- How often do you clean your home? I’ve shared homes for…well, technically my whole life, but our cleaning schedule usually puts me with some daily chores and some weekly. I have never, however, needed to “clean my room” the way most people seem to. Sometimes I feel the need to declutter an area, but I tend to tidy before bed every day. Clean as you go.
- What domestic chore do you hate? I have never done anything involving yard work. Mowing the lawn seems easy (though hot and tiring), but I’m sure I could manage to mess that up somehow.
- What domestic chore do you enjoy? I actually don’t mind ironing, cleaning, or unloading the dishwasher. I’ll find shortcuts when I’m low on time, but there’s nothing particularly hateful about doing any of them.
- Do you own a washing machine or go to the laundrette? I’ve always called it the laundromat. The closest I came to using one of those were dorm laundry rooms freshman and sophomore years (and both ACE summers). I always did my laundry at odd times, usually early morning or midafternoon, to avoid rushes.
- Do you iron underpants and/or bed sheets? Weird. Neither. I have not ironed less than I did in the last year since before I started doing my own ironing: fifth grade. There’s only so much time in a day, and when it was a choice between ironing pants that didn’t strictly need to be ironed and getting ten extra minutes of sleep, I chose the sleep.
