Dorm Mom: College Laundry Services and Apartment Cleaning

As a freshman, I never did know how to do laundry because my mom did all my laundry while I lived at home. Going to college and having to do everything myself was quite a dauting task. At first, I let weeks and weeks of laundry pile up and it becomes nasty and had to drag myself to the laundry room down the hall. It took forever to get them washed and dried. The worst part of doing my laundry is folding after it's done. I made a big mistake the first couple of times doing my laundry by waiting for hours and sometimes days before folding freshly cleaned laundry. The result was walking around campus in wrinkled shirts and looking like a retard. I was told to fold them right after it comes out of the dryer. This worked really well but was really tiring. I decided to hang them instead and it has nearly the same wrinkle resistant look if straightened and hung after taking them out of the dryer. With my busy schedule and total lack of interest in sitting in the laundry room waiting for t...

When I started college, I never gave much thought to how I would do my laundry as my mom did them all the time. Doing laundry does not look too complicated but doing it right is not easy. There was a laundry room couple doors down the hall in McNair hall. It had 1 washer and a dryer but there were over 60 students on the floor. The ground floor or basement had about 15 washers and dryers. That's not bad at all but there are over 256 students in the building. To do my laundry, I have to wait for when a washer is available. It takes about 45 minutes for the wash to complete. I had to make sure I was back on time or somone looking to wash could dump my stuff out getting it all dirty again. Seperating the colors was a hassel and the wait was exhausting. I usually take a book to read while waiting - an excellent way to pass time. If I am lucky, there maybe a dryer available as soon as I am done. If none is available, I have to wait and listen for the next completion beep. The most annoy...

Why would I want a laundry service, apartment cleaning or grocery delivery while in college? Does it signify laziness, inability to take on responsibility, elitism, or just another outsourced labor. Doing your laundry yourself does not make you a better person, it does not make you more resposible than those who outsource that labor. There is uneducated reasoning that most people believe: having Dorm Mom do your laundry makes you irresposible. That is very ignorant because the fact that I eat out does not make me a bad cook. There is nothing different between paying someone to bring you food and paying someone to do your laundry. Doing laundry is not a skill needed to be successful in life. Having Dorm Mom do your laundry will actually help you do better than others that spend hours in the laundry room weekly. Time spent outside the laundry room can be chanelled into more productive ventures. To be continued...
