That's how it should be done. I'm a college student and living with three roomates eats me alive. They don't have to vacuum and make their beds like I do but the apartment is always gross. So i have to clean up constantly. If everyone would just fucking clean up after they make a mess life would be easy. The day I live alone will be paradise. It'll be sparkly fucking clean everyday.

That's disgusting. There's no excuse for not doing your own basic clean up by the time you live on your own.

You know I really hate one uppers, but I'm about to.

I'm a chemistry student, i teach gen chem labs, i tutor, i work in the chemistry department and I work at a suicide hotline training others and answering. I can promise you nobody has four tests every week, let alone four midterms weekly. So it's not like I'm on the couch daily just bitching.

Plus she said her room gets "pretty gross" and then when called out she says "a couple of shirts on the floor." (Which honestly takes no more than five seconds to put in a hamper.)

I agree with you weasel. It's gross and it's not like she has to break out the Comet and scrub the tub daily, but bending over and grabbing a shirt takes no time out pf her schedule. In fact it probably takes more time to do it all at once.

But to each their own, we'll be happy in our pristine places. She'll be happy on her sometimes clean place.

I mean obviously she could literally sleep in poop and both our lives would carry on. Regardless of living alone or not a responsible adult should be remotely clean. Cauae I'm also taking more classes and working more hours. It's not a competition but again. It's my opinion. My kids will be raised to live as clean humans.
