
- Get a cardholder to the back of your phone and put you MetroCard and student ID in it
- Here are some cheap ones from Amazon:
- This provides easy access to your ID (this will speed up the tapping-in/out process).
