Thoughts of a Foolish Dreamer

Two days ago, a guy friend of mine was going to come visit my roommate and I in our dorm. My roommate and I don't necessarily keep our room clean all the time, and at this particular time, our room was somewhat of a disaster area. After deciding to have him over, roomie and I both ran back to our room from class, and did a quick, cleaning job (more like frantically tossing things into boxes and under beds.) We even set up a new lamp so the lighting would be good. He came over, we talked and hung out, it was fun. After he left, we walked back into the room and just kind of stopped and looked at each other. Our room was clean for the first time since move-in day! It didnt even look the same. Now it was clean, well lit and the air freshener was working. Even that night, as we were laying in our beds about to drift off, we kept talking about how amazing it was that our room was clean. We were just giddy over it. It's a wonderful feeling, living in a clean room. Its just a shame that it takes having someone over to motivate us to do anything about the mess. haha. So, we have proposed having someone over every week to motivate ourselves to clean more. It might work.
