This is my single in Morrow House!

Been busy non-stop for the past three weeks at Smith (which I might make a post about in the future) but I took the time to make sure my room was tumblr worthy :)

I am doing my laundry today and so I thought I might as well make a post about it because I know that when I was a prospie it was something I was worried about.

All laundry machines at Smith (as far as I am aware) are located in the basement, which, to be honest, can be kind of creepy. These basements also tend to be where unsanctioned parties happen and where people like to play around with spray paint.

The number of machines can vary house to house, but in Morrow, we have 4 washer machines and 4 dryer machines. For a normal washer or dryer cycle, it is about $1.35-$1.50, which you can pay using quarters or your onecard.

As you may have seen in the pictures above, we have drying racks available for use for free in our house. Also, a cool feature we have is LaundryView, which allows you to see which machines are in use and for how long.

So there you have it, laundry at Smith. Some quick tips/hints to close out: 

1) Put all of your socks into one laundry bag so you don’t lose any.

2) Hang dry your jeans and sweaters. This prevents them from shrinking and erases the need to iron your jeans.

3) You don’t really need to iron or steam most of your clothes at all if you hand iron them while they are hot.

4) One bucket of Tide to Go Pods will probably last you all year and saves a lot of hassle. Also, don’t forget dryer sheets and dryer balls.

This semester, our wonderful freshman class house reps and h-secs (event planners) planned a fantastic party for Valentine’s day. Two bands, one from Amherst and one from UMass, came to our house and performed their entire sets for us. The party had a really good turn out and as always, we got to take some really cute photos :)

P.S. Sorry I forgot to post about it, but we had a party for Winter Weekend last semester.
