Doing the Goddamn Laundry

I hate chores.  I never fully appreciated how amazing my mom is until I came to college.  One of the things that I never understood is how terrible doing laundry is.  Like jeesus I hate doing it just for myself, let alone for an entire household!  So thank you mom for being awesome.

But this brings me to my next point.  Doing laundry in the Hopkins facilities (specifically the Charles Commons laundry room) is horrible.  Allow me to outline my feelings on the matter:

  1. Machines are never available.  I usually procrastinate doing my laundry long enough to require 2 machines simultaneously, which means I have to do laundry at 3 AM to get 2 goddamn machines.
  2. The unavailability is not due to a lack of machines...  It is because these goddamn kids are too lazy to get their shit when it's done!  Go into any laundry room on campus, I guarantee you at least half the machines are occupied by laundry that is done and has just been sitting there for 3 fucking hours. 
  3. If by the grace of almighty God you do happen to get a machine, it will undoubtedly be broken.  How many times have you loaded all your shit into a dryer, only to discover when you turn it on that it is more busted than Stevie Wonder's car after he tried to drive to the supermarket?
  4. Oh, that busted-ass machine you just attempted to use?  IT COST YOU $1.25.  Everyone talks about how you'll get held up in Baltimore...  Well shit - you get robbed every time you do your fucking laundry!!!
