Sanitary & Sustainable: 5 Eco-Friendly Products For Your Germ Killing Needs

Now more than ever can we relate to germaphobes. COVID-19 has made us all re-evaluate our daily habits and how we clean our everyday objects and protect ourselves from germs, but are we also re-evaluating what these supplies' impacts are on the planet? With the influx of people wanting to sanitize anything and everything, these five products make sure you're staying squeaky clean in a smart and sustainable way!

1. Green Works Compostable Cleaning Wipes

3. Zoƫ Chicco Foaming Jewelry Cleaner

Jewelry is something that you don't probably think to sanitize very often, as we have a tendency to keep it on our bodies majority of the time, or in a storage where we assume that it hasn't been in contact with anything else. Your jewelry can pick up lots of germs from every day wear, and whether it's fashion jewelry or the real deal you definitely need to give it some extra attention here and there to sanitize it and give it a little extra shine. Zoƫ Chicco's foaming formula is BIODEGRADABLE, and comes with a cute little brush for you to scrub all the nitty gritty crevices in your favorite pieces! I's also super gentle so it won't harm any precious stones or metals!

4. Clean Safety Green Eco-Vinyl 4mil Disposable Gloves

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast ā€œBirthdayā€ on anyoneā€™s birthday. I knew all of the words to ā€œBack In The U.S.S.Rā€ 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. Iā€™m not someone to ā€œfangirlā€ 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.
