House Adventures

I swear there is never a dull moment at our off-campus house. You would think that since we have been in the house since June that we would have our systems all figured out. Well that is nowhere even close to being true. Within our house we have one guy in a fraternity, two ex-wrestlers, one pharmacy major, one track runner (me), a 1 year old husky, and three cats ranging in ages from 3 months to almost 1 year old. 

With that being said, our dishes situation is a constant battle. It really is not hard to clean or even wash off one's dishes after he or she uses them, but in our house that concept is harder than you would think. Only the pharmacy major and myself do our own dishes in terms of cleaning after we are done. The other housemates basically do not understand that dishes do not clean themselves.

Another issue that is an ongoing battle relates to our cats. Since the guys that own the cats rarely ever clean the litter box, the cats decide to do their business in our downstairs bathroom tub, which happens to be where I shower. I would love to walk into my bathroom and not have to plug my nose in order to my teeth. 

The last rant of the day goes to the issue of general hygiene. Similar to not doing dishes, most of the housemates do not clean up after themselves in almost everything they do. I could not even tell you the amount of times I have walked into a room and a plate or bowl is growing mold because of how long it has been sitting out. I am not a clean freak but that is simply not acceptable. 

Until Next Time,

Matt
