Jennifer’s bedroom at her parent’s residence has been a mess for the entire week of Oct. 1st.
Jennifer lives with her parents in Westchester, N.Y. Her bedroom is a small, attic-like space with one window. Clothing, books, water bottles and papers were scattered around the room throughout the week.
Jennifer has not time to clean her room due to a busy academic and social schedule. Multiple essays and readings for different classes have kept her from the necessary organization of her room along with lunch and dinner dates.
Jennifer hopes to get the necessary cleaning done over Columbus Day weekend. “When everything is scattered around like this, I have difficulty getting my thoughts in order. I just feel so unorganized, and that’s a bad feeling,” Jennifer said.
Jennifer’s room has been pink for over 20 years. It consists of a queen size bed, a television, a blue felt chair, wall-to-wall carpeting, a wooden bureau and some clothing racks. White shelves have been built into the front of the room around the window. DVDs, videos, old textbooks, jewelry boxes and compact discs are on the shelves.
Jennifer’s mother, Angela, wants her to clean her room as well. “She’s 20 years old now, so I can’t tell her to clean her room anymore. But her bed is never made, and her socks always get lost under her bed,” Angela said. Angela hopes that Jennifer will remember to dust and vacuum as well.
Hopefully Jennifer will be able to get her room and her thoughts in order soon.
