Never leave your clothes in the laundry room. Bring your homework and camp out there until your clothes are done. Your clothes can get stolen.
I used to get them late at night and early next morning I get my clothes before anyone wakes up
AxelQC Yeahh, once my sister got a bunch of her underwear and bras stolen... and JUST her underwear and bras. All her other clothes were still there. weird.
Or you know.. Arrive a few minutes earlier.
completely depends on the country,city and the college you're in
Feel that. Or find all your clean wet clothes tossed out on the dirty floor.
*_respect the janitors_*
*_who knows what they’ve seen_*
Probably a goat sacrifice ritual
Mysterious things unlike any seen on earth
after being a janitor (not at college) all we do is complain about how messy things are and then clean them as slowly as humanly possible, I once saw another janitor clean the same thing for 15 minutes, it wasn't even dirty he just kept wiping it. chilliest job ever 10/10 especially if you know what all you have to clean in order to not get written up then you just go to the bathroom and take 1 hr breaks every so often, they never knew lol
Probably a goat sacrificial ritual in the showers. Real awkward there.
Looking back on my freshmen year this is scarily accurate. Floor mates playing the slam the door and run down the hall game. No washers or dryers available. Brick of cookies wrapped in napkins. Such fond memories

@@milangijo4371 bit of both. it’s mainly just stressful
@@ahoee true
sugar: Eight times more addictive than cocaine. Five times more likely to cause death. But it's legal.
me: idgaf. lemme eat my cookie bricks.
These are just my personal tips from my own experience:
1) PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD when choosing your beds do NOT choose the one close to the door unless you want to be the one to turn off the lights and open the door for the entire year.
2) DON’T and I repeat DON’T use other people’s stuff without their permission and don’t let others use your stuff without your permission.
3) Get little curtains ( thick enough to block out light) to surround your bed if you bunk because trust me you WILL need them.
4) Get noise cancelling headphones/earplugs and a sleeping mask to block out any light or sound when you sleep. IT WILL HELP SO SO FREAKING MUCH.
You can get out of turning off the lights if you sleep first. Tried and tested.
The earphones are absolute must! Trust me! Or ear plugs if you're not into music!
Me when I already have been turning off the lights and opening the door for my brother for YEARS
i'm scared to tell my roommate "no" or "you didn't ask permission so you can't touch my stuff". i'm a guy but most of my friends are girls, and i'm pretty scrawny. what if my roommate beats me up or something?
@@ewm6219 Chances of getting beaten up in a college dorm are pretty low tbh, but u still gotta make your boundaries clear no matter what happens, and most of the time ur roommate will probably respect ur boundaries.

@@de_lor_ium9715 just pace yourself.
ok, thx for the tips guys!

