8 Steps To Motivate You To Clean Your Room

Have you ever wanted a really clean room but have no motivation to get out of your bed and shut off Netflix? Here are some tips to get you inspired and out of that bed!

1. Get Comfortable

No body wants to clean in tight jeans and a dress shirt. Opt for some sweats and tank or shorts and a big T-shirt.

2. Turn Up the Volume

Turn on some of your favorite jams and just rock out. Nothing too slow or melodic though-- You want to be pumped up!

3. Set a Goal

Rome wasn't built in a day, so allow yourself time to get things done. Start out with a goal. Example: "I just want to clean today and not worry about organizing until tomorrow."

4. Set Up a Time Frame

Along with a goal, setting a time frame makes a huge impact on how your bedroom will look. I give myself about an hour and a half worth of cleaning time. You may want to alter your time based on what your room looks like and how distracted you get.

5. Bring a Friend Over

Having a friend sitting on my bed, entertaining me while I clean always helps me get the job done, and it doesn't feel like so much of a chore.

6. Reward Yourself

Promise yourself a nice bath or a shopping trip if you clean your room efficiently.

7. PINTEREST

I cannot express how much looking at rooms on Pinterest inspires me to clean or organize my room. Look for different ideas and styles. Pinterest even has print outs for room organization!

8. Step Back and Reflect

When I just sit in my dirty room and look around, I realize how bad it makes me feel. Seeing how gross my room is inspires me to make a change and get up immediately.

When I look at my completed room, it gives me a sense of achievement and tranquility. It brings me peace and often times helps me remember to keep my room looking sharp!

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.
