Whenever I’m stressed, I clean. I know – weird. Cleaning your dorm and your life can help bring you a sense of control and peace. Don’t know where to start? Don’t threat collegiates, I have some tips and tricks to help you get organized!
- Say bye to toxic people & the things that remind you of them
-
Whether it’s an ex, an ex-roommate, or a toxic friend – remove them from your life. Block them on social media, and let that negative energy go.

Same process for jewelry and shoes. I know it sounds boring but channel your Marie Kondo and make it your therapy.
- Get rid of the papers and assignments from last semester (unless you need them)
-
Unless you need them for future courses, go through all the old papers and notebooks in your desk and recycle. They’re honestly just taking up space and preventing you from organizing the desk and maximiz