My other tips for surviving college dorm life:
1: If you have the option of getting apartment-style living, do it. Then you won't have to do the 200 meter dash every time you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, and you don't have to worry as much about foot fungus or any of that crap. It's often more expensive that way, but trust me, it's worth the extra money.
2: Set a code of conduct with your roommate(s)/suitemate(s) the day you move in, possibly before that if you know who your they will be and how to contact them ahead of time. Trust me, laying down some ground rules first-thing will prevent a lot of arguments down the road.
3: If you have any kind of food allergies (especially if they're uncommon), don't get a meal plan unless it's required and/or your campus has enough dining options that you can be sure are safe for you. If you're required to get a meal plan and your diet doesn't really mesh well with what's offered, and the school won't make an exception for you, purchase the cheapest meal plan that's available. This way, you can have maximum control over what's in the food that you eat while losing the smallest amount of money possible.
4: Know what's allowed and not allowed in your campus housing BEFORE you decide to move in. A lot of campuses have restrictions on pets, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, candles, and/or other things that you may already own. The worst thing about moving is having to get rid of stuff because either there's no room for it or it's not allowed where you live. The only thing worse than that is being evicted because you get caught possessing something that violates the housing policies.
5: If you don't have a private bedroom that has a working locking mechanism, purchase a high-security safe for all your important documents, prescription medications, and other valuables that you can't easily replace. I'd recommend getting that anyways, you can never be too careful.
6: Be aware of what your roommate(s)/suitemate(s) already have before purchasing any sharable items and checking to see if your dorm already comes with it. You don't want to spend money on a toaster, a crockpot, a blender, a stand mixer, a blow dryer, a rice cooker, a mini-fridge/freezer, pasta strainers of six different sizes, twelve different cutting boards, two muffin pans, two cookie sheets, a knife set, and a whole bunch of various kitchen utensils only for your roomie(s) to show up with their own stuff that they were planning on sharing with you anyways. I'd recommend meeting up with your roomie(s) over Zoom beforehand to discuss what you already have and what you collectively need to purchase, then coordinate who's going to purchase what.
7: Purchase some earplugs, earmuffs, or noise-cancelling headphones. Trust me. You'll need it.
8: Maintain a regular cleaning schedule between you and your roommate(s). We typically use Saturdays as our cleaning day; we clean the floors, shower/tub, toilet, sinks, stove, mirrors, windows, doorknobs, and microwave once a week; we deep clean the cabinets, doors, fridge, and oven once every couple of months; and we wash the walls and baseboards once a quarter. Daily cleaning chores include dishes, tables, counters, and just cleaning up messes as they happen. You can pick whichever cleaning schedule fits for you, but make sure all of your roommate(s) are in agreement.
9: Do not, I repeat do NOT use tape, nails, or screws on the walls; these will damage the walls, and the university will charge you for the damages. If you want to hang posters, use poster putty instead. If you have anything that's too heavy for poster putty, put it in a cheap frame and prop it up on your desk, shelves, windowsill, dresser, or other flat surfaces you have available.
10: Check to see what's already provided by the university before you purchase ANYTHING, especially if it's expensive. If the university has a fitness center, chances are you won't need to purchase a set of weights. If your dorm room comes with a refrigerator, you won't need to buy your own. You get the picture.
11: Learn basic conflict-resolution skills, so that if a conflict happens between your roommate(s)/suitemate(s), floormates, or anyone else you happen to interact with, you can deescalate the tension and help facilitate an environment where you can work together to solve the problem before it creates future conflicts.
12: Voice your concerns and pet peeves to your roommate(s). Don't automatically assume they're doing it specifically to ruin your day. Chances are, they're only doing it because they don't think it's bothering anyone. So long as you're diplomatic in your approach they'll likely be willing to stop the behavior, or at least come up with a compromise. But when you bottle up all that stuff inside you, that's a recipe for disaster.
Thanks for the advice I'm going to be moving into a dorm with 2 roommates.
That is the longest comment i have ever read through. My eyes hurt.
This is to long for a UA-cam comment
Great advice. Thank you 🙏🏽
The meal plan one is bad advice. If you have major food allergies and the dining halls they have don’t really accommodate well for it, contact either disability services or the meal plan office and ask if you can avoid the mandatory meal plan first.
Then, if they won’t budge, purchase the cheapest plan possible. But you need to contact the school first instead of just giving in.
I thought you were joking about floorcest, but then my college said in my confirmation email: 'please refrain from romantic relationships with others on your floor'
Edit: I have now also delt with dorm dryers. FUCK dorm dryers man all my clothes were still wet after I put them through twice.
Floorcest happens often I’m ngl
I would bet your RD/RA had to deal with an inncident last year and they were not about to deal with that again.
Pro tip put a few extra quarters in the dryers if they allow it to extend the dry time without needing to purchase a second full dry cycle
Never had a problem with wet clothes. Check the lint trap. People don't clear it nearly as often as they should, and that can lead to clothes not drying well. Plus, it's a fire hazard not to.

You gotta be upfront about people who leave their laundry in the washer.
“Why are you touching my clothes?”
“Why are you leaving your laundry unattended?”
i give like a 5 min rule tops cuz i almost always show up early, if aren't there and no other is available your stuffs going to sit on top of that washer.
@TrainerblueTube "Nothin personal kid", also if someone did it to me i wouldn't even be offended.
pro tip: if you're frequently experiencing the laundry problem, here are a couple of suggestions:
1: do your laundry on a weekday. Everyone uses either Saturdays or Sundays to wash clothes, since there's no class on either of those days. Also quite a few people do laundry on Fridays, since there's not a lot of classes that happen on Fridays. Any other day should take a lot less time.
2: if you still experience this problem and/or you can't do laundry on weekdays, purchase a bar-style laundry soap (I prefer Zote), and wash all of your dirty clothes every day or every other day, then hang them up to dry in either the bathroom (if you have a private bathroom) or in your dorm room (preferably somewhere that's not carpeted, if you only have carpeted areas available then put some towels, a tarp, or something to either catch or soak up the water (you may even want to use both for maximum carpet protection).
3: if you ever have a day where you're out of clean clothes, use a fabric freshener spray to get you through until your earliest opportunity to wash.
4: schedule a specific day(s) and time to do your laundry, and don't deviate from that schedule except for emergencies. This way you won't fall behind.
5: if using laundry machines (especially public laundry machines), set a timer to go off 5-10 minutes before your laundry is supposed to get done. That way you have enough time to get there before your laundry gets done so your clothes don't get stolen and/or left in a heap on the floor. If you're lucky enough to have your own laundry machine in your dorm room (perhaps if it's an apartment-style room), it's still a good idea to set a timer anyway. Clothes left in the washer for too long will start smelling like mold and mildew, and clothes left in the dryer for too long will get wrinkled.
Do they have dryer?
@@shawn1320 most campus housing does have both washers and dryers

