How to Clean Your Room Quickly and Effectively

Oh no! Your guest is coming over in about an hour! And your room looks like a hurricane hit it.Then rowdy children messed it up more. You begin to panic. This is going to be absolutely humiliating. Fear not human. Here’s an easy and effective way to get your room clean- and not be humiliated:

  1. Step One: Step back. Go to your door, without touching anything, and stand there. Well do not just stand there. But instead, analyze the areas around you. Look at where the messiest sections are. Is it near your closet, where clothes are piling up? Or is it your bookshelf where , books are literally “flying off the shelves”. Or is it that your wastebasket overflowing with trash? Or the pizza box under your bed?
  2. Step Two: Alright, step one is complete. Nice job. Next up, get a trash bag. You know, those big black plastic bags to throw garbage out with. Yes. You are now going to throw out, the old pizza box, or scraps and junk you no longer need that would be of no use to donate because it is so broken. Now your floor can be partially seen! Congratulations.
  3. Step Three: Now time for the dirty clothes. And don’t even try to hide that crusty sock that has been rotting on your floor for weeks. Now get your hamper and put them all into the basket. Then go run into the laundry room and place the articles of clothing where they are supposed to be. Then obviously come back to your room for step four.
  4. Step Four: The little things. Like those books on the floor. Bring them to their proper places. Put the stuffed animals you own on your bed for now. Empty your wastebasket to that trash bag. Keep the trash-bag until the very end.
  5. Step Five: Next put the stuffed animals where they belong, or put them on a pile on the floor if they go on your bed. Now it is time for you to make your bed. Fresh sheets if needed are advisable. Make sure it’s all smooth. Place the stuffed animals back on your bed. Continue to step six.
  6. Step Six: Your room is clean. But it looks too clean. So it seems suspicious. So go jump onto your bed. But do not mess it up too much. And then take out that trash bag.Also bring any dirty dishes downstairs and put them where they have to go.Organize your desk a little bit but not too much. And don’t forget to lightly spray some Febreze in your bedroom.

Alright. You have cleaned your bedroom! Congratulations. You and your guest are happy to be chilling in a nice, clean room. And now whoever you live with will not complain. And if you live alone, then you won’t yell at yourself for it. That is all for this handy guide. Good luck!
Also results may vary on your determination and how actually messy your room is. Like I said, good luck. This does take effort and practice.But you can do it. I believe in you.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
