Pringles cans are great for storing spaghetti in. I love doing this because the plastic bag tends to rip once open and then they fall and break. A Pringels can fits them perfectly and keeps them safe. Boyfriend wrapped a different paper around the tin though to stop himself from getting his hopes up whenever he spotted them in the pantry..

Is it just me, but why not just cook less rice and cook more when needed/wanted? I mean, it cooks fast enough and I don't see it worth freezing and then having to defrost.

Maybe I'm missing the point here but I'd be happy to be schooled on this extra-cooking habit... :)

My boyfriend & I have one that says "If you bring beer you are welcome here"
We're students and we like to party...

Generally, the stoppers they sell for alcohol bottles tend to fit an almost every bottle I've come across - seems like the mouths of bottles are quite standardized :)

I do like Vodka in certain drinks; Freshly squeezed grapefruit and orange juice with vodka is a great drink to enjoy on a hot day.
I don't think people should have these attitudes about drinks going out of fashion. Just like Lenesky said it doesn't matter if (s)he enjoys something that is perceived as a college drink.
It is all about tastes in the end I'm not aiming to impress anyone with what alcohol I enjoy when ;)

The only place I can tell that two sinks make life easier; shared bathroom between siblings. I've been sharing a bathroom with my younger brother (6 years age difference) since I was about 10. In the last two houses the bathroom was just for us (my parents always have an en-suite) and the two sinks made everything easier. Brushing teeth, etc in the morning we would usually be doing at the same time as we already had a very early wake up and in the evenings when I was younger getting ready for bed was also made easier because we each had our own sink and could go at our own pace.
Now that I'm 20 and whenever I go back to visit, there are still occasions where he will want to get ready to go out or do his hair whilst I'm doing my make up and having our own sink simplifies things.

On the other hand, living with my boyfriend I've never seen the need for double sinks in the bathroom. Even if we're getting ready at the same time, I have a make-up vanity and in the bathroom only the basics are done - brushing teeth, hair, face washing.

I live with my boyfriend and we have three hampers: whites, colours and darks. Whenever a hamper is full, we just throw it in the machine (shared with three other students, so it's easy enough to get to the machine when you need it, and if there's stuff in there you can leave your hamper next to it to claim dibs for being next! Hehehe, student life)

The best thing I added to our laundry system for my boyfriend and I was that each of us has two of those mesh laundry bags - one for white socks and the other for black. That way we don't have to go through all our similar (but different sized) socks - simply each person has their own bag that can then be emptied into the drawer or paired or whatever. Such a life saver! These bags are hanging next to the laundry baskets and mine are a different textured mesh to his.. to make the separation even easier!

No luxury of a drier so we hang it on a foldable rack in our apartment and when things are dry, one of us or even together, we will fold everything up.

Only special items get ironed; we both aim for low maintenance clothing as we are students and don't need too many special occasion outfits.

Perfect idea! My boyfriend and I were just wondering what to do with our stemless glasses; the closest idea we had were different coloured coasters whilst all the guests are sitting at the sofas and setting their drinks on the coffee table..

This from Ikea. I really, really, really love mine. In fact, I took it off my parents when I moved to uni and my mom bought another. She hated it so much that she had to go to Ikea to replace it :D It's good quality, easy to clean, and I love how it catches what you grate. I also like the fact that you can change the grating size panel.

The link in the article leads to an Estonian site. It explains that she achieved this type of egg by putting it in stoccking and spinning it, not shaking.
It is also mentioned that it took many, many failed attempts.

Wohoo for me being apparently the only Estonian speaker on this post so far...