I watched this when it first came out as I was a senior in high school at the time. Now I’m a rising junior in college and rewatching this I was already laughing at the dorm night life because the “slam the door and run down the hall” game IS real and you WILL experience it as a freshman (bar COVID semesters)
As a fresh college dropout I highly recommend trying to find *anyone* you consider tolerable for a roommate before they randomly stick you with someone. My roomie always stayed out till 4am, and always brought people back to our little barely-liveable-for-two-people space and had them there until 6 in the morning. She cranked the heat on in summer months and the AC control was on her side of the room so if I turned it to something normal she’d just flip it back. She slammed the microwave door and turned on all the lights when I was trying to sleep. Loudest telephone conversations known to human-kind while I was doing online lectures. Caught COVID and spread it to me right before Christmas so I couldn’t even go home for break. Worst experience ever as a non-confrontational introvert e v e r
wow
The dining hall thing is so real. My first semester I was too nervous to actually smuggle food out, so I'd just sit in the dining hall doing homework for as long as possible and eat multiple meals before leaving. It was serviceable, but at the end of the semester I watched a kid come in with an empty gallon water jug and fill it with chocolate milk before leaving and I have never felt more regret in my life. All that food I could've been eating at 3 AM, lost.
Noted
Good thing the college I'm going to has unlimited meal passes
Your sacrifice shan't be wasted on us...brick time!!! :)
That food could've led to you gaining more weight, so there is an upside to this
i feel like im too much of a cheapscate to ever have remorse for doing this haha

@@mollytaylor8122 No problem ;) The roommate never had any common sense when it came to hygiene, unfortunately (I used A LOT of lysol air freshener because no other freshener would mask/cover the smell).
@@matthewjacobson252 thats when you just start leaving hints like a entire bottle of air freshener on them and don't say a word look at them and just spray them
As another fellow college classmate: please for the love of God do your laundry, and take showers, wear deodorant. We know if you don't. Trust me.
In all of my time in college dorms, I’ve been able to do my laundry by figuring out my floor’s partying schedule. That way, I could potentially have the entire laundry room to myself while everyone was out getting drunk or too hung over to function. Doing laundry on Saturdays around noon was typically a good bet, too, because everyone else had stuff to do with their lives at that time (and I was just trying to get out of doing homework).
starting college this fall. required to live in a dorm on campus for my first year. god bless you for the advice.

Not only did I manage to do my washing in private, I managed to do it for free!! One of my friends is renting an apartment near the dorms and has a washing machine and as long as I use my own detergent and fabric softener, I can use it for free. Make friends people, they are your most valuable assets! And you'll be theirs too!
Little advice for dryers, I have found that if you clean the lint filter beforehand it usually dries pretty well. (I have no idea if this is backed by Dryer Mechanics)
ALWAYS clean the lint trap before doing a load. If the machine can't breathe, your clothes won't dry.
People don’t always clean their lint filters??
You should always clean the lint trap. Not only will your clothes dry better, but it's a fire hazard if you leave it in there. The number of people who don't bother to clean it before they do laundry is astounding.

