If you can't afford to or don't want to jack up the old a/c, here's some ways to beat the heat
Drink cool drinks
Take a cool shower
Sit in front of a fan
Go somewhere free with A/C like the library
Squirt or dab yourself with water
I only use A/C when I sleep. And this is only necessary because I moved upstairs to the second floor so I could rent out the first floor, and the second floor gets HOT.
