If
you watched the short video above, then you saw the Garbage Fairy. As
you noticed, he wasn’t the happiest of fairies, and if you don’t keep
your dorm room clean, he just might pay you a visit … ok so that fairy
was really just a college student with fake wings. But what if he were
your roommate? You don’t have to worry about angry fairies, but you do
have to worry about angry roommates if you keep your dorm room looking
like you’ve been throwing parties every night. And if you have been,
hopefully you at least had the decency to invite your roommate!
All
kidding aside, keeping your dorm room clean is only fair. If your
roommate is neater and cleaner than you, no matter your relationship you
owe it to him or to her to keep clean too. If you guys are friends, you
don’t want to start any arguments or cause any issues that might taint
your friendship. And if you don’t get along very well, keeping a sloppy
dorm room while your roommate is clean will only worsen the scenario.
Depending on your roommate’s personality, he might not mention the mess,
even if it is getting to him. So it’s best to go under the assumption
that you roommate would prefer it clean. After all, some people can’t
stand messy rooms, but who do you know has a problem with a clean room?
Then
again, as shown in the video, maybe both of you just aren’t the tidiest
of college students. Does this mean it’s ok to have dirty laundry and
food wrappers decorating your dorm room? No! When friends and guests
come to visit, they might not appreciate any lingering odors or having
to clear a pile of trash just to find a seat … on the floor. Also, if
your dorm room is truly in a disgusting state at the end of the year,
expect a fine for the extra cleaning that’s needed. Plus, it’s just
selfish to keep such a dirty dorm room. Other students will be living in
that room when you’re gone. If there’s food ground into the carpet and
strange substances growing on the walls, would you want to live there?
The
best way to keep your dorm room clean is to never let it get messy. And
think of it this way: that’s pretty sad and pathetic if you’re not
responsible enough to throw out your trash and wash your clothes when
they’re dirty! Perhaps you’re not looking to grow up anytime soon, but
hopefully you’re adult enough to keep yourself and your dorm room clean.
