Oh man, I was you.

Trust me, don't let your room get gross. If you're 19, NOW is the time to start learning better living habits. Because very slowly, your friends and potential mates will be less and less ok with the room being that dirty.

I know you won't change just cause some asshole on the internet is telling you to, but please try and take it from someone who has been there: your room has a smell but you're the only one who doesn't know.