For the laundry thing there’s actually 4 options. Option three: pay a small amount of money and do your laundry at a laundry mat or option 4: go to your parents house each week and do it their for free.
A bit of a different experience, but I’m in the Army, and during basic and AIT, the laundry segment was the story of my life. There was always the mad dash up to the bay after training was done to get your bag of sweaty, stinky laundry into one of the 3 working washers (it was 2 by the time I graduated). Some people washed their clothes together for efficiency. In the beginning, we were polite, not touching anyone’s stuff until they came to get it. However, we all said “f it, I need to wash my stuff” so we moved their stuff to the dryer. Good times, and now I know what to expect in college!
Laundry life hack: only own black clothes so you don’t have to separate the darks and lights
^ bc you don't have to worry about bleach
I already don’t separate them out so I’m good 👍
Pretty sure I'll do this accidentally
pretty sure thats also the thief's, emo's, and cultist's life hack to some extent.
I just wash them together anyway
Pro tip: some colleges (like CSU) have websites where you can check the status of the clothes washers and dryers and even get notifications when there is one available.
it sucks to be a csu ram
@@Harry-vb1vr why so
Yo, I go to CSU
small problem, some of the colleges who have those, they just kinda dont work... Ever.
Imagine being able to afford CSU
You can also do your laundry on odd weekdays such as a Tuesday or Wednesday, most people will try to do theirs on the weekends. Also, try to get an off hour on those days, giving you plenty of time to wash and dry your clothes.
P.s. preemptively separate darks and lights before you leave for the wash. And ALWAYS wash and dry nice wear like tuxedos, dresses or just collared shirts separately
as someone living in a college dorm now, I can say this definitely helped, I often smuggle food (and it's easier when they give you mini plates you can "accidentally" take two so you can use the second one to cover/top it, I rarely do laundry (tho it is better now cause some colleges, including my own, have an app to tell if there's open washer/dryers before you even leave your room with your laundry), and the door games are all too common (and sometimes hanging things on the door like name tags, signs, small posters, or other decor are ripped off if not careful)

Guide to doing laundry(according to my floormate):

Depending on where you’re at (for example, the dorm I live in is mostly for students of one particular major) try to figure out your dorm’s laundry schedule. Since most of my dorm all has similar classes, there are certain days where EVERYONE does laundry, and I can avoid doing laundry at those times

The “Running up and down the floor, slamming all the doors” game is a real throwback.
What is it really
@@oldchannelimnotusing6809 Yes. I didn’t get a wink of sleep my freshman year.
@@oldchannelimnotusing6809 a lot of people go out to party or hang out super late in college, and they’re in turnt mode so they make a lot of noise leaving and entering the dorms when going to said party.
The doors in all of my dorms shut themselves, so they didn't slam, but people clearly didn't understand how loud their conversations were in the halls when they stumbled back at midnight. It got worse when I stayed over the summer and all the international students would revert to their home time zone. They'd get back at 3AM from playing FIFA in the lounge, or whatever they did, and keep the intense conversation going all the way down the hall past my room. It really sucks when you are trying to work early shifts.

I've always wondered what It would be like having the whole american College Dorm experience.
Gotta say It sounds like a real life experience and I'm both mad and extremely grateful that I live in a place where you don't really do that.
Here there's always a uni close enough to you and your parents let you live at home the whole time so in general you pay a lot lot lot lot less cause uni is also affordable here.
Yeah I commute also it’s not really a big deal I still get involved and hang out with people on campus and went to the dorms to see how the life is
Pro tip from someone with *THREE* PhD’s in Dorm Living: wash your clothes on the setting that’s gonna give you the coldest water possible. It reduces the risk of your light colored clothes (pink, red, purple, you name it!) bleeding onto your white clothes
I don't even separate my clothes normally so I think im good
Throwing some salt in there too also helps! It reduces the solubility of the dyes they use for clothes and so they don't transfer as easily.
Isn't that why you seperate the colors? So that they don't bleed on the whites.

Y'all, just do your laundry on Monday. Those machines won't be taken. Especially if you do it in the early morning.
That's an awkward time to do laundry tho
Stfu sam 88 you idiot, its the right dam time
Yeah but the morning ? Fuck that 😂
Sam 88 gotta do what u gotta do
3 am is usually a good time. if all the washers are full, at least 1 is usually done and its a good chance the person who owns the clothes in there fell asleep and isnt coming back for now. So minimal risk of running into them when u take their clothes out.
To avoid all the washers being taken, I usually did my laundry at weird hours. Like 2:00 in the afternoon when everyone is in class. Or 11:00 at night. Nobody does their laundry at 11pm and I could usually leave it in the dryer overnight without worry of anyone stealing it.

