That’s right folks. 8 months down the road and I have reached 100+ posts. I don’t know about you, but I’m excited. And to celebrate, I’ve compiled a fantastic list of resources to hack your life and make you an amazing well rounded person. This may be my favorite post yet. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
If your life is anything like mine you probably don’t have time to read all of these at once, so bookmark this article and read a little bit at a time.
- 50 Things Everyone Should Know How To Do – We start off basic. This list is fantastic. Some of you could spend weeks just mastering this list, and let me tell you, it would be well worth it. This list has everything from survival techniquesto computer basics, cpr to giving great speeches, job interviews to time management, travelling to swimming, and so much more. This must be one of the coolest lists compiled that I have ever seen (a special thanks to Marc and Angel Hack Life)
- 30 Useful Tools Everyone Should own – Another fantastic Mac and Angel article. In this list you will find everything from a laptop to a hammer, and even some hand sanitizer. A great read.
- 100 Must-Read Books: The Essential Man’s Library – When I first looked over this list, I realized that I had read, or at least had interest in reading many of these books. The fact that I was already interested in so many led me to believe that I would be interested in most if not all of them. Look over this list, then head over to amazon and pick up a few. And don’t be afraid of the list just because it contains a few books you may have had to read in high school. They really aren’t that bad!

- 31 Ways to Motivate Yourself to Excercise – yet another ZenHabits masterpiece. Many of us get caught up with schoolwork and trying to balance college life that fitness takes a hit. Here are a few ways to get back to feeling that wonderful euphoria of exercise.

Take my advice, read this and learn to implement the tips into your daily life. Future you will be glad you did.

Well there you have it. If you took my advice to heart and read these, or even just skimmed over them, you now have a pretty good idea of what it will take for you to be the greatest version of yourself possible. If you are a regular here at Zen College Life, I assume that this is something you are interested in, so go fourth, master life, and be great.

This sure is a momentous event to point out, and you have done so in an appropriate way that highlights much positive material. The picture used makes the point well as it represents the many gift-boxes of useful reading that are spread throughout the post. These lists are quite full of points matching their titles, and the one titled “10 Hard Ways to Make Your Life Better” is appealing as it represents that improvement will come with difficulty.

Thank you for compiling this list. I already started looking through all of them, and trying to implement each single post. The 100 must-read books list particularly touches a nerve since it makes me a little anxious to think about how much amazing literature i’ve yet to digest.
Keep up the good work.
