5 Good House Cleaning Tips

(Most People) Don't like cleaning, or you might have to do it when you really don't want to, and you know no matter how long you slack it off it's going to have to get done at some point. So when you do have to clean, here are some tips to get it done and over with the first time so you can enjoy the rest of your day.

1. Put on up beat pop music
Putting on up beat dancing music makes you want to just get up and dance or sing, and while you are doing it bend down pick up something, or wipe down something, and clean.

2. If you must take a break then just have a small 5 minute one
If you clean a little bit but then have a 20 minute break, then you will most likely not want to get up and clean again, so just clean all at once or just have a small 5 minute break.

3. Not only small breaks but try not to sit down
Sitting down can turn into a break which then turns into not cleaning, so if you have to sort something or pick stuff up off the ground then try standing or moving around instead of staying in the same spot the whole time.

4. Sort stuff into piles instead of putting it away one at a time
If you have a big pile of stuff to put away, don't just take one thing at a time and put it away, separate all the stuff into different piles so it is more organized and so you can put away all the stuff in one pile all at once where it is supposed to go.

5. Don't just say you'll clean at a certain time
If you just say "oh i'm going to clean in 3 hours", then you will probably decide you won't want to by time it gets to that time, but if you just start cleaning then you'll already be cleaning so you can't make excuses about it, and you are just doing it, getting it done and over with, so that you can continue your day.

I hope these tips helped and you can just clean your house quickly but precisely. I post something new at least twice a week, so stay tuned.

Should student's wear uniforms?

My sister came home from school one night and said her class had a discussion about whether or not most schools should wear uniforms or if most should not. I thought about it and it was actually very interesting to think about. I had thought of some great reasons for both sides.

My school does not have a uniform we must wear and I always thought I liked it better that way, but when I stopped to think about it on both perspectives, I am not quite sure which one I prefer now.

On one hand, wearing a uniform makes it so you know exactly what you're going to wear the next day, so you don't have to spend 30 minutes trying to figure it out. Also, kids can't bully or judge you on how you're dressed, because everyone will be wearing the same thing.

Plus, you don't have to worry about someone wearing a shirt saying a swear word or something offensive on it. Although, some downsides are that one, you don't get to express your creativity through your clothes, and uniforms can get pretty pricey. You have to make sure you don't lose your uniform or else you won't have anything else to wear.

Though, on the other hand, not wearing a uniform you can feel free to be yourself by wearing what colours you want and decided what feels comfortable for you, and being able to change it up everyday. You don't have to pay a lot of money every few years or so to get the new size of the uniform, plus all the extra stuff like shoes or sweaters or whatever. Uniforms tend to be not as fun colours, so without them you can wear pink, green, blue, black, white, whatever you want. Although, with no uniform you have a higher risk of being bullied because your clothes are "ugly", or you don't have the "newest fashions". Also, the kids could be to creative, and get dress coded a lot.

These are some of my opinions on the matter and I would love to here what you think. Let me know if you are "Team Uniforms', "Team No Uniforms", or "Team Neutral". I personally think I am "Team Neutral".
