Dorm Survival: Laundry

4. Oh the dreaded Laundry:

(Don’t take anything of real value. Thieves can attend college too.)

You may be coming from a family where your laundry may be done for you.

What about when the gear you take gets dirty?  When walking your dorm floor is the stench dirty laundry?

Oh the dreaded laundry!

Despise the thought of wasting your valuable on campus relax time watching a dryer turn? I sure did.

IF you leave your laundry in the machine, at worst it is stolen, or dumped into a damp, dirty corner.  

Can you manage 20 minutes to wash?

What about rinsing out a few things in the shower. Would you be caught dead doing that?

Don’t let them drip on carpet or you will grow a science experiment of black mold and die of pneumonia before you graduate.

Would you be nauseated trying to study sitting on a spinning washer?

As you shop for college think about how you will wash. What can be washed together?

How will you wash?

How often? How do you pay?

What products do you need on hand? Soap? Fabric softener?

Consider items that are durable, comfortable and will dry quickly.

Items can be hung up to dry on a hanger if they dry in a few hours. This saves dryer time and effort on your part.

Keep your clothes clean!

Basic: Sleep. Shower. Eat. Think. Relax. Exercise? Weather gear. Oops. Almost forgot: Class. Study. Computers can be used for more than gaming, Books.
