No one likes to do it, but it has to be done — whether you have had bad luck in the past, or you’re just starting to get the hang of it now, doing laundry in college is a struggle.

1. Convincing yourself it is laundry time

2. Separating your darks and lights

3. Almost forgetting to bring detergent

4. Walking to the laundry room

5. Having people ask you, "Oh, are you doing laundry?"... like yes, how'd you guess

6. Getting to the laundry room and wondering why it smells so bad

7. Looking for (and hopefully finding) some empty washers

8. Loading your clothes into the washers and realizing how much laundry you actually have

9. Deciding whether it's worth going back to your room for the 25 minutes your clothes are washing or waiting out the 25 minutes in the laundry room

10. Moving your wet clothes into a dryer

11. Trying to occupy yourself for an hour while your clothes dry

12. Only to find that your clothes DIDN'T dry

13. Moving your still-wet clothes into a different dryer, hoping this one will work

14. And being pleasantly surprised that your clothes actually did dry this time

15. Carrying your clean, dry clothes back up to your room, realizing the agony is over

16. Getting back to your room and sorting your laundry

17. Realizing that the underwear you just folded are not yours

19. You thought the pain was over, but laundry is still killin' your vibe

20. But, you remember that it's all over (until next time)
