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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
