Cleaning our tables, counters, and floors just isn't enough. We need to be thinking about places and things we touch everyday and aren't cleaning.

Your phone screen

Probably one of the most germy things we touch everyday.

Fridge/microwave door handlesĀ 

I don't know about your house, but these handles can get super gross.

Light switchesĀ 

Our hands touch them everyday without even thinking about it.

Keyboards/computer mousesĀ 

Your keyboard has probably been catching all those crumbs from chips you've been eating, as you watchiNetflix on your laptop.

Your car steering wheel/handlesĀ 

Your steering wheel or car handles are the first things you touch after going anywhere.

TV remotesĀ 

Everyone in your house is touching this and it probably falls on the floor half the time.

Sinks/shower handlesĀ 

It's like the place we go to clean, but we aren't cleaning the thing we want to use to get cleaned.

Above your refrigerator or cabinets

Just because you can't see the tops of these surfaces, doesn't mean they aren't dirty or dusty. Trust me.

Under different kitchen appliances

You know like your toaster, bowls, or your fridge that just sit there all the time. Stop cleaning around them. Scrub under there and clean up all those forgotten crumbs.

Your trash can

Food or drinks can miss the trash can liner and can fall into the can itself. The next time you take out your trash, wipe down the inside of it too!

Now, go get cleaning!

They find that shirt thatā€™s right in front of you, but just you canā€™t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didnā€™t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, Iā€™m sure you can relate to most of these!
