How to Clean Your Room Quickly and Effectively

Oh no! Your guest is coming over in about an hour! And your room looks like a hurricane hit it.Then rowdy children messed it up more. You begin to panic. This is going to be absolutely humiliating. Fear not human. Here’s an easy and effective way to get your room clean- and not be humiliated:

  1. Step One: Step back. Go to your door, without touching anything, and stand there. Well do not just stand there. But instead, analyze the areas around you. Look at where the messiest sections are. Is it near your closet, where clothes are piling up? Or is it your bookshelf where , books are literally “flying off the shelves”. Or is it that your wastebasket overflowing with trash? Or the pizza box under your bed?
  2. Step Two: Alright, step one is complete. Nice job. Next up, get a trash bag. You know, those big black plastic bags to throw garbage out with. Yes. You are now going to throw out, the old pizza box, or scraps and junk you no longer need that would be of no use to donate because it is so broken. Now your floor can be partially seen! Congratulations.
  3. Step Three: Now time for the dirty clothes. And don’t even try to hide that crusty sock that has been rotting on your floor for weeks. Now get your hamper and put them all into the basket. Then go run into the laundry room and place the articles of clothing where they are supposed to be. Then obviously come back to your room for step four.
  4. Step Four: The little things. Like those books on the floor. Bring them to their proper places. Put the stuffed animals you own on your bed for now. Empty your wastebasket to that trash bag. Keep the trash-bag until the very end.
  5. Step Five: Next put the stuffed animals where they belong, or put them on a pile on the floor if they go on your bed. Now it is time for you to make your bed. Fresh sheets if needed are advisable. Make sure it’s all smooth. Place the stuffed animals back on your bed. Continue to step six.
  6. Step Six: Your room is clean. But it looks too clean. So it seems suspicious. So go jump onto your bed. But do not mess it up too much. And then take out that trash bag.Also bring any dirty dishes downstairs and put them where they have to go.Organize your desk a little bit but not too much. And don’t forget to lightly spray some Febreze in your bedroom.

Alright. You have cleaned your bedroom! Congratulations. You and your guest are happy to be chilling in a nice, clean room. And now whoever you live with will not complain. And if you live alone, then you won’t yell at yourself for it. That is all for this handy guide. Good luck!
Also results may vary on your determination and how actually messy your room is. Like I said, good luck. This does take effort and practice.But you can do it. I believe in you.

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.