Dear High School seniors,
The moment you step in college you will:
• cry at night for whatever small reason.
• start making adult choices that you think you're ready for but really aren't
• buy your own groceries
• paybills
• make doctor appointments
• do your laundry
• hate your loud roommates
• feel lonely
• try drugs of any kind especially alchohol and weed.
(psychedelics are fun, just saying)
• either make some sort of radical change to your body:
• change your fashion
• get a new earring or new piercing of some sort
• let your hair grow (boys only)
• get a tattoo
• either you get invited to parties or dont get invited at all
• your freshman year diet will be shit
• your A's will slowly cripple to B's and so forth the more you stay in college.
• doubt your major
• miss family or loved ones at some point
• start having depressing thoughts at the end of the semester
• be broke

@@tateflores man! This sure makes me exited for college!! I love the prospect waking up at the wee hours of the morning to do my laundry so I can actually look/smell/feel like a decent human being! And people wonder why so many people don't finish. REALLY looking forward to it!!!! Not.

Spent 8 years at dorms, so I relate to some but I never had the laundry problem :D
Also, my #1 hack would be MAKE FRIENDS WITH STAFF !!! I cannot emphasize this enough. Cleaners, RAs, repairmen, dining hall staff front desk.... these people have the power to make your life so much easier, and will if you're nice to them!
Good advice, thx
8 years?! Elaborate
@@PartyboyDanny i had the same thought but then relalized their comments from 2yrs ago 😭
@@clairoo3142 what does that change?
what do you suggest doing to make friends with them?
Since my dorm had more washing machines than dryers, there was usually a few washers available somewhere in the dorms complex, so I would wash my clothes and then dry them at home on a clothesline. It saved an extra trip to the laundry room to get dried clothes.
It’s videos like this that make me glad I chose a college I can just live at home & drive to class everyday instead. It’s probably saved me SO many traumatic experiences as well as money in general I won’t have to pay back later.

Advice from a fellow double PhD in dorm life: if you REALLY need to do laundry, wake up at an ungodly hour and do it before anyone else is alive. Then pass out and miss your first class.
Epic
Yup
👏👏👏!!!
why is this so awfully relatable, those pass-out naps i usually get from those all-nighters are like a mini coma ahahahha
I remember when I first watched this video I had no idea anything you were talking about. Now I’m going to college and I had to look this video up and wow this is really good advice.
I’m gonna come back to this in a few years and will be so happy for this vid. This will prob save me in college

PEOPLE JUST SET A TIMER ON YOUR PHONE TO GET YOUR LAUNDRY ON TIME
I once was 2 minutes late to get my clothes, the amount of time it took to walk from my dorm to the laundry room, and someone had taken out my clothes, undid all the ties, belts, anything that could come off a garment, and placed them on top of my clothes pile in the middle of the floor. That is DEDICATION.
I was drying a blanket and I came 5 minutes before to find the dude still loading his shit into the dryer that had my blanket. People, especially freshman, are little shits.
i remember watching this when it came out in middle school, and now i’m watching it as a hs senior getting ready for move in day
7:50 and then you get mold because the moisture content in your room is so high it only takes a little bit of water to completely saturate the air.
Oh boy! Thanks for letting us know
The white board drawings are cool too, doesn't make a huge difference whether it's animated or whiteboard, both looks great!
I love this style of video. This is giving me good advice for future college dorms
Thanks!

I have one PhD in dorm room survival (freshman year). I lived in a suite (2 triples and 2 singles sharing a bathroom, kitchenette and living room). My roommates were a nightmare but this was partially circumvented by joining clubs, making other friends, and going on campus to study. Now I live in an apartment with only 1 roommate and it's SO much better. A bit more of a walk but I need exercise anyways so it's more than worth it. It's also about half the cost of a dorm/meal plan, with a bit more paperwork and the responsibility of paying bills and cleaning the bathroom. I recommend this option whenever available.
Laundry tips:
1. Have a lot of clothes so you don’t have to do laundry frequently.
2. Have multiple laundry baskets, and write your name on both.
3. Do your laundry on a weekday, and never on a Sunday night. Everyone else does their laundry on Sunday nights. It’s like homework where it’s the kind of thing a lot of people procrastinate until the very end of the weekend, you know?
4. Sort your clothes into lights and darks before going to the laundry room. One basket for lights, one for darks.
5. Check the laundry room before lugging your laundry down there and see what is available or almost available.
6. If you are taking someone else’s clothing out, put it on top, never on the floor. Don’t be that person.
7. When you leave your laundry, also leave your hamper either on top or in front of the machine. Depending on how paranoid you are, you can also leave a note telling the next person that if they need to remove your laundry to please put it in the hamper instead of on top or on the floor. Most people will figure this out without a note, but you might want to play it better safe than sorry.
8. Set an alarm for when your laundry is five minutes from being done and go to the laundry room as soon as your alarm goes off, so that no one takes your clothes out. Especially for the dryer, this means if your clothes aren’t dry you can dry them further.
Similarly you can set alarms for when other people’s loads finish you you can be the first to claim it.
9. When pouring bleach in, always make sure there is a space for it on the bottom that isn’t touching your clothes. Sometimes older machines take a while to fill and if that bleach is just sitting in the bottom with your clothes on top of it, it will stain your clothes.
10. If you have to pay quarters to use the washing machines, expect the machines to sometimes eat them and not function. Bring extra quarters.
As a college student who is living in the dorm for their second semester, this is extremely accurate. Especially laundry
What part time job are you working pls help
Just use a bag, conditioner, shampoo, and the showers.

