It is March, and do you know what that means? Spring is well on its way. It is hard to get out of winter mode when your life is still in a state of deep, cluttered hibernation. Here are some foolproof ways to clean up your life so you can enjoy the sunshine and pool lounging with ease. Bring on the heat.
Clean your car. I don't know the reasoning behind long car wash lines and nice days, but it always seems like a good thing to do. Go get a car wash, vacuum and throw away all cookout trays and Gatorade bottles tossing around, and drive home in the nice weather with your windows down.
Throw away old function shirts. Especially for those seniors. How often are you going to wear those shirts in the real world? Sell them to younger girls in your sorority, or leave them in the chapter room with a donation box for your vodka soda fund.
Delete old numbers. Examples include your lab partner or that rando from your group project freshman year. Do you really still need their number in your phone? This goes for old hookups, too. Delete them from your phones and maybe you can, someday, delete them from your memory.
Find out what your actual bra size is. Proceed to throw away your 8,000 bras that do not match up with this number. I do not care how cute and lacy they are, they don't fit you and you don't need them.
Invest in new makeup. Try a few essentials, like great mascara, or replacing your favorite lip gloss that has been on its last leg. Throw away any eyeliner you purchased prior to 2013, or any item you bought for a theme party, because it is probably not doing you any favors. Clean your make up brushes, too; your skin will thank you!
Clean up your social media. Whether that means deleting your Facebook and going incognito for a while, or un-following that girl on Instagram, from your hall freshman year, whose multitude of selfies kind of piss you off. You do not need to get heated every time you refresh your Insta feed.
Get a degree audit. This is important, yet horrifying. Tired of not understanding your transcripts and which classes count for what, and if you will ever graduate? Go get a degree audit. Be prepared for tears or a painful convo with your parents. Remember, whatever panic or calm will ensue is the first step to getting your act together.
