I Don't Believe In Spring Cleaning

Why don't you just clean year round?

It has come to that time of year where people are getting their spring cleaning on. Yards are being cleaned up, cars washed, house cleaned, clothes changed out, etc. Well, I don't really believe in all that.

I'm not much of a spring cleaner. I'm sure a lot of what gets done is considered spring cleaning, but I just consider it cleaning. Winter is over, so yeah clean up the yard some. I might give my car a good washing, but I might not. My clothes are organized all the time. I randomly go through my room and clean stuff out so there really isn't anything for me to do.

I don't really believe in spring cleaning, to begin with. I mean, most of the stuff people do I feel could be done year round. There are all these articles out there with tips and tricks on getting everything clean. Once again, stuff that could be done year round. Why wait until this one specific time to clean your house?

I get that a lot of people mainly do it because after it's done, you feel good. Winter is finally over, everything is clean and fresh and ready for summer. I admit that, yeah, when I do some cleaning out around this time of year it does feel kind of good. However, so does every other time I clean.

Any time I get new clothes I go through all the ones I have and toss some stuff out. I have a "junk" drawer that I throw random stuff in and I'll go through that every once and again and fix it up. I' rearrange my room from time to time which means places that were covered get cleaned and the whole room is fresh. It feels just as good doing it then as it would come spring.

I feel like waiting for spring is just being lazy in a sense. It's giving in to winter and losing the energy to do anything. I like doing some cleaning in the winter because winter does kind of suck. It sucks the energy out of you and you really don't want to do any cleaning or organizing. It's nice to fight against that and feel like you really accomplished something.

I'm just going to sit back and enjoy watching people doing everything at once and doing all this work, that I've kept up with throughout the whole year. I'll probably go do something fun and not stress out about all the things that need to get done. I have no list.

So for those preparing for their annual cleaning, I wish you good luck. I hope you get everything done and I do hope that you feel good afterward. Just give it a thought about doing things more often.

What do you think about spring cleaning? Do you enjoy it? Do you agree that a lot of it should just be done year round?

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.
