Tips For The Lazy Hostelite

1. Wear clothes only when you need to go out of your room. This keeps the clothes cleaner as they spend less time on you absorbing perspiration, and so can be worn more times between washings. Going naked can also help you save on air-conditioning bills in hot weather.

2. To get rid of smells (dirty clothes, food, bodily fluids, pet shit..), open the door and windows and turn on the fan at full blast.

3. Use dark-coloured bedsheets.

4. To clean a tiny single room, take a wet cloth and wipe along the path you normally tread. In the case of my room, it's a wipe from the window to the door, all 1.5 sq m of it, that's all I'm ever going to be stepping on.

5. To clean a double room, do nothing. Your roommate will crack and do it all.

6. Try to eat in the canteens so as not to accumulate food packets that will stink.

7. Messy projects should always be done in someone else's room.

8. Never take textbooks off the shelves. They look better up there then on your table.

9. Read notes off the computer screen instead of printing them out. Even less clutter. Anyway, what's the point of printing so much when you're only going to be reading 5%?

10. Wear clothes multiple times before washing but never let anyone know they haven't been washed by waiting at least a week before wearing the same item again.

11. Keep a pet and train it to take rubbish off your floor and to the corridor/ someone else's room.

12. Don't read the instructions on packets of instant noodles. It's not just for cup noodles! They are all just-add-hot-water. Don't wait for the water to boil. Just get from the hot water dispenser.

13. Eat from the pot to minimise number of crockery that need to be washed.

14. Steal disposable forks, spoons, chopsticks from the canteen to minimise washing even more.

15. Learn how to get off without touching any body part and without producing fluids. It's all in the mind. No more cleaning up after looking at porn.

16. Always win when you gamble. You'll never need to bring your wallet down to the "den" anymore.

17. Don't take in your dried laundry. Place the rack somewhere along the path from your room to the common washroom, and conveniently take what you need on your way to a shower.






That's all for now. I need to go back to my formal report. Yeucks.

Anymore ideas, friends, Msn or email them to me. HAHAHA.