You might not notice the smell but people around you such as your roommate, your floor, and even your classmates when you go to class can tell very easily that you've been wearing the same t-shirt for the past month, not just by the stains but the horrible stench. Don't be that guy.
Most universities nowadays have laundry apps that let you see remotely when laundry machines are open, and if none are available just do them at weird times at night and make sure to set alarms.

Also like... if you’re a girl and if you never wash your clothes because you will get... *ahem* stains. There’s also just that fact that it doesn’t sound healthy for anyone?

When I was in a dorm I always did my laundry early in the morning or very late at night (11pm-3am) and it was usually almost empty. I’d just sit in one of the seats in the laundry room and do homework or watch tv until it was done. I couldn’t go without doing my laundry. I walked so much and got so sweaty. They needed to be cleaned

For those wondering what the correct alternative to doing the laundry is, you have 2 options:
1: regularly visit home and take your dirty clothes with you to wash them at home
2: just burn them and buy new ones
I was hoping someone would suggest that
There are technically 4 options, but the other two are less desirable to most:
3: Stop doing laundry. You'll stink, but you'll save time and money.
4: Don't wear clothes. This may or may not get you arrested on campus.
Where I went to college, there were certain times during the day / evening when the washer(s)/ Dryers were in use. Also there was a ridiculously comfortable chair to sit in the laundry room
I love how I’m watching this as a 9 year old and still take notes on this.
Good thing I live in Floorabama ;)
**me who's still in middle school watching this**

yea basically
I love the whiteboard animations!
I searched high and low for this video to say one thing: This video is the rule book. I watched this before I came to college and it is entirely accurate. Follow everything. Especially the floorcest. I dated someone in an entirely different dorm building halfway across campus and it still wasn't enough space between us. I can't imagine what it would be like if they were on my floor.
Some more tips:
- Set a timer for your laundry AT LEAST 10 MINUTES BEFORE IT IS SET TO BE DONE. This avoids, in most cases, people taking ur stuff out of the machines and throwing it on the floor.
- If there's an option to room with an RA, TAKE IT. I did this my freshman year, while everyone was dealing with psycho roomies, I had a cool older-sister type roommate who is clean and knows boundaries
- Don't touch other people's stuff.
- If you want soda/ some other drink besides water, get it with a meal pass.
- I don't have the "slam doors and run down the hall" game, I have the "have the funniest most interesting conversations at 12am while blasting music while simultaneously falling off of and rearranging all your furniture" game
good luck fellow soldiers
my favorite activity is sacrificing goats in the shower, wdym..
Landon I sacrifice baby goats. In the tub.
Why specifically baby goats? Why specifically in the tub? HUH?
Landon no idea.
Edit: maybe I had to burn the shower as it one time was a bit hot, and only babies as all of our goats were imported and milked so we could continue to sacrifice baby goats.
Wait people shower in those I thought that was the sacrifice room
i sacrifice zombies in the shower.
Don't ask
For the washing wear darks in one week and wash them together and wear light the next and alternate like that
UN_CREATIVE I’ll just wear black 100% of the time so I don’t have to do multiple loads
Or just do it on Monday when nobody would probably do their laundry on that day.
@@christopherwinter2099 like early as hell too because no one wakes up at 4 in the morning to wash their cloaths
@@jairomorales1696 or two in the morning.
Or separate your clothes before you go to the laundry room and just make sure you’re on time/early to switch it out every time
