10 Items I Own But Never Use So Now They Gather Dust In My Closet

I think it's safe to say that most people buy things they don't actually need and then those items end up sitting in piles around the room. I am one of those people. I've recently decided that I need to do a little winter cleaning and it's a slow process. These are some of the items I've found that I forgot I even owned.

Beats by Dre.

I received the blue pair for Christmas one year during high school and the purple pair when I bought my MacBook but I don't use either of them. I now have AirPods and do not touch these Beats.

Backrest pillow.

I moved my dresser to the corner of the room and bought this pillow with the intention of using it as a little hangout spot. Over a year later, it still hasn't been touched.

Vacuum.

I bought a vacuum last year but I rarely use it. At this moment in time, I'm not even sure where it is...

"Killin’ It" notebook.

I have a thing for making lists and keeping notebooks. I tried to use this one as a To-Do list but it didn't work and just sits on my desk. I'll have to figure out a way to use it soon.

Record player.

My brother gave me this record player after he moved from college and it just sits on my bedside table picking up dust. I bought a new record so hopefully, I'll start to use it.

Dumbbells.

I kept these dumbbells so I could use them for home workouts but they really just sit there as potential objects to stub my toes on.

Jewelry.

I own a lot of jewelry that I never wear. The earrings and necklace that I wear every day never get changed unless there's a special occasion.

Candles.

I was looking through my closet and found these candles. These could've come into good use during baths but I never knew I had them.

Hammock.

I got this hammock sometime in the spring or summer and I've never used it. When I got it, I planned to use it all the time but I never seem to have the time..

Camera.

I've had this camera for a lot of years and it does get used when I go on trips but the rest of the time, it sits in my closet. I like to take pictures of random things and sometimes I'll go around campus finding interesting sights.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
