Dorm Mom Helps Hurricane Ike's Relief Effort

Dorm Mom has been contracted to help with hurricane Ike relief effort around the Galveston and Houston areas in Texas. Dorm Mom will be providing its signature laundry services to relief workers that are helping the victims of hurricane Ike in the wake of the devastation that wrecked havoc on the gulf coast. As relief workers are working hard to get the cities back to life and people back to their homes, Dorm Mom will be doing their laundry and helping with clean-up efforts.

Doing Laundry in the Dormitory

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

Laundry service for all College Students

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...

Save 15% with Dorm Mom By June 15th, 2008

For freshmen going to college for the first time, the thought of what to expect can be daunting. College actually is a lot of fun but you need to make the best of your time to enjoy the fun and have the most experience. With a full load of classes, homework, labs, intermural activities, etc. you can easily find yourself in a time crunch that would leave you wondering why there are only 24 hours in a day. Most college students find it extremely difficult to deal with new life challenges coupled with academics. There is little or no time available for homework much less sleep or cleaning. This leads to high stress levels and increase dropout rate among Americas collegiate institutions. However, there is great news for students enrolling during the Fall 2008 Academic Semester. Dorm Mom , the company that brings you laundry services, apartment cleaning, grocery delivery, dry cleaning, water delivery, etc. will extend its services to more colleges and universities in the United States and C

MAN IN COMMUNITY, “I NEED DORM MOM”

Who have said one time or another that they are grown or too grown-up to get help with things such as chores? We all may be guilty of such previous statement or thinking. It is probably certain that you are smiling upon reading this statement and saying I said that ten minutes ago. The reality of the matter is that we all relish the good old days when we did not have to buy groceries, clean our rooms, do laundry, pay bills, buy gas, etc. Why? Mom did them for all, because we were her little angel(s). Some of us were so blessed that we did not even have to clean our tables after eating much less taking our own bath at latter stages of our live. You missed those days right? “Yes”, at least that is how most people profoundly respond. Clear-cut, Mom is always mom but those good ole days diminish quickly, as her little angle becomes a big angel. That is one reason we claim were grown or mom tells us we are. Now you have the opportunity to reclaim those good old days. There is Mom out there

SPRING SEMESTER 2008, DORM MOM EXTENDS SERVICES, KEEPS TRADITION

Spring is the season of growth. The time of the year where plants begin to grow or flower blossom to beautify communities. Spring sprout is especially true for college students. It symbolizes the beginning of a new semester classes, maturation of students- especially freshman(s), more responsibility, and less time to juggle personal life and academics. Most college students find it extremely difficult to deal with new life challenges coupled with academics. There is little or no time available for homework much less sleep or cleaning. This leads to high stress levels and increase dropout rate among Americas collegiate institutions. In certain instances, the demand becomes so harsh that some resort to suicide. However, there is great news for students at Drexel, Temple, and Purdue University. Dorm Mom, the company that brings you laundry services, apartment cleaning, grocery delivery, dry cleaning, water deliver, etc. will extend services to these universities. Beginning Spring Semeste
