The World's Shittiest Macguyver
A collection of things I invented or otherwise put together on the spot. You may say to yourself "these are just stupid". That's valid. Just remember the creator of the cheeseburger was laughed at as well. So who's really stupid here? Exactly.
The Ramen Fork
In the absence of adequate silverware, a few common household items can be thrown together in a pinch (not that a fork isn't a household item) but whatever #DormLife

Tampon Piping Bag
Ok, this one may be getting a little weird, but I'm no baker. So why would I bother investing in a piping bag just to put some icing on a tin of brownies? Just stick a tampon applicator through a Ziploc bag and call it a day. It's called resourcefulness, I don't make the rules, I just play the game.
You'll need
-
A Ziploc bag
-
A (hopefully unused) tampon applicator
Steps
Step 1) Deconstruct a tampon applicator, you’ll only need the tube for this.
Step 2) Cut a small hole in the corner of a Ziploc bag, make sure the hole is approximately half the diameter of the tampon applicator
Step 3) Push the tampon applicator through the Ziploc bag from the inside outwards, creating a seal as the tube stretches the Ziploc hole.

Suspended Beer Bong
Have you ever had to hold your own beer bong up while you chug it? Now you may be asking yourself why I'm chugging beer by myself. Well, why are you reading about beer bongs on some college kid's portfolio website? Only gawd can judge.
You'll need
-
A beer bong
-
Scissors
-
A surgical mask
Steps
Step 1) Cut a small incision into a study surgical mask, approximately the size of the the tube on you beer bong.
Step 2) Fit the surgical mask through the tubing of your beer bong where its cradling the base of the funnel
Step 3) Tie the strings of the surgical mask to any hinges or notches up high. (Example shown: kitchen light fixture)

The Fork Clipper
Same idea as the MTA comb but this time I didn't have the inexperienced 2nd party to cut my hair. I did however have an electric shaver and a disposable fork that I foolishly thought looked similar enough to clipper guards.

-
An electric shaver
-
A disposible fork
-
Tape
-
No regard for your physical appearence
Steps
Step 1) Snap the handle off the disposable fork
Step 2) Tape it to the electric shaver
Step 3) Observe as your hair is irreparably ruined
