7 Tips for Keeping Your College Dorm Clean

Keeping your college dorm clean is a major difficulty. With classes, clubs, a social life and maybe even a jobs or sports there is little time to keep up with the cleanliness and organization of your room. I myself can say that my room is never constantly clean.

1. Clorox Wipes

Clorox Wipes have become the most useful cleaning supply for me in college. You need them for cleaning your sink, your desk, and pretty much anything. They are definitely a lifesaver and a necessity when it comes to keeping your room clean.

2. Mini Vacuum

Mini vacuums are great for keeping in your dorm because they are compact and do not take up a lot of space but they get the job done.

3. Swiffer Sweeper

Along with a mini vacuum, a Swiffer Sweeper comes in handy when it comes to cleaning your room. It will allow to clean all of those hard to reach places.

4. Decorate

Decorating your room and making it look nice will make you more motivated to keep your room tidy.

5. Stay Organized

If you keep all of your stuff organized then it is easier to keep your room clean. Buy organizing bins to put your stuff in and keep track of everything.

6. Clean Every Week

So that your room stays clean, it is good to stay consistent. Try to straighten up your room one to two times a week.

7. Do Your Laundry

Waiting 2 weeks to do laundry is never good. Your laundry builds up and it will make your room a mess. It is best to do your laundry often so this does not happen.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
