Your textbook has too much potential to just sit in a corner and gather dust (you’ve got your print dictionary for that). There’s so much you can do with it… here’s just a few of the many extraordinary ways to use an ordinary textbook:

10. Stool – chair too low? Can’t reach the top shelf? Your trusty, 7 cm thick textbook is here for you.

9. Weight – at a generous 1.2 kg, the textbook is a student’s best friend when it comes to stress-relieving workouts.

8. Weapon – for self-defence only, of course. Armed with one of these, you’ll be invincible.

7. Décor – Depending on the colour scheme and graphic design of your textbook cover, it may act as eye candy and bring colour, style, and life to any room in the house!

6. Paperweight – the sleek, 1.2kg, 22 by 28cm design is ultra-portable and more than capable of keeping your paper blizzard in line.

5. Hat – fresh from the runway, the tiekstbuch is a classic essential making a comeback this season, sure to step up any outfit. Pair one of these with geometric bangles for the perfect Monday-morning-out look. Don’t be caught without one.

4. Top-secret messages – pg. 389 and 1026, odd paragraphs: second letter of every third word highlighted in pink, unscrambled.

3. Building blocks – Lego is for little kids. Textbooks are where it’s at. Next time you’re at the library with some friends, go ahead and make a fort!

2. Pillow – ever had a sticky problem and been told, “Sleep on it”? This is what they meant. The textbook provides great support, perfect for side sleepers, back sleepers, and tummy sleepers alike. Even better – you’ll gain knowledge while you snooze, as information will enter your brain by the process of facilitated diffusion.

1. Study tool – yes, you can actually read textbooks! Astounding, right? (…just make sure you’re not holding it upside-down…)

*Note: this blog post is the result of me hauling a ripping-at-the-seams backpack to and from school almost everyday in the past week. Be nice to your textbooks, treat them with care. Don’t mutilate or vandalize them even if you do own them – but of course, being the wonderful people you all are, there was no need for me to say that – right?
