Spring Cleaning: 4 Lifehacks That Will Make Your Yearly Clearing A Breeze

The spring season is not only a time to bask in warmer temperatures, but it's also when most people spring clean their home. Deep cleaning the home is essential after a long winter spent indoors. When you want to make your yearly cleaning a breeze, there are a few tips to follow.


Scan Important Documents

One of the most effective ways of cleaning out your home office or desk is to make digital copies of important documents or receipts that you've accumulated throughout the year. Upload the documents onto a computer and a hard drive to back them up and secure the information. You can also add the documents to a cloud to make them easy to access when you're away from home. Shred all documents that are uploaded and file the remaining paperwork to keep it organized.


Purge Each Room

Tossing out unused items that collects dust is one of the most effective ways of transforming your interior setting. Throw out products that haven't been used in the last year to free up extra space in bedrooms and closets. Consider using a large bin from a company like Cheaper Bin Hire to help simplify tossing out old items and prevent them from finding their way back into the home.


Clean The Oven

The oven is one of the most used appliances during the winter season due to baking casseroles and sweet treats to keep warm. Although it can be difficult to remove burnt food or spills in the oven, you can freshen up the appliance with a few household products. Chip off pieces that have dried inside of the oven and spritz burnt-on food with ammonia, according to housebeautiful.com. Wipe off the remaining residue with a mixture of baking soda and white vinegar.

Air Out Linens

According to hgtv.com, you can air out your bedspreads, rugs, and curtains that can accumulate dust and allergens during the winter season. Take them outside to air them out throughout the day and shake them out to remove dirt that has accumulated. Airing out your linens will save time instead of washing the products, which can ruin the materials in the washing machine.

Many people dread the spring cleaning process due to the amount of time that it takes to freshen up their space. By following a few easy lifehacks you can simplify your spring cleaning routine and make it as easy as possible. That way you can enjoy the benefits of a clean house without the stress.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
