A Letter To The People In The Laundry Room

Take out your clothes, you lazy people!

A Letter To The People In The Laundry Room
Bethany Guide To College

Dear fellow washing machine users,

We all have one common goal when going to the laundry room. To clean our nasty clothes and to move on with our lives until we have to return to this annoying satan-like place. This could all happen very easily, except some people are really making this more difficult than it has to be. We all know who I'm talking about- the people who never take their clothes out of the machine.

Why? Why? WHY? Why would someone want to leave their soggy damp clothes in the machine for a ridiculous amount of time. There is a timer for a reason, let's use it people. There are only so many washing machines in the laundry room. Struggling to bring my laundry bag down to the basement of a building and then realizing that some jerk didn't take their clothes out can really mess up your day. Clearly, this situation has happened to me.

Now, I know what some of you are thinking, "take out their clothes and put your clothes in the machine". Personally, I do not want to touch a complete stranger's underwear or socks. No matter how clean they are, I don't want to take out your clothes because someone is being lazy as hell. I get it, sometimes you can't get your laundry out in time, but c'mon. This happens much too often.

The dryers are another situation. There is nothing and I repeat nothing worse than finally having your clothes be done from the washing machine, and then realizing there are no drying machines available. If this happens, you might as well throw yourself in the washing machine and cry for a little bit until there is a dryer ready and calling your name.

I'm just a girl who is trying to be clean and have enough leggings to wear to class. Not sure how my mom does laundry every day, truly inspiring. If you are the one not taking your clothes out of the machine, please get your life together.

Sincerely,

The girl who needs more leggings

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
