Alternative uses for lecture notes

Let's say you have finished your exams. You see the disorganised pile of lecture notes lying about your room, making it look like the college photocopying shop. The karang guni man won't give you much for them either. What do you do? Here are some alternative uses for your notes.

1)Weight Training.
Guys, NS is approaching. It would be a good idea to train up. A stack of lecture notes containing two years of stuff can easily weigh up to almost one kilogramme. Simply bind them with durable duct tape all over, tape a short handle and use as weights. (Math or Chem notes are recommended)

2)Environmental Wallpaper.
Feeling a bit tired of your plain old blue/pink/green/orange/polka dotted/[insert colour of your room] walls? Wallpaper your room with your notes! All you need is glue, and the result will be a spcetacular dizzying black and white effect that awes the eye. Furthermore, if you are the type who highlights your notes, your walls will be spruced up with bursts of yellow/blue/red/green/orange/purple. You can even study before you sleep.

3)Paperweights.
What other way to showcase your originality and environmental friendliness to visitors by using paperweights made of, well, paper! Just be careful not to lose your REAL work in the midst of all that paper.

4)Steps.
For all the -ahem- vertically challenged, how about considering the use of your notes as a step to reach higher things? Whether it be the cookie jar on the top shelf, or even the sink, your notes will provide a handy way up, both academically and literally.

5)Chew toys.
Got an overactive dogs that wear down chew toys faster than food? Your lecture notes are a handy repleacement. simply grab a stack, roll them up, bind with tape, and you have it! A large supply of toys at hand.

6)New Age Aromatheraphy.
Why buy expensive weird sounding aromatheraphy cures when you have 2 years of papers at home? Simply shred your papers up and burn them in a little pot. Guaranteed to lock the information inside your head with 100% freshness. Beware of fires.

7)Inexpensive fly-swatters.
Roll em up, bring em down. Finally you can actually "rub it in" onto Maclaurin's face.

8)Origami frag.
Now the stress is off you, you can engage in a simple relaxing activity like origami. Used lecture notes are easy to rip and manipulate into paper animals.

9)Fuel.
Scientists predict the coming of a second Ice Age. If it ever happens, a supply for lecture notes could be pretty handy living in an igloo in Singapore. If only I could find the enthalpy change of combustion of paper...
