I Don't Believe In Spring Cleaning

Why don't you just clean year round?

It has come to that time of year where people are getting their spring cleaning on. Yards are being cleaned up, cars washed, house cleaned, clothes changed out, etc. Well, I don't really believe in all that.

I'm not much of a spring cleaner. I'm sure a lot of what gets done is considered spring cleaning, but I just consider it cleaning. Winter is over, so yeah clean up the yard some. I might give my car a good washing, but I might not. My clothes are organized all the time. I randomly go through my room and clean stuff out so there really isn't anything for me to do.

I don't really believe in spring cleaning, to begin with. I mean, most of the stuff people do I feel could be done year round. There are all these articles out there with tips and tricks on getting everything clean. Once again, stuff that could be done year round. Why wait until this one specific time to clean your house?

I get that a lot of people mainly do it because after it's done, you feel good. Winter is finally over, everything is clean and fresh and ready for summer. I admit that, yeah, when I do some cleaning out around this time of year it does feel kind of good. However, so does every other time I clean.

Any time I get new clothes I go through all the ones I have and toss some stuff out. I have a "junk" drawer that I throw random stuff in and I'll go through that every once and again and fix it up. I' rearrange my room from time to time which means places that were covered get cleaned and the whole room is fresh. It feels just as good doing it then as it would come spring.

I feel like waiting for spring is just being lazy in a sense. It's giving in to winter and losing the energy to do anything. I like doing some cleaning in the winter because winter does kind of suck. It sucks the energy out of you and you really don't want to do any cleaning or organizing. It's nice to fight against that and feel like you really accomplished something.

I'm just going to sit back and enjoy watching people doing everything at once and doing all this work, that I've kept up with throughout the whole year. I'll probably go do something fun and not stress out about all the things that need to get done. I have no list.

So for those preparing for their annual cleaning, I wish you good luck. I hope you get everything done and I do hope that you feel good afterward. Just give it a thought about doing things more often.

What do you think about spring cleaning? Do you enjoy it? Do you agree that a lot of it should just be done year round?

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
